The Nonrecourse Promissory Notes had a balance of principal and deferred interest of approximately $80,000,000 at the maturity date of February 15, 1999; however, such amount was not paid at maturity. As a result, the Partnership was in default under the Nonrecourse Promissory Notes. Fox Capital Management Corporation ("FCMC" or the "Managing General Partner") contacted the indenture trustee for the Nonrecourse Promissory Notes regarding this default. In connection with these conversations, on July 30, 1999 the Partnership entered into a forbearance agreement with the indenture trustee pursuant to which the indenture trustee agreed not to exercise its rights and remedies under the indenture for up to 390 days. In turn, the Partnership agreed to (a) deliver to the indenture trustee for the benefit of the noteholders all of the accumulated cash of the Partnership, less certain reserves and anticipated operating expenses, (b) market all of its properties for sale, (c) deliver all cash proceeds from any sales to the indenture trustee until the notes are fully satisfied and (d) comply with the reporting requirements under the indenture. It is uncertain whether the sale of the Partnership's assets will generate sufficient proceeds to pay off the Nonrecourse Promissory Notes in full. If the Partnership cannot sell its properties for sufficient value, it is likely that the Partnership will lose its properties through delivery to auctioneer. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern. NOTE B - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Partnership have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Managing General Partner, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1999. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and two joint ventures in which the Partnership has controlling interest. An affiliated partnership owns the minority interest in these joint ventures. All significant interentity transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1998 information to conform to the 1999 presentation. NOTE C - TRANSFER OF CONTROL Pursuant to a series of transactions which closed on October 1, 1998 and February 26, 1999, Insignia Financial Group, Inc. and Insignia Properties Trust merged into Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust, with AIMCO being the surviving corporation (the "Insignia Merger"). As a result, AIMCO acquired 100% ownership interest in the Managing General Partner. The Managing General Partner does not believe that this transaction will have a material effect on the affairs and operations of the Partnership. NOTE D - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED PARTIES The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the Managing General Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all partnership activities. The Partnership Agreement provides for certain payments to affiliates for services and as reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership. The following transactions with affiliates of the Managing General Partner were incurred during the nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998: 1999 1998 (in thousands) Property management fees (included in operating expenses) $ 94 $124 Reimbursement for services of affiliates (included in investment properties and general and administrative expenses and operating expenses) 153 191 Partnership management fee (included in general and administrative expenses) 452 111 During the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, affiliates of the Managing General Partner were entitled to receive 5% of gross receipts from the Partnership's residential property as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $94,000 and $90,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner was entitled to receive varying percentages of gross receipts from the Partnership's Coral Palm Plaza property for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliate approximately $34,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. Since October 1, 1998 (the effective date of the Insignia Merger), these services have been provided for Coral Palm Plaza by an unrelated party. For the Partnership's remaining commercial properties, these services were provided by an unrelated party for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. An affiliate of the Managing General Partner received reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $153,000 and $191,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Included in this amount is approximately $4,000 of construction oversights costs as of September 30, 1998. No such costs were incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 1999. On January 4, 1999, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner purchased 3,554 of the Partnership's 1985 Nonrecourse Promissory Notes and 1,270 of the Partnership's 1986 Nonrecourse Promissory Notes from a noteholder for $600 per note. In each of the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, the general partner received a cash distribution of approximately $21,000 and $43,000, which was equal to two percent of cash distributions to the Promissory Note holders prior to July 1, 1999. The partnership management fee and partnership management incentive are limited by the Partnership Agreement to ten percent of cash available for distribution before interest payments to the Promissory Note holders and the partnership management fee. NOTE E - SALE OF INVESTMENT PROPERTIES On June 1, 1999, Minneapolis Business Park Joint Venture ("Minneapolis"), a joint venture in which the Partnership has a controlling interest, sold Alpha Business Center, Plymouth Service Center, and Westpoint Service Center, to an unaffiliated third party for net sales proceeds of approximately $14,202,000 after payment of closing costs. The Partnership's share of the net sales proceeds is approximately $9,657,000 and the minority holder's share is approximately $4,545,000, which was distributed subsequent to September 30, 1999. Minneapolis realized a loss of approximately $433,000 on the sale. The Partnership's share of the loss on the sale is approximately $294,000 and the minority holder's share is approximately $139,000, which is allocated to the minority holder through the minority interest in joint ventures' operations. The sales transactions are summarized as follows (amounts in thousands): Net sale price, net of selling costs $ 14,202 Net real estate (1) (14,423) Net other assets (212) Loss on sale of real estate $ (433) (1) Net of accumulated depreciation of approximately $6,638,000. NOTE F - SEGMENT REPORTING Description of the types of products and services from which the reportable segment derives its revenues: The Partnership has two reportable segments: residential properties and commercial properties. The Partnership's residential property segment consists of one apartment complex located in Atlanta, Georgia. The Partnership rents apartment units to tenants for terms that are typically twelve months or less. The commercial property segment consists of three business parks located in Florida, North Carolina and Texas, one industrial building located in California, and two shopping centers located in Kentucky and Georgia. In addition, the Partnership also owns a controlling interest in one joint venture whose property includes a shopping center located in Florida. The Partnership also owns a controlling interest in one joint venture whose properties were sold June 1, 1999. Measurement of segment profit or loss: The Partnership evaluates performance based on net income. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those of the Partnership as described in Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. Factors management used to identify the Partnership's reportable segments: The Partnership's reportable segments consist of investment properties that offer different products and services. The reportable segments are each managed separately because they provide distinct services with different types of products and customers. Segment information for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, is shown in the tables below. The "Other" column includes partnership administration related items and income and expense not allocated to the reportable segments. 1999 Residential Commercial Other Totals (in thousands) Rental income $ 1,844 $ 5,731 $ -- $ 7,575 Interest income on mortgage loans -- -- 61 61 Other income 36 306 594 936 Interest expense 620 -- 3,647 4,267 Amortization of deferred costs -- -- 52 52 Depreciation 266 1,390 -- 1,656 General and administrative expense -- -- 1,184 1,184 Loss on sale of investment -- 433 -- 433 properties Minority interest in joint ventures' operation -- (149) -- (149) Segment profit (loss) 208 1,852 (4,228) (2,168) Total assets 8,965 33,212 5,110 47,287 Capital expenditures for investment properties 98 222 -- 320 1998 Residential Commercial Other Totals (in thousands) Rental income $ 1,737 $ 6,601 $ -- $ 8,338 Interest income on mortgage loans -- -- 47 47 Other income 40 74 343 457 Interest expense 620 -- 3,647 4,267 Amortization of deferred costs -- -- 316 316 Depreciation 261 1,568 -- 1,829 General and administrative expense -- -- 794 794 Minority interest in joint ventures' operation -- (434) -- (434) Segment profit (loss) 84 2,053 (4,367) (2,230) Total assets 8,828 49,238 11,776 69,842 Capital expenditures for investment properties 90 361 -- 451 NOTE G - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the Partnership commenced an action entitled ROSALIE NUANES, ET AL. V. INSIGNIA FINANCIAL GROUP, INC., ET AL. in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo. The plaintiffs named as defendants, among others, the Partnership, the Managing General Partner and several of their affiliated partnerships and corporate entities. The complaint purports to assert claims on behalf of a class of limited partners and derivatively on behalf of a number of limited partnerships (including the Partnership) which are named as nominal defendants, challenging the acquisition by Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia") and entities which were, at one time, affiliates of Insignia ("Insignia Affiliates") of interests in certain general partner entities, past tender offers by Insignia Affiliates to acquire limited partnership units, the management of partnerships by Insignia Affiliates and the Insignia Merger (see "Note C - Transfer of Control"). The complaint seeks monetary damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership. On June 25, 1998, the Managing General Partner filed a motion seeking dismissal of the action. In lieu of responding to the motion, the plaintiffs have filed an amended complaint. The Managing General Partner filed demurrers to the amended complaint which were heard February 1999. Pending the ruling on such demurrers, settlement negotiations commenced. On November 2, 1999, the parties executed and filed a Stipulation of Settlement ("Stipulation"), settling claims, subject to final court approval, on behalf of the Partnership and all limited partners who own units as of November 3, 1999. The Court has preliminarily approved the Settlement and scheduled a final approval hearing for December 10, 1999. In exchange for a release of all claims, the Stipulation provides that, among other things, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner will make tender offers for all outstanding limited partnership interests in 49 partnerships, including the Registrant, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Stipulation, and has agreed to establish a reserve to pay an additional amount in settlement to qualifying class members (the "Settlement Fund"). At the final approval hearing, Plaintiffs' counsel will make an application for attorneys' fees and reimbursement of expenses, to be paid in part by the partnerships and in part from the Settlement Fund. The Managing General Partner does not anticipate that costs associated with this case will be material to the Partnership's overall operations. The Partnership is unaware of any other pending or outstanding litigation that is not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION The matters discussed in this Form 10-Q contain certain forward-looking statements and involve risks and uncertainties (including changing market conditions, competitive and regulatory matters, etc.) detailed in the disclosures contained in this Form 10-Q and the other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Partnership from time to time. The discussion of the Partnership's business and results of operations, including forward-looking statements pertaining to such matters, does not take into account the effects of any changes to the Registrant's business and results of operations. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those identified herein. The Partnership's remaining investment properties consist of one apartment complex, four business parks and two shopping centers, as well as one shopping center owned by one consolidated joint venture between the Partnership and an affiliated partnership. The following table sets forth the average occupancy for each of the Partnership's investment properties, as well as for the joint venture property, for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998: Average Occupancy Property 1999 1998 Commerce Plaza 100% 100% Tampa, Florida Regency Centre 100% 93% Lexington, Kentucky Highland Park III 94% 90% Charlotte, North Carolina Interrich Plaza 95% 99% Richardson, Texas Centre Stage Shopping Center 97% 97% Norcross, Georgia The Enclaves 97% 94% Atlanta, Georgia Medtronics 100% 100% Irvine, California CORAL PALM PLAZA JOINT VENTURE: Coral Palm Plaza 62% 68% Coral Springs, Florida The Managing General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at Regency Centre to an expanding local economy creating a demand for retail space in the area which resulted in three tenants, occupying approximately 12% of the total square footage, signing leases since March 31, 1998. Occupancy at Highland Park III increased due to 2,275 square feet of space being leased to a new tenant during the first quarter of 1999. Occupancy at Interrich Plaza decreased due to a tenant not renewing its lease and vacating its space during the first quarter of 1999. Occupancy at the Enclaves increased due to a more aggressive marketing campaign at the property. Occupancy at Coral Palm Plaza decreased as a result of the three tenants vacating the property during the fourth quarter of 1998. Liquidity and Capital Resources In order to finance the purchase of its properties, the Partnership sold Nonrecourse Pension Investor Notes with an aggregate original principal amount of $41,939,000 (the "Notes"). Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, the Partnership was required to pay interest at a rate of 5% per annum on the Notes, and accrue the additional 5% (1986 Notes) and 7% (1985 Notes) per annum due on the Notes. The Notes are secured by all of the Partnership's properties. The Nonrecourse Promissory Notes had a balance of principal and deferred interest of approximately $80,000,000 at the maturity date of February 15, 1999; however, such amount was not paid at maturity. As a result, the Partnership is currently in default under the Nonrecourse Promissory Notes. In an effort to resolve this default, the Managing General Partner contacted the indenture trustee for the Note holders. In connection with these conversations, on July 30,1999 the Partnership entered into a forbearance agreement with the indenture trustee pursuant to which the indenture trustee agreed not to exercise its rights and remedies under the indenture for us to 390 days. In turn, the Partnership agreed to (a) deliver to the indenture trustee for the benefit of the noteholders all of the accumulated cash of the Partnership, less certain reserves and anticipated operating expenses, (b) market all of its properties for sale, (c) deliver all cash proceeds from any sales to the indenture trustee until the notes are fully satisfied and (d) comply with the reporting requirements under the indenture. Accordingly, the Partnership is currently marketing all of its remaining properties for sale. If the Partnership is unsuccessful in selling its properties for sufficient value, it is likely that the Partnership will lose its properties through delivery to auctioneer. If the properties are delivered to auctioneer, the Partnership would be dissolved, any available cash would be distributed to the noteholders and the limited partners would lose their investment in the Partnership. It is expected that the Partnership will recognize a gain from the sale of the properties if they were delivered to auctioneer. The Partnership's Centre State Shopping Center and Medtronics properties are currently under contract for sale to unaffiliated third parties. These sales, which are subject to the purchasers completing their due diligence review and other customary closing conditions, are expected to close, if at all, during the fourth quarter of 1999. There can be no assurance, however, that these transactions will be consummated or as to what the final sales terms will be. At September 30, 1999, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3,402,000 as compared to approximately $10,798,000 at September 30, 1998. The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, from the Partnership's year ended December 31, 1998, was approximately $8,296,000. This decrease is due to approximately $17,841,000 of net cash used in financing activities, offset by approximately $1,816,000 of cash provided by operating activities and approximately $7,729,000 of cash provided by investing activities. Cash used in financing activities consisted of payment of deferred interest on promissory notes, a distribution to the general partner and a principal payment to the non-recourse promissory note holders. Cash provided by investing activities consisted of proceeds received from the sale of investment properties partially offset by property improvements and replacements, payment of lease commissions and a distribution to the minority interest holder of Minneapolis. The Partnership invests its working capital reserves in money market accounts. In addition to the Notes, the Partnership's Enclaves property is secured by mortgage indebtedness of approximately $6,856,000, which requires interest only payments with a balloon payment due in 2001. In light of the maturity of the Notes, no distributions were made to the limited partners for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 or 1998. In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the general partner received cash distributions equal to 2% of the interest payments on the nonrecourse promissory notes which amounted to approximately $21,000 and $43,000 during each of the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Capital improvements planned for each of the Partnership's properties are detailed below. Additional capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations. Commerce Plaza During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Partnership expended approximately $47,000 of capital improvements at Commerce Plaza consisting primarily of tenant and building improvements. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow. Based on a report received from an independent third party consultant analyzing necessary exterior improvements and estimates made by the Managing General Partner on interior improvements, it is estimated that the property requires approximately $87,000 of capital improvements over the next several years. The Partnership has budgeted, but is not limited to, capital improvements of approximately $41,000 for 1999 at this property which include certain of the required improvements and consist of tenant improvements. Regency Centre During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Partnership completed approximately $31,000 for tenant improvements at Regency Centre which were funded from operating cash flow. Based on a report received from an independent third party consultant analyzing necessary exterior improvements and estimates made by the Managing General Partner on interior improvements, it is estimated that the property requires approximately $127,000 of capital improvements over the next several years. The Partnership has budgeted, but is not limited to, capital improvements of approximately $48,000 for 1999 at this property which include certain of the required improvements and consist of tenant improvements.

Centre Stage During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Partnership expended approximately $7,000 for tenant improvements at Centre Stage which were funded from operating cash flow. Based on a report received from an independent third party consultant analyzing necessary exterior improvements and estimates made by the Managing General Partner on interior improvements, it is estimated that the property requires approximately $131,000 of capital improvements over the next several years. The Partnership has budgeted, but is not limited to, capital improvements of approximately $17,000 for 1999 at this property which include certain of the required improvements and consist of tenant improvements. The Enclaves During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Partnership expended approximately $98,000 for capital improvements at The Enclaves consisting primarily of HVAC improvements, floor covering and appliance replacements, and other improvements. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow. Based on a report received from an independent third party consultant analyzing necessary exterior improvements and estimates made by the Managing General Partner on interior improvements, it is estimated that the property requires approximately $1,020,000 of capital improvements over the next several years. The Partnership has budgeted, but is not limited to, capital improvements of approximately $477,000 for 1999 at this property which include certain of the required improvements and consist of landscaping, carpet replacement and roof replacements. Medtronics During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Partnership did not complete any capital or tenant improvements at Medtronics. Based on a report received from an independent third party consultant analyzing necessary exterior improvements and estimates made by the Managing General Partner on interior improvements, it is estimated that the property requires approximately $23,000 of capital improvements over the next several years. The Partnership has budgeted, but is not limited to, capital improvements of approximately $426,000 for 1999 at this property which include certain of the required improvements and consist of tenant improvements. Coral Palm Plaza During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Partnership did not complete any capital or tenant improvements at Coral Palm Plaza. Capital improvements budgeted for 1999 include, but are not limited to, tenant improvements, which are expected to cost approximately $80,000. Alpha Business Center Prior to this property's sale on June 1, 1999, the Partnership expended approximately $34,000 for building and tenant improvements at Alpha Business Center. Westpoint Business Center Prior to this property's sale on June 1, 1999, the Partnership expended approximately $32,000 for capital improvements at West Point Business Center consisting of tenant improvements. Results of Operations The Partnership's loss before minority interest in the joint ventures' operations was approximately $2,019,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to approximately $1,796,000 for the corresponding period in 1998. The Partnership's loss before minority interest in the joint ventures' operations was approximately $902,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to approximately $639,000 for the corresponding period in 1998. The increase in net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 is attributable to a decrease in total revenues only partially offset by a decrease in total expenses. The decrease in total revenue and total expenses is partially due to the sale of the investment properites in the Minneapolis Business Park Joint Venture (see discussion below). Excluding the operations of these investment properties and the corresponding equity in the net income of the joint venture, the Partnership had an increase in total revenues partially offset by a slight increase in total expenses. The increase in total revenue is due to an increase in rental income and other income. The increase in rental income is primarily due to an increase in occupancy at Regency Centre, Highland Park III, and The Enclaves which more than offset the decrease in occupancy at Interrich Plaza and Coral Palm Plaza. The increase in other income is primarily due to a lease buyout fee received from a tenant at Medtronics. The increase in total expenses at the remaining properties is primarily attributable to an increase in general and administrative expense and property tax expense offset by a decrease in amortization of deferred charges and operating expenses. The increase in general and administrative expense is primarily due to the accrual of the Partnership management fee in connection with the payment made to the note holders during the three months ended September 30, 1999. Property tax expense increased due to a reduction of the 1998 property tax expense for the Coral Palm Plaza property resulting from a successful appeal of 1997 property taxes. The decrease in amortization of deferred charges is due to the fact that partnership level deferred charges became fully amortized during the nine month period ended September 30, 1999. The decrease in operating expense is primarily due to a decrease in maintenance expense. This decrease is primarily due to decreases in parking lot repairs at Commerce Plaza, roof repairs at Interrich Plaza, landscaping at The Enclaves, and garbage removal at Coral Palm Plaza. Included in general and administrative expenses at both September 30, 1999 and 1998, are management reimbursements to the Managing General Partner allowed under the Partnership Agreement. In addition, costs associated with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and regulatory agencies and the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement are also included. On June 1, 1999, Minneapolis Business Park Joint Venture ("Minneapolis"), a joint venture in which the Partnership has a controlling interest, sold Alpha Business Center, Plymouth Service Center, and Westpoint Service Center, to an unaffiliated third party for net sales proceeds of approximately $14,202,000 after payment of closing costs. The Partnership's share of the net sales proceeds is approximately $9,657,000 and the minority holder's share is approximately $4,545,000, which was distributed subsequent to September 30, 1999. Minneapolis realized a loss of approximately $433,000 on the sale. The Partnership's share of the loss on the sale is approximately $294,000 and the minority holder's share is approximately $139,000, which was allocated to the minority holder through the minority interest in joint ventures' operations. As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner monitors the rental market environment of its investment properties to assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in expenses. As part of this plan, the Managing General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from the burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a high overall occupancy level. However, due to changing market conditions, which can result in the use of rental concessions and rental reductions to offset softening market conditions, there is no guarantee that the Managing General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan. Year 2000 Compliance General Description of the Year 2000 Issue and the Nature and Effects of the Year 2000 on Information Technology (IT) and Non-IT Systems The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than four digits to define the applicable year. The Partnership is dependent upon the Managing General Partner and its affiliates for management and administrative services ("Managing Agent"). Any of the computer programs or hardware that have date-sensitive software or embedded chips may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities. Over the past two years, the Managing Agent has determined that it will be required to modify or replace significant portions of its software and certain hardware so that those systems will properly utilize dates beyond December 31, 1999. The Managing Agent presently believes that with modifications or replacements of existing software and certain hardware, the Year 2000 issue can be mitigated. However, if such modifications and replacements are not made, or not completed in time, the Year 2000 issue could have a material impact on the operations of the Partnership. The Managing Agent's plan to resolve Year 2000 issues involves four phases: assessment, remediation, testing, and implementation. To date, the Managing Agent has fully completed its assessment of all the information systems that could be significantly affected by the Year 2000, and has begun the remediation, testing and implementation phases on both hardware and software systems. Assessments are continuing in regards to embedded systems. The status of each is detailed below. Status of Progress in Becoming Year 2000 Compliant, Including Timetable for Completion of Each Remaining Phase Computer Hardware: During 1997 and 1998, the Managing Agent identified all of the computer systems at risk and formulated a plan to repair or replace each of the affected systems. In August 1998, the main computer system used by the Managing Agent became fully functional. In addition to the main computer system, PC-based network servers, routers and desktop PCs were analyzed for compliance. The Managing Agent has begun to replace each of the non-compliant network connections and desktop PCs and, as of September 30, 1999, had virtually completed this effort. The total cost to the Managing Agent to replace the PC-based network servers, routers and desktop PCs is expected to be approximately $1.5 million of which $1.3 million has been incurred to date. Computer Software: The Managing Agent utilizes a combination of off-the-shelf, commercially available software programs as well as custom-written programs that are designed to fit specific needs. Both of these types of programs were studied, and implementation plans written and executed with the intent of repairing or replacing any non-compliant software programs. In April, 1999 the Managing Agent embarked on a data center consolidation project that unifies its core financial systems under its Year 2000 compliant system. The estimated completion date for this project is October 1999. During 1998, the Managing agent began converting the existing property management and rent collection systems to its management properties Year 2000 compliant systems. The estimated additional costs to convert such systems at all properties, is $200,000, and the implementation and testing process was completed in June, 1999. The final software area is the office software and server operating systems. The Managing Agent has upgraded all non-compliant office software systems on each PC and has upgraded virtually all of the server operating systems. Operating Equipment: The Managing Agent has operating equipment, primarily at the property sites, which needed to be evaluated for Year 2000 compliance. In September 1997, the Managing Agent began taking a census and inventory of embedded systems (including those devices that use time to control systems and machines at specific properties, for example elevators, heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems, security and alarm systems, etc.). The Managing Agent has chosen to focus its attention mainly upon security systems, elevators, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, telephone systems and switches, and sprinkler systems. While this area is the most difficult to fully research adequately, management has not yet found any major non-compliance issues that put the Managing Agent at risk financially or operationally. A pre-assessment of the properties by the Managing Agent has indicated virtually no Year 2000 issues. A complete, formal assessment of all the properties by the Managing Agent was virtually completed by September 30, 1999. Any operating equipment that is found non-compliant will be repaired or replaced. The total cost incurred for all properties managed by the Managing Agent as of September 30, 1999 to replace or repair the operating equipment was approximately $75,000. The Managing Agent estimates the cost to replace or repair any remaining operating equipment is approximately $125,000. The Managing Agent continues to have "awareness campaigns" throughout the organization designed to raise awareness and report any possible compliance issues regarding operating equipment within its enterprise. Nature and Level of Importance of Third Parties and Their Exposure to the Year 2000 The Managing Agent has banking relationships with three major financial institutions, all of which have designated their compliance. The Managing Agent has updated data transmission standards with all of the financial institutions. All financial institutions have communicated that they are Year 2000 compliant and accordingly no accounts were required to be moved from the existing financial institutions. The Partnership does not rely heavily on any single vendor for goods and services, and does not have significant suppliers and subcontractors who share information systems (external agent). To date, the Partnership is not aware of any external agent with a Year 2000 compliance issue that would materially impact the Partnership's results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources. However, the Partnership has no means of ensuring that external agents will be Year 2000 compliant. The Managing Agent does not believe that the inability of external agents to complete their Year 2000 remediation process in a timely manner will have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Partnership. However, the effect of non-compliance by external agents is not readily determinable. Costs to Address Year 2000 The total cost of the Year 2000 project to the Managing Agent is estimated at $3.5 million and is being funded from operating cash flows. To date, the Managing Agent has incurred approximately $2.9 million ($0.7 million expenses and $2.2 million capitalized for new systems and equipment) related to all phases of the Year 2000 project. Of the total remaining project costs, approximately $0.5 million is attributable to the purchase of new software and operating equipment, which will be capitalized. The remaining $0.2 million relates to repair of hardware and software and will be expensed as incurred. The Partnership's portion of these costs are not material. Risks Associated with the Year 2000 The Managing Agent believes it has an effective program in place to resolve the Year 2000 issue in a timely manner. As noted above, the Managing Agent has not yet completed all necessary phases of the Year 2000 program. In the event that the Managing Agent does not complete any additional phases, certain worst case scenarios could occur. The worst case scenarios could include elevators, security and heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems that read incorrect dates and operate with incorrect schedules (e.g., elevators will operate on Monday as if it were Sunday). Although such a change would be annoying to residents, it is not business critical. In addition, disruptions in the economy generally resulting from Year 2000 issues could also adversely affect the Partnership. The Partnership could be subject to litigation for, among other things, computer system failures, equipment shutdowns or failure to properly date business records. The amount of potential liability and lost revenue cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Contingency Plans Associated with the Year 2000 The Managing Agent has contingency plans for certain critical applications and is working on such plans for others. These contingency plans involve, among other actions, manual workarounds and selecting new relationships for such activities as banking relationships and elevator operating systems. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Partnership is exposed to market risks from adverse changes in interest rates. In this regard, changes in U.S. interest rates affect the interest earned on the Partnership's cash and cash equivalents as well as interest paid on its indebtedness. As a policy, the Partnership does not engage in speculative or leveraged transactions, nor does it hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. The Partnership is exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of its borrowing activities used to maintain liquidity and fund business operations. To mitigate the impact of fluctuations in U.S. interest rates, the Partnership maintains its debt as fixed rate in nature by borrowing on a long-term basis. Based on interest rates at September 30, 1999, a 1% increase or decrease in market interest rates would not have a material impact on the Partnership. The following table summarizes the Partnership's debt obligations at December 31, 1998, the Partnership's latest fiscal year end. The interest rates represent the weighted-average rates. The fair value of the debt obligations approximated the record value as of December 31, 1998. Principal amount by expected maturity: Long term debt Fixed Rate Debt Average Interest Rate 1999 $41,939 11.60% 2000 -- -- 2001 6,856 12.06% Thereafter -- -- Total $48,795 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the Partnership commenced an action entitled ROSALIE NUANES, ET AL. V. INSIGNIA FINANCIAL GROUP, INC., ET AL. in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo. The plaintiffs named as defendants, among others, the Partnership, the Managing General Partner and several of their affiliated partnerships and corporate entities. The complaint purports to assert claims on behalf of a class of limited partners and derivatively on behalf of a number of limited partnerships (including the Partnership) which are named as nominal defendants, challenging the acquisition by Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia") and entities which were, at one time, affiliates of Insignia ("Insignia Affiliates") of interests in certain general partner entities, past tender offers by Insignia Affiliates to acquire limited partnership units, the management of partnerships by Insignia Affiliates and the Insignia Merger (see "Part I - Financial Information, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note C - Transfer of Control"). The complaint seeks monetary damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership. On June 25, 1998, the Managing General Partner filed a motion seeking dismissal of the action. In lieu of responding to the motion, the plaintiffs have filed an amended complaint. The Managing General Partner filed demurrers to the amended complaint which were heard February 1999. Pending the ruling on such demurrers, settlement negotiations commenced. On November 2, 1999, the parties executed and filed a Stipulation of Settlement ("Stipulation"), settling claims, subject to final court approval, on behalf of the Partnership and all limited partners who own units as of November 3, 1999. The Court has preliminarily approved the Settlement and scheduled a final approval hearing for December 10, 1999. In exchange for a release of all claims, the Stipulation provides that, among other things, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner will make tender offers for all outstanding limited partnership interests in 49 partnerships, including the Registrant, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Stipulation, and has agreed to establish a reserve to pay an additional amount in settlement to qualifying class members (the "Settlement Fund"). At the final approval hearing, Plaintiffs' counsel will make an application for attorneys' fees and reimbursement of expenses, to be paid in part by the partnerships and in part from the Settlement Fund. The Managing General Partner does not anticipate that costs associated with this case will be material to the Partnership's overall operations. ITEM 6.
