&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
partnership agreement of the Registrant, as amended from time to time (the
&#147;Partnership Agreement&#148;) provides that neither the Managing Partner (as defined
in the Partnership Agreement) nor any of the general partners will be liable to any of the
partners for any acts or omissions made in good faith on behalf of the Registrant and in a
manner reasonably believed by him to be within the scope of his authority and in the best
interests of the Registrant, provided such partner was not guilty of gross negligence or
gross misconduct. The Registrant also is required to indemnify the Managing Partner and
the general partners against any loss or damage incurred by any such partner by reason of
any action performed or omission made in good faith by any of them on behalf of the
Registrant and in a manner reasonably believed by such partner to be within the scope of
his authority or in furtherance of the Registrant&#146;s interest, other than actions for
which such partner would be liable as described above. As a result of these provisions,
the limited partners of the Registrant will have more limited rights against such persons
than they would have absent the limitations in the Partnership Agreement. Indemnification
of the Managing Partner and the general partners would deplete the Registrant&#146;s
assets unless the Registrant&#146;s indemnification obligation is covered by insurance. At
present, the Registrant has no such insurance coverage and no plans to obtain such
insurance coverage. </FONT></P>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
          1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the
          Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
          has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
          such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
          of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
          indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
          Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling
          person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or
          proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in
          connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
          the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
          submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
          indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
          be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P>

Item 3.           Incorporation of Documents
by Reference.
The
following documents filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act") are incorporated herein by reference:
1.       
               The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended
               December 31, 2002.
2.       
               The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period
               ended March 28, 2003.
3.       
               The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period
               ended June 27, 2003.
4.       
               The description of the limited partnership interests in the Registrant, which is
               contained in the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed
               under the Exchange Act, including any amendment or report updating such
               description.
All
documents filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the date hereof
(except for the portions of the Registrant's Current Reports on Form 8-K furnished
pursuant to Item 9 or Item 12 thereof) and prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters
all securities then remaining unsold shall hereby be deemed to be incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement and a part hereof from the date of filing of such
documents. Any statement contained herein, in an amendment hereto, or in a document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated herein by reference shall be deemed to be
modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a
statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document incorporated or
deemed to be incorporated herein by reference, which statement is also incorporated herein
by reference, modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or
superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part
of this Registration Statement.
Item 4.           Description of
Securities.
The
securities to be offered are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
Item 5.           Interests of
Named Experts and Counsel.
None.
Item 6.           Indemnification
of Directors and Officers.
The
partnership agreement of the Registrant, as amended from time to time (the
"Partnership Agreement") provides that neither the Managing Partner (as defined
in the Partnership Agreement) nor any of the general partners will be liable to any of the
partners for any acts or omissions made in good faith on behalf of the Registrant and in a
manner reasonably believed by him to be within the scope of his authority and in the best
interests of the Registrant, provided such partner was not guilty of gross negligence or
gross misconduct. The Registrant also is required to indemnify the Managing Partner and
the general partners against any loss or damage incurred by any such partner by reason of
any action performed or omission made in good faith by any of them on behalf of the
Registrant and in a manner reasonably believed by such partner to be within the scope of
his authority or in furtherance of the Registrant's interest, other than actions for
which such partner would be liable as described above. As a result of these provisions,
the limited partners of the Registrant will have more limited rights against such persons
than they would have absent the limitations in the Partnership Agreement. Indemnification
of the Managing Partner and the general partners would deplete the Registrant's
assets unless the Registrant's indemnification obligation is covered by insurance. At
present, the Registrant has no such insurance coverage and no plans to obtain such
insurance coverage.
Item 7.           Exemption from
Registration Claimed.
Not
applicable.
Item 8.           Exhibits.
The following
documents are filed as a part of this Registration Statement.

Item 9.          Undertakings.
(a)       
          The Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)       
               To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
               post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)     
                    To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
                    1933;
(ii)    
                    To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
                    date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
                    thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
                    in the information set forth in the registration statement; and
(iii)    
               To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
               previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to
               such information in the registration statement;
provided,
however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13
or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference
in the registration statement.
(2)       
               That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
               1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
               registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
               offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
               fide offering thereof.
(3)       
               To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
               securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
               offering.
(b)       
          The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
          under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual
          report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
          that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed
          to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
          and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
          initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)       
          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
          1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the
          Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
          has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
          such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
          of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
          indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
          Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling
          person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or
          proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in
          connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
          the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
          submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
          indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
          be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
