in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services
issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

A compilation is limited to presenting in the form of financial statements
information that is the representation of management.  We have not audited or

procedures since that date.

                               March 31, 1997  

A.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Refer to the Partnership's annual financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 1996 for a description of the accounting policies which
have been continued without change.  Also, refer to the footnotes of these
annual statements for additional details of the Partnership's financial
condition.  The details in those notes have not significantly changed
except as a result of normal transactions in the interim.  In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary have been included.  Operating results are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1997.

B.  INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES

    The Partnership had a 50% interest in DR/US West End General
Partnership, a joint venture formed to own and operate a commercial office
building in Nashville, Tennessee.  The Company's initial investment of
$900,000 in the general partner joint venture was made on November 1,
1988.  Effective December 31, 1991, the Partnership adopted the
liquidation method of accounting for its investment in the joint venture.
Accordingly, the basis has been held at $1,000 since December 31, 1991.

Effective July 28, 1995, the partnership exchanged its interest in the assets of
DR/US West End General Partnership (DR/US) for an indirect 4.17% equity interest
(held through a limited partnership interest in Daniel S. E. Office Limited
Partnership) in Prudential/Daniel Office Venture, LLC (the LLC).  The LLC owns
six office buildings (including the DR/US property) located in Nashville,
Tennessee and Raleigh, North Carolina.  Management believes the fair valueofthe
partnership's interest in the LLC approximates capital contributions recognized
by the LLC (for the 4.17% interest) amounting to $1,361,445.  Such capital
contributions were valued based on management's (unaudited) estimated values of
the contributed properties.

C.  TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

    Fees and other costs and expense paid to the general partner or its
affiliates were as follows:
                                       
                                 Three Months          Year Ended        
                                Ended March 31,        December 31,
                                     1997                  1996    
   
   Administrative expenses          $ 18,000            $ 65,000


      In 1996, the Partnership paid $29,000, in deferred payments in addition to
normal recurring charges.

      The Partnership believes the amounts paid to affiliates are
representative of amounts which would have been paid to independent
parties for similar services.

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


Liquidity and Capital Resources
         
         At December 31, 1996, the partnership had $291,829 in cash and
cash equivalents.  This represents 6.01% of capital raised.  At March 31, 1997,
the Partnership had $359,231 in cash and cash equivalents.  This
represents 7.39% of capital raised.  The Partnership had established a
working capital reserve of 5% of the gross proceeds of the offering. 
After May 15, 1990, the Partnership's Prospectus provided that the working
capital reserve could be reduced to 3% of capital raised depending upon
the Partnership's experience with its properties.  The working capital was
reduced to allow the Partnership to pay costs associated with the DR/US
refinancing.  In the event such reserves are insufficient to satisfy
unanticipated costs, the Partnership will be required to borrow additional
funds to meet such costs.  The General Partner does not anticipate having
to borrow for working capital reserves in 1997.

          The General Partner has deemed it advisable not to make any cash
distributions since May 1990.  The General Partner cannot determine whether any
cash will be available for distribution until the Bellevue mortgage is
refinanced.


                                    
Bellevue


      In October 1988, the Partnership acquired a 66.67% interest in a Tennessee
joint venture known as Bellevue Plaza Partners holding as its primary asset a
shopping center located in Nashville, Tennessee ("Bellevue") which was renovated
in 1988.  The Bellevue property was 100% leased at the end of 1993 - 1996.Lease
rent from the tenants amounts to $48,367 per occupancy month.  In addition, the
tenants pay common area maintenance charges of $5,881 per month for a total of
$54,248 per month.

   On February 1, 1989, the joint venture obtained a $3,800,000 firstmortgage
loan on this property from an unaffiliated lender.  The mortgage bears interest
at a rate of 10% per annum and requires monthly installments of interest only
through February 1, 1991.  Monthly debt service was $31,667 until March 1991 at
which time monthly installments of principal and interest rose to $33,743.  The
loan became due on February 1, 1997.  However, the lender has extended the
maturity date of August 1997.  The Partnership is currently negotiating
refinancing this loan.The Partnership has paid debt service on a current basis.

      The pollution problem is moving slowly.  The State of Tennessee plans to
promulgate rules and regulations pertaining to state-wide pollution problems in
the next three months.  Hopefully, we would then know what it takes to resolve
the problem.  As part of the overall solution, a "super fund" of money would be
made available for participants such as Ted's Cleaners to pay for the cleanup of
the pollutants.  In the meantime, Ted's has accepted responsibility and has
funded various expenses.

      In January, Haverty's did not extend their lease by exercising their
option.  This means their lease terminates at the end of October 1997.They have
requested to remain in the center for an additional year from October 1996 at a
slightly higher rental rate but with a thirty-day termination rate.  Their lease
would essentially be a month to month lease.  At this time, we do not feel that
we need to commit to this.  A search has started for a replacement tenant who
could go into the center as early as November 1997.  If a tenant is not forth
coming, we would then grant Haverty's request.

      In the meantime, Mass Mutual as part of their mortgage extension, is
requiring that all cash-flow be placed in escrow in case the partnership has any
expense for Ted's Cleaners and for tenant improvements and commissions for re-
leasing the Haverty's space.  Unfortunately, this provision prevents the
partnership from paying any distributions from Bellevue Plaza.


DR/US WEST END

      In November 1988, the Partnership acquired a 50% ownership interest in a
joint venture known as DR/US West End General Partnership (the "Joint Venture")
which owns an office building located in Nashville, Tennessee.The Partnership's
Joint Venture partner isDaniel West End Limited Partnership,the generalpartner
of which is the Daniel Corporation (Daniel").  The property was 95% occupied at
December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996.  There are no tenant leases currently under
negotiation.  One tenant occupied 45.9% of the space with payments providing
annual lease income of $932,000.

      The partnership contributed 3310 West End office building to a new
partnership in July 1995.A major reason for this was we had one tenant, Gresham
and Smith, leasing 65,000 square feet out of a total of 107,000 square feet with
their lease ending in 1998.They have terminated their lease and are moving from
the building.  Of course, they are still liable for the rent until their lease
termination.  Management has known about their planned move for several months
and most of the space should be re-leased within six months with a number of
tenants which have equal or better credit.  The positive aspect of this is the
building will not have any loss of rental revenue.  However, their is a cost of
over $1,100,000 that must be paid for tenant improvements and commissions.  This
expense will be paid for from rental cash flow.

      Our contribution of 3310 in 1995 to the new partnership with Prudential
Life Insurance paying off the mortgage was a wise decision.  It now enables that
partnership to have sufficient cash flow to pay their these costs.If we had not
made that change, our partnership would not have the cash flow to pay these
expenses and the partnership would stand a good chance of losing the building.

  cash flow               $ 61,812         ($ 37,371)     $ 24,441         

      The Partnership utilized the proceeds of the offering to acquire,
operate and hold for investment existing income producing commercial real
estate properties.  Since the proceeds of the offering were less than the
maximum amount the Partnership was unable to diversify its investments to
the extent initially desired.

A.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Refer to the Partnership's annual financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 1996 for a description of the accounting policies which
have been continued without change.  Also, refer to the footnotes of these
annual statements for additional details of the Partnership's financial
condition.  The details in those notes have not significantly changed
except as a result of normal transactions in the interim.  In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary have been included.  Operating results are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1997.

B.  INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES

    The Partnership had a 50% interest in DR/US West End General
Partnership, a joint venture formed to own and operate a commercial office
building in Nashville, Tennessee.  The Company's initial investment of
$900,000 in the general partner joint venture was made on November 1,
1988.  Effective December 31, 1991, the Partnership adopted the
liquidation method of accounting for its investment in the joint venture.
Accordingly, the basis has been held at $1,000 since December 31, 1991.

Effective July 28, 1995, the partnership exchanged its interest in the assets of
DR/US West End General Partnership (DR/US) for an indirect 4.17% equity interest
(held through a limited partnership interest in Daniel S. E. Office Limited
Partnership) in Prudential/Daniel Office Venture, LLC (the LLC).  The LLC owns
six office buildings (including the DR/US property) located in Nashville,
Tennessee and Raleigh, North Carolina.  Management believes the fair valueofthe
partnership's interest in the LLC approximates capital contributions recognized
by the LLC (for the 4.17% interest) amounting to $1,361,445.  Such capital
contributions were valued based on management's (unaudited) estimated values of
the contributed properties.

C.  TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

    Fees and other costs and expense paid to the general partner or its
affiliates were as follows:
                                       
                                 Three Months          Year Ended        
                                Ended March 31,        December 31,
                                     1997                  1996    
   
   Administrative expenses          $ 18,000            $ 65,000

      In 1996, the Partnership paid $29,000, in deferred payments in addition to
normal recurring charges.

      The Partnership believes the amounts paid to affiliates are
representative of amounts which would have been paid to independent
parties for similar services.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources
         
         At December 31, 1996, the partnership had $291,829 in cash and
cash equivalents.  This represents 6.01% of capital raised.  At March 31, 1997,
the Partnership had $359,231 in cash and cash equivalents.  This
represents 7.39% of capital raised.  The Partnership had established a
working capital reserve of 5% of the gross proceeds of the offering. 
After May 15, 1990, the Partnership's Prospectus provided that the working
capital reserve could be reduced to 3% of capital raised depending upon
the Partnership's experience with its properties.  The working capital was
reduced to allow the Partnership to pay costs associated with the DR/US
refinancing.  In the event such reserves are insufficient to satisfy
unanticipated costs, the Partnership will be required to borrow additional
funds to meet such costs.  The General Partner does not anticipate having
to borrow for working capital reserves in 1997.

          The General Partner has deemed it advisable not to make any cash
distributions since May 1990.  The General Partner cannot determine whether any
cash will be available for distribution until the Bellevue mortgage is
refinanced.

                                    
Bellevue

      In October 1988, the Partnership acquired a 66.67% interest in a Tennessee
joint venture known as Bellevue Plaza Partners holding as its primary asset a
shopping center located in Nashville, Tennessee ("Bellevue") which was renovated
in 1988.  The Bellevue property was 100% leased at the end of 1993 - 1996.Lease
rent from the tenants amounts to $48,367 per occupancy month.  In addition, the
tenants pay common area maintenance charges of $5,881 per month for a total of
$54,248 per month.

   On February 1, 1989, the joint venture obtained a $3,800,000 firstmortgage
loan on this property from an unaffiliated lender.  The mortgage bears interest
at a rate of 10% per annum and requires monthly installments of interest only
through February 1, 1991.  Monthly debt service was $31,667 until March 1991 at
which time monthly installments of principal and interest rose to $33,743.  The
loan became due on February 1, 1997.  However, the lender has extended the
maturity date of August 1997.  The Partnership is currently negotiating
refinancing this loan.The Partnership has paid debt service on a current basis.

      The pollution problem is moving slowly.  The State of Tennessee plans to
promulgate rules and regulations pertaining to state-wide pollution problems in
the next three months.  Hopefully, we would then know what it takes to resolve
the problem.  As part of the overall solution, a "super fund" of money would be
made available for participants such as Ted's Cleaners to pay for the cleanup of
the pollutants.  In the meantime, Ted's has accepted responsibility and has
funded various expenses.

      In January, Haverty's did not extend their lease by exercising their
option.  This means their lease terminates at the end of October 1997.They have
requested to remain in the center for an additional year from October 1996 at a
slightly higher rental rate but with a thirty-day termination rate.  Their lease
would essentially be a month to month lease.  At this time, we do not feel that
we need to commit to this.  A search has started for a replacement tenant who
could go into the center as early as November 1997.  If a tenant is not forth
coming, we would then grant Haverty's request.

      In the meantime, Mass Mutual as part of their mortgage extension, is
requiring that all cash-flow be placed in escrow in case the partnership has any
expense for Ted's Cleaners and for tenant improvements and commissions for re-
leasing the Haverty's space.  Unfortunately, this provision prevents the
partnership from paying any distributions from Bellevue Plaza.

DR/US WEST END

      In November 1988, the Partnership acquired a 50% ownership interest in a
joint venture known as DR/US West End General Partnership (the "Joint Venture")
which owns an office building located in Nashville, Tennessee.The Partnership's
Joint Venture partner isDaniel West End Limited Partnership,the generalpartner
of which is the Daniel Corporation (Daniel").  The property was 95% occupied at
December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996.  There are no tenant leases currently under
negotiation.  One tenant occupied 45.9% of the space with payments providing
annual lease income of $932,000.

      The partnership contributed 3310 West End office building to a new
partnership in July 1995.A major reason for this was we had one tenant, Gresham
and Smith, leasing 65,000 square feet out of a total of 107,000 square feet with
their lease ending in 1998.They have terminated their lease and are moving from
the building.  Of course, they are still liable for the rent until their lease
termination.  Management has known about their planned move for several months
and most of the space should be re-leased within six months with a number of
tenants which have equal or better credit.  The positive aspect of this is the
building will not have any loss of rental revenue.  However, their is a cost of
over $1,100,000 that must be paid for tenant improvements and commissions.  This
expense will be paid for from rental cash flow.

      Our contribution of 3310 in 1995 to the new partnership with Prudential
Life Insurance paying off the mortgage was a wise decision.  It now enables that
partnership to have sufficient cash flow to pay their these costs.If we had not
made that change, our partnership would not have the cash flow to pay these
expenses and the partnership would stand a good chance of losing the building.
