                          (A Development-Stage Partnership)
                      NOTES TO UNAUDITED PROFORMA BALANCE SHEET
  
  
  NOTE 2 - INTRODUCTION TO PROFORMA ADJUSTMENTS (Continued)
  
  In accordance with Article 11, Proforma Financial  Information of Regulation S-X
  of the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  the  accompanying  proforma balance
  sheet was computed assuming that the limited  partnerships  discussed above were
  acquired at the end of the period  presented.  The first  adjustment to cash and
  the adjustment to partners' equity of $2,569,040  reflects the net proceeds from
  October 1 to December 28, 1998 from issuance of 3,885 units of limited partners'
  capital  ($3,087,250 less notes receivable and commissions and offering costs of
  $87,500  and  $430,710,  respectfully.)  The second  adjustment  to cash and the
  adjustment  to  subscriptions  receivable of $7,000  reflects the  collection of
  subscriptions  receivable  from  the  above  subscriptions.  The  adjustment  to
  investment in limited  partnerships and notes payable to limited partnerships of
  $4,933,705   reflects  the   Partnership's   acquisition  of  the  five  limited
  partnership  interests as if the Partnership's date of acquisition was September
  30,1998.  The second  adjustment to investment in limited  partnerships  and the
  third  adjustment  to cash of $210,105  reflects  the  acquisition  fee from the
  proceeds raised from October 1, 1998 to December 28, 1998.
  
  The  five  limited   partnerships   (seven   apartment   complexes)  were  under
  construction or rehabilitation during the period presented and had no operations
  which  should  be  reported.  The  Partnership  will use the  equity  method  of
  accounting to account for its investments in these local limited partnerships.

  partnership  interest in two limited  partnerships:  Trenton Village Apts., L.P.
  (TRENTON);  and United Development Co., L.P. - 97.0 (UNITED 97.0). Subsequent to
  September 30, 1998, the  Partnership  has acquired an interest in Brighton Ridge
  Apartments, L.P. (BRIGHTON RIDGE) and Desloge Associates I, L.P. (DESLOGE), each
  of which owns one apartment  complex,  and is negotiating to acquire the limited
  partnership  interests  in three  other  partnerships  that  own five  apartment
  complexes:   Ottawa   I,   L.P.   (OTTAWA);   Preservation   Partners   I,  L.P.
  (PRESERVATION); and West Mobile County Housing, Ltd. (WEST MOBILE). PRESERVATION
  owns the Autumn  Ridge I  Apartments  (PRESERVATION  AUTUMN),  the  Pontiac  "A"
  Apartments  (PRESERVATION  PONTIAC)  and the  Shumway  Apartments  (PRESERVATION
  SHUMWAY).  These investments commit the Partnership to capital  contributions as

  NOTE 2 - INTRODUCTION TO PROFORMA ADJUSTMENTS (Continued)
  
  In accordance with Article 11, Proforma Financial  Information of Regulation S-X
  of the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  the  accompanying  proforma balance
  sheet was computed assuming that the limited  partnerships  discussed above were
  acquired at the end of the period  presented.  The first  adjustment to cash and
  the adjustment to partners' equity of $2,569,040  reflects the net proceeds from
  October 1 to December 28, 1998 from issuance of 3,885 units of limited partners'
  capital  ($3,087,250 less notes receivable and commissions and offering costs of
  $87,500  and  $430,710,  respectfully.)  The second  adjustment  to cash and the
  adjustment  to  subscriptions  receivable of $7,000  reflects the  collection of
  subscriptions  receivable  from  the  above  subscriptions.  The  adjustment  to
  investment in limited  partnerships and notes payable to limited partnerships of
  $4,933,705   reflects  the   Partnership's   acquisition  of  the  five  limited
  partnership  interests as if the Partnership's date of acquisition was September
  30,1998.  The second  adjustment to investment in limited  partnerships  and the
  third  adjustment  to cash of $210,105  reflects  the  acquisition  fee from the
  proceeds raised from October 1, 1998 to December 28, 1998.
  
  The  five  limited   partnerships   (seven   apartment   complexes)  were  under
  construction or rehabilitation during the period presented and had no operations
  which  should  be  reported.  The  Partnership  will use the  equity  method  of
  accounting to account for its investments in these local limited partnerships.
