Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On March 31, 2005,  the  Registrant  agreed to the written  request of RFH, Ltd.
("RFH") to postpone the closing date until not later than April 15, 2005 for the
sale of all, or substantially all, of the Registrant's assets. That sale was the
subject of an Asset Sale  Agreement,  which became  binding on the Registrant on
March 21, 2005,  and which was reported on a Form 8-K filed with the  Commission
on March 22, 2005.

RFH stated  that it needed this  postponement  to (i)  consider  whether it will
complete the purchase of the Registrant's  assets under the Asset Sale Agreement
and; (ii) to determine whether RFH's lender would make the loan to RFH under the
terms of the loan agreement  entered into by RFH and Fortis Bank (Nederland) N.V
("Fortis").  RFH's  obligation to complete the purchase has been affected by two
lawsuits that were filed in March against the Registrant,  the general  partners
and their affiliates and RFH, among others. These lawsuits are further described
in the Registrant's  report on Form 10-K, filed with the Commission on March 30,
2005.  Among the  conditions of the Asset Sale  Agreement is that at the time of
closing  there not be any  litigation  pending such as those which were filed in
March. Unless RFH waives this and certain  conditions,  the Asset Sale Agreement
will not close.  Additionally,  these  lawsuits may have also  affected  Fortis'
obligation to complete the loan to RFH.  Unless Fortis funds the loan, the Asset
Sale Agreement will not close.

As noted above,  the lawsuits also name RFH as a party,  and RFH also represents
in the  Asset  Sale  Agreement  that it  and/or  the  sale  is  free of  certain
litigation.  Therefore,  the  Registrant  will  also  have to agree  that  RFH's
representation  does not now need to be true  before the sale can be  completed.
The  Registrant  has  notified  RFH that  Registrant  will  formally  waive this
condition at the closing.

Certain  relationships  between RFH, the Registrant's general partners and other
limited  partnerships  managed by the general  partners and their affiliates are
described  in the  report on Form 8-K,  filed with the  Commission  on March 22,
2005,  which  information  is  herein  incorporated  by  reference.   Additional
information  regarding  past  contacts  and  business  transactions  between the
general  partners and the  shareholders  of RFH are described under the caption,
"Past Contacts,  Transactions and Negotiations Between the Partnership and RFH,"
on pages 26 to 27 of the  Registrant's  Proxy  Statement for Special  Meeting of
Limited  Partners,  filed  with  the  Commission  on  January  20,  2005,  which
information is herein incorporated by reference.
