PART I

This Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. 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.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Krupp Insured Mortgage Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") is a
Massachusetts limited partnership which was formed on March 21, 1988. The
Partnership raised approximately $299 million through a public offering of
limited partner interests evidenced by units of depositary receipts
("Units"), and used the proceeds available for investment primarily to
acquire participating insured mortgages ("PIMs") and mortgage-backed
securities ("MBS"). The Partnership considers itself to be engaged only in
the industry segment of investment in mortgages.

The Partnership's investments in PIMs on multi-family residential
properties consist of a MBS or an insured mortgage loan (collectively, the
"insured mortgage") guaranteed or insured as to principal and basic
interest. These insured mortgages were issued or originated under or in
connection with the housing programs of the Government National Mortgage
Association ("GNMA"), Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") or the
Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"). PIMs provide the
Partnership with monthly payments of principal and basic interest and also
may provide for the Partnership participation in the current revenue stream
and in residual value, if any, from the sale or other realization of the
underlying property. The borrower conveys these rights to the Partnership
through a subordinated promissory note and mortgage. The participation
features are neither insured nor guaranteed.

The Partnership also acquired MBS collateralized by single-family
mortgage loans issued or originated by FNMA or the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"). FNMA and FHLMC guarantee the principal and
basic interest of the Partnership's FNMA and FHLMC MBS, respectively.

Prior to May 23, 1995 the Partnership could reinvest or commit for
reinvestment principal proceeds or other realization of the mortgages in
new mortgages. In the future, proceeds received from prepayments or other
realizations of mortgage assets will be distributed by the Partnership to
investors through quarterly or possibly special distributions.

Although the Partnership will terminate no later than December 31, 2028,
the value of the PIMs may be realized by the Partnership through repayment
or sale as early as ten years from the dates of the closing of the
permanent loans and the Partnership may realize the value of all its other
investments within that time frame. Therefore, it is anticipated that
dissolution of the Partnership could occur significantly prior to December
31, 2028.

The Partnership's investments are not expected to be subject to seasonal
fluctuations. However, the future performance of the Partnership will
depend upon certain factors which cannot be predicted. In addition, any
ultimate realization of the participation features of the PIMs will be
subject to similar risks associated with equity real estate investments,
including: reliance on the owner's operating skills, ability to maintain
occupancy levels, control operating expenses, maintain the property and
provide adequate insurance coverage; adverse changes in general economic
conditions, adverse local conditions, and changes in governmental
regulations, real estate zoning laws, or tax laws; and other circumstances
over which the Partnership may have little or no control.

The requirements for compliance with federal, state and local
regulations to date have not had an adverse effect on the Partnership's
operations, and the Partnership anticipates no adverse effect in the
future.

As of December 31, 1996, there were no personnel directly employed by the
Partnership.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

There currently is no established trading market for the Units.

The number of investors holding Units as of December 31, 1996 was
approximately 15,200. One of the objectives of the Partnership is to
provide quarterly distributions of cash flow generated by its investments
in mortgages. The Partnership anticipates that future operations will
continue to generate cash available for distribution.

During 1996, the Partnership made a special distribution consisting
primarily of principal proceeds from the Water View and Tarnhill Apartments
PIM prepayments. The Partnership may make special distributions in the
future if PIMs prepay or a sufficient amount of cash is available from MBS
and PIM principal collections.

The Partnership made distributions to its Partners during the two years
ended December 31, 1996 as follows:



1996 1995

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements including
those
concerning Management s expectations regarding the future financial
performance and future events. These forward-looking statements involve
significant risk and uncertainties, including those described herein.
Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated by such
forward-looking statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The most significant demands on the Partnership's liquidity are regular
quarterly distributions paid to investors of approximately $4.5 million.
Funds used for investor distributions are generated from interest income
received on the PIMs, MBS, cash and short-term investments, and the
principal collections received on the PIMs and MBS. The Partnership funds
a portion of the distribution from principal collections and, as a result,
the capital resources of the Partnership will continually decrease. As a
result of this decrease, the total cash inflows to the Partnership will
also decrease, which will result in periodic adjustments to the
distributions paid to investors.

The General Partners periodically review the distribution rate to determine
whether an adjustment to the distribution rate is necessary based on
projected future cash flows. In general, the General Partners try to set a
distribution rate that provides for level quarterly distributions of cash
available for distribution. To the extent quarterly distributions do not
fully utilize the cash available for distribution and cash balances
increase, the General Partners may adjust the distribution rate or
distribute such funds through a special distribution.

During February 1996, the Partnership received prepayments of the Water
View and Tarnhill Apartments PIMs. The Partnership received the
outstanding principal balances of these PIMs of approximately $16.7 million
and $7.5 million, respectively, and participation income from the Tarnhill
Apartments PIM of approximately $1.2 million. The participation income
from Tarnhill consisted of approximately $983,000 of Shared Appreciation
Interest and approximately $224,000 of Shared Income and Minimum Additional
Interest. The Partnership did not receive any prepayment penalty or
participation income related to the prepayment of the Water View Apartments
PIM. During 1995, the operating performance of Water View Apartments
declined due to insufficient levels of occupancy and higher maintenance and
repair expenses due to vandalism. As a result, the borrower went into
default on the underlying loan. Normally, a loan like this would
eventually be recovered through an insurance claim process. However, on
February 16, 1996, the
Partnership was able to receive its insured proceeds on this loan earlier
than anticipated due to Bear Stearn s purchase of the underlying insured
mortgage. As a result of the prepayment, the Partnership fully amortized
the remaining prepaid fees and expenses associated with this PIM.

The Partnership made a special distribution on March 15, 1996 to investors
in the amount of $1.70 per unit with the proceeds from the prepayments.
The Partnership will continue to pay distributions at the current
distribution rate of $.30 per unit per quarter. The General Partners will
continue to monitor the appropriateness of this distribution rate in the
future and will adjust it as necessary.

During 1996, the owners of four properties in the portfolio informed the
Partnership of their intention to sell their properties, transactions that
may take place during 1997. The sale of Paddock Club and Southland Station
II would result in a principal repayment totaling approximately $15.2
million, the sale of Silver Springs Apartments would result in a principal
repayment of approximately $7.2 million, and the sale of The Patrician
would result in a principal repayment of approximately $ 8.0 million. In
addition to the repayment of the outstanding principal on the PIMs, the
Partnership would receive the greater of a 9% prepayment penalty or Shared
Appreciation Interest as well as any unpaid Minimum Additional Interest and
or Shared Income Interest. If these sales take place, the Partnership will
distribute the capital transaction proceeds from these prepayments to
investors through special distributions. The General Partners will be
reviewing the anticipated cash flows from the remaining investments to
determine whether the current distribution rate will be sustainable or if
an adjustment is necessary. If the General Partners determine the
distribution rates needs to be adjusted, the timing of the adjustment will
depend on when these PIMs prepay.

Many of the other properties in the portfolio had solid performances during
1996. Average occupancy at most of the properties exceeded 90%, and
moderate increases in market rental rates were achieved at many of the
properties. Ten properties generated sufficient operating cash to reach
the threshold for payment of participation interest to the Partnership
during 1996.

Two other properties experienced operating difficulties over the past year,
primarily due to the age of the assets and the challenges of a competitive
market. Remington Place Apartments incurred an operating deficit under its
workout plan during 1996 which was funded by advances from the borrower.
The deficit was caused in large part by increased expenses necessary to
operate the aging building and high turnover costs associated with leasing
older apartments. The Fort Washington, Maryland market is very
competitive, and residents value modern amenities. If cosmetic
improvements are not undertaken at the property, it is likely that
occupancy and rental rates will suffer. The Partnership and the borrower
are discussing a new workout plan which would bring new owner equity into
the property to complete some improvements in exchange for continued debt
service relief and a change in the participation features of the loan.
Rock Creek Springs, located in Silver Spring, Maryland, faced a very
similar situation. However, the borrower of the Rock Creek Springs PIM
defaulted on its debt service obligation during the third quarter of 1996.
FNMA, the guarantor of the MBS secured by the PIM, has been unable to
negotiate a workout plan with the borrower and exercised its option to
payoff the MBS in February 1997 and pursue a foreclosure.

For the first five years of the PIMs the borrowers are prohibited from
repaying.

For the second five years, the borrower can repay the loans incurring a
prepayment penalty. The Partnership has the option to call certain PIMs by
accelerating their maturity, if the loans are not prepaid by the tenth year
after permanent funding. The Partnership will determine the merits of
exercising the call option for each PIM as economic conditions warrant.
Such factors as the condition of the asset, local market conditions,
interest rates and available financing will have an impact on this
decision.

Assessment of Credit Risk

The Partnership's investments in mortgages are guaranteed or insured by the
Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"), the Government National
Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
("FHLMC") and the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") and
therefore the certainty of their cash flows and the risk of material loss
of the amounts invested depends on the creditworthiness of these entities.

FNMA is a federally chartered private corporation that guarantees
obligations originated under its programs. FHLMC is a federally chartered
corporation that guarantees obligations originated under its programs and
is wholly-owned by the twelve Federal Home Loan Banks. These obligations
are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government or the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board. GNMA guarantees the full and timely payment of principal and basic
interest on the securities it issues, which represent interests in pooled
mortgages insured by HUD. Obligations insured by HUD, an agency of the
U.S. Government, are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
Government.

Distributable Cash Flow and Net Cash Proceeds from Capital Transactions

Shown below is the calculation of Distributable Cash Flow and Net Cash
Proceeds from Capital Transactions as defined in Section 17 of the
Partnership Agreement and the source of cash distributions for the year
ended December 31, 1996 and the period from inception through December 31,
1996. The General Partners provide certain of the information below to
meet requirements of the Partnership Agreement and because they believe
that it is an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance.
However, Distributable Cash Flow and Net Cash Proceeds from Capital
Transactions should not be considered by the reader as a substitute to net
income as an indicator of the Partnership's operating performance or to
cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

Operations

during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.

Amortization of prepaid fees and
expenses (3,013) (1,983) (1,982)

Net income $11,372 $13,270 $13,039

Net income decreased during 1996 as compared to 1995 by approximately
$1,898,000 due primarily to a reduction in base interest in PIMS as a
result of the prepayments of the Water View and Tarnhill Apartments PIMs
and interest rate reductions on the Crosscreek Apartments and Remington
Place Apartments. Interest income on MBS decreased $280,000 in 1996 as
compared to 1995, because principal collections reduced the outstanding
principal balance of the Partnership s MBS investments. These items were
offset by an increase in participation income of $499,000 which was
primarily the result of receiving shared appreciation income from the
prepayment of the Tarnhill Apartments PIM of $983,000, net of a decrease in
shared income and minimal additional interest recorded in 1996 as compared
to 1995 of $484,000. Other interest income increased in 1996 as compared
to 1995 due to the short-term investment of the proceeds from the
prepayments until such funds were ultimately distributed to the investors.
Amortization expense increased for 1996 as compared to 1995 because the
Partnership fully amortized the remaining balances of prepaid fees and
expenses associated with the Water View and Tarnhill Apartments PIM.
Partnership expenses have decreased during each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1996, due primarily to lower asset management
fees, expense reimbursements to affiliates, and general and administrative
expenses.

Net income increased slightly during 1995 as compared to 1994 due
primarily to an increase in participation income and lower expense
reimbursements to affiliates.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Partners of
Krupp Insured Mortgage Limited Partnership:

We have audited the financial statements and the financial statement
schedule of Krupp Insured Mortgage Limited Partnership (the "Partnership")
listed in the index on page F-2 of this Form 10-K. These financial
statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the
General Partners of the Partnership. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule
based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by the General Partners of
the Partnership, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Krupp Insured
Mortgage Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the financial
statement schedule referred to above, when considered in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information required to be included therein.

KRUPP INSURED MORTGAGE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A. Organization

Krupp Insured Mortgage Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was
formed on March 21, 1988 by filing a Certificate of Limited
Partnership in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Partnership
issued all of the General Partner Interests to two General Partners
in exchange for capital contributions aggregating $3,000. Krupp
Plus Corporation and Mortgage Services Partners Limited Partnership
are the General Partners of the Partnership and Krupp Depositary
Corporation is the Corporate Limited Partner. Except under certain
limited circumstances upon termination of the Partnership, the
General Partners are not required to make any additional capital
contributions. The Partnership terminates on December 31, 2028,
unless terminated earlier upon the occurrence of certain events as
set forth in the Partnership Agreement.

The Partnership commenced the public offering of Units on July 22,
1988 and completed its public offering on May 23, 1990 having sold
14,956,796 Units for $298,678,321 net of purchase volume discounts
of $457,599.

B. Significant Accounting Policies

The Partnership uses the following accounting policies for financial
reporting purposes, which may differ in certain respects from those
used for federal income tax purposes (see Note G):

PIMs

The Partnership carries its investments in PIMs at amortized
cost as it has the ability and intention to hold these
investments. Basic interest is recognized based on the
stated rate of the Department of Housing and Urban
Development ("HUD") insured mortgage (less the servicer's
fee) or the stated coupon rate of the Government National
Mortgage Association ("GNMA") or Federal National Mortgage
Association ("FNMA") MBS. The Trust recognizes interest
related to the participation features as earned and when it
deems these amounts collectible.

MBS

At December 31, 1995, the Partnership in accordance with the
Financial Accounting Standards Board s Special Report on
Statement 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities", reclassified its MBS portfolio from
held-to-maturity to available-for-sale. The Partnership
carries its MBS at fair market value and reflects any
unrealized gains (losses) as a separate component of
Partners' Equity. Prior to December 31, 1995, the
Partnership carried its MBS portfolio at amortized cost. The
Partnership amortizes purchase premiums or discounts over the
life of the underlying mortgages using the effective interest
method.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Partnership includes all short-term investments with
maturities of three months or less from the date of
acquisition in cash and cash equivalents. The Partnership
invests its cash primarily in deposits and money market funds
with a commercial bank and has not experienced any loss to
date on its invested cash.

Prepaid Fees and Expenses

Prepaid fees and expenses represent prepaid acquisition fees,
expenses and prepaid participation servicing fees paid for
the acquisition and servicing of PIMs. The Partnership
amortizes prepaid acquisition fees and expenses using a
method that approximates the effective interest method over a
period of ten to twelve years, which represents the actual
maturity or anticipated call date of the underlying mortgage.
Acquisition expenses incurred on potential acquisitions which
were not consummated were charged to operations.

The Partnership amortizes prepaid participation servicing
fees using a method that approximates the effective interest
method over a ten-year period beginning at final endorsement
of the loan if a Department of Housing and Urban Development
("HUD") loan and at closing if a FNMA loan.

Income Taxes

The Partnership is not liable for federal or state income
taxes as Partnership income is allocated to the partners for
income tax purposes. In the event that the Partnership's tax
returns are examined by the Internal Revenue Service or state
taxing authority and the examination results in a change in
Partnership taxable income, such change will be reported to
the partners.

Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amount of assets and liabilities, contingent assets and
liabilities and revenues and expenses during the period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

C. PIMs

The Partnership has investments in 20 PIMs. The Partnership's PIMs
consist of (a) a GNMA or FNMA MBS representing the securitized first
mortgage loan on the underlying property or a sole participation
interest in the mortgage loan originated under HUD's FHA lending
program (collectively the "insured mortgages"), and (b)
participation interests in the revenue stream and appreciation of
the underlying property above specified base levels. The borrower
conveys these participation features to the Partnership generally
through a subordinated promissory note and mortgage (the
"Agreement").

The Partnership receives guaranteed monthly payments of principal
and interest on the GNMA and FNMA MBS, and HUD insures the FHA
mortgage loan and the mortgage loan underlying the GNMA MBS. The
borrower usually cannot prepay the first mortgage loan during the
first five years and may prepay the first mortgage loan thereafter
subject to a 9% prepayment penalty in years six through nine, a 1%
prepayment penalty in year ten and no prepayment penalty thereafter.
The Partnership may receive interest related to its participation
interests in the underlying property, however, these amounts are
neither insured nor guaranteed.

Generally, the participation features consist of the following: (i)
"Minimum Additional Interest" which is at the rate of .5% per annum
calculated on the unpaid principal balance of the first mortgage on
the underlying property, (ii) "Shared Income Interest" which is 25%
of the monthly gross rental income generated by the underlying
property in excess of a specified base, but only to the extent that
it exceeds the amount of Minimum Additional Interest earned during
such month, (iii) "Shared Appreciation Interest" which is 25% of
any increase in the value of the underlying property in excess of a
specified base. Payment of participation interest from the
operations of the property is limited in any year to 50% of net
revenue or surplus cash as defined by FNMA or HUD, respectively.
The aggregate amount of Minimum Additional Interest, Shared Income
Interest and Shared Appreciation Interest payable by the underlying
borrower on the maturity date generally cannot exceed 50% of any
increase in value of the property. However, generally any net
proceeds from the sale or refinancing of the property will be
available to satisfy any accrued but unpaid Shared Income or Minimum
Additional Interest.

Shared Appreciation Interest is payable when one of the following
occurs: (1) the sale of the underlying property to an unrelated
third party on a date which is later than five years from the date
of the Agreement, (2) the maturity date or accelerated maturity date
of the Agreement, or (3) prepayment of amounts due under the
Agreement and the insured mortgage.

Under the Agreement, the Partnership, upon giving twelve months
written notice, can accelerate the maturity date of the Agreement to
a date not earlier than ten years from the date of the Agreement for
(a) the payment of all participation interest due under the
Agreement as of the accelerated maturity date, or (b) the payment of
all participation interest due under the Agreement plus all amounts
due on the first mortgage note on the property.

On February 16, 1996, the Partnership received a prepayment of the
Water View Apartments PIM. The Partnership received the outstanding
principal balance of $16,651,149 plus outstanding interest. The
Partnership did not receive any prepayment penalty or participation
income from this PIM. During 1995, the operating performance of
Water View Apartments declined due to insufficient levels of
occupancy and higher maintenance and repair expenses due to
vandalism. As a result, the borrower went into default on the
underlying loan. Normally, a loan like this would eventually be
recovered through an insurance claim process. However, the
Partnership was able to receive its insured proceeds on this loan
earlier than anticipated due to Bear Stearn s assumption of the
underlying insured mortgage. As a result of the prepayment, the
Partnership fully amortized the remaining prepaid fees and expenses
associated with this PIM.

On February 29, 1996, the Partnership received a prepayment of the
Tarnhill PIM. The Partnership received the outstanding principal
balance of $7,483,000, Shared Appreciation Interest of $982,845 and
Minimum Additional and Shared Income Interest of $223,728. As a
result of the prepayment, the Partnership fully amortized the
remaining prepaid fees and expenses associated with this PIM.

The Partnership's PIMs consisted of the following at December 31, 1996
and 1995:


Aggregate Permanent Maturity
Original Number Interest Date Investment Basis
Issuer Principal of PIMs Rate Range Range at December 31,
1996 1995

$171,796,947 20 $164,942,921 $190,325,305

(a) Includes three PIMs - Richmond Park, Saratoga, and Marina Shores -
in which the Partnership holds 38%, 50% and 29% of the total PIM,
respectively. The remaining portion is held by an affiliate of the
Partnership.

(b) The Partnership had twelve GNMA PIMs as of December 31, 1995.
During February 1996, the Partnership received payoffs of the Water
View and Tarnhill Apartments PIMs.

The underlying mortgages of the PIMs are collateralized by multi-family
apartment complexes located in 13 states. The apartment complexes range in
size from 92 to 736 units.

D. MBS

At December 31, 1996, the Partnership's MBS portfolio has an amortized
cost of $16,931,538 and gross unrealized gains and losses of $566,669
and $139,900, respectively. At December 31, 1995, the Partnership's MBS
portfolio has an amortized cost of $20,230,995 and gross unrealized
gains of $895,050. The MBS portfolio has maturity dates ranging from
1999 to 2024.

E. Partners' Equity

Profits from Partnership operations and Distributable Cash Flow are
allocated 97% to the Unitholders and Corporate Limited Partner (the
"Limited Partners") and 3% to the General Partners.

Upon the occurrence of a capital transaction, as defined in the
Partnership Agreement, net cash proceeds and profits from the capital
transaction will be distributed first, to the Limited Partners until
they have received a return of their total invested capital, second, to
the General Partners until they have received a return of their total
invested capital, third, 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the
General Partners until the Limited Partners receive an amount equal to
any deficiency in the 11% cumulative return on their invested capital that
exists through fiscal years prior
to the date of the capital transaction, fourth, to the class of General
Partners until they have received an amount equal to 4% of all amounts
of cash distributed under all capital transactions and fifth, 96% to the
Limited Partners and 4% to the General Partners. Losses from a capital
transaction will be allocated 97% to the Limited Partners and 3% to the
General Partners.

As of December 31, 1996, the following cumulative partner contributions
and allocations have been made since inception of the Partnership:

December 31, 1996 $195,563,403 $ 1,373 $ (254,541) $ 426,769 $195,737,004

F. Related Party Transactions

Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the General
Partners or their affiliates receive an Asset Management Fee
equal to .75% per annum of the value of the Partnership's
invested assets payable quarterly. The General Partners may
also receive an incentive management fee in an amount equal
to .3% per annum on the Partnership's Total Invested Assets
providing the Unitholders receive a specified non-cumulative
annual return on their Invested Capital. Total fees payable
to the General Partners as asset management or incentive
management fees shall not exceed 9.05% of distributable cash
flow over the life of the Partnership.

Additionally, the Partnership reimburses affiliates of the
General Partners for certain expenses incurred in connection
with maintaining the books and records of the Partnership and
the preparation and mailing of financial reports, tax
information and other communications to investors.

G. Federal Income Taxes

The reconciliation of the net income reported in the
accompanying statement of income with the income reported in
the Partnership's 1996 federal income tax return is as
follows:


Net income per statement of income $11,372,365

Book to tax difference for timing of PIM
income 62,832

Book to tax difference for amortization of
prepaid expenses and fees (60,209)

Net income for federal income tax purposes $11,374,988


The allocation of the 1996 net income for federal income tax purposes
is as follows:

Portfolio
Income

Unitholders $11,033,665
Corporate Limited Partner 74
General Partners 341,249

$11,374,988

For the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 the average
per unit income to the Unitholders for federal income tax
purposes was $.76, $.93 and $.91, respectively.

H. Fair Value Disclosure of Financial Instruments

The Partnership uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate
the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents

The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short
maturity of those instruments.

MBS

The Partnership estimates the fair value of MBS based on quoted
market prices.

PIMs

There is no established trading market for these investments.
Management estimates the fair value of the PIMs using quoted market
prices of MBS having the same stated coupon rate. Management does
not include any participation income in the Partnership s estimated
fair value arising from appreciation of the properties, because
Management does not believe it can predict the time of realization
of the feature with any certainty. Based on the estimated fair
value determined using these methods and assumptions, the Trust's
investments in PIMs had gross unrealized gains and losses of
approximately $1,506,000 and $372,000, respectively at December 31,
1996, respectively, and gross unrealized gains of approximately
$5,245,000 at December 31, 1995.

At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the estimated fair values of the
Partnership's financial instruments are as follows:


(Amounts in thousands)
1996 1995


Cash and cash equivalents $ 6,057 $ 5,971

MBS 17,358 21,126

PIMs 166,077 195,570

$189,492 $222,667

I. Subsequent Events

On February 25, 1997, the Partnership received a repayment of the Rock
Creek Apartments PIM. The Partnership received the outstanding
principal balance of $11,139,968 plus outstanding interest. The
Partnership did not receive any prepayment penalty or participation
income from this PIM.

Total $171,796,947 $164,942,921 $164,942,921

(a) The Participating Insured Mortgages ("PIMs") consist of either a
mortgage-backed security ("MBS") issued and guaranteed by the Federal
National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"), an MBS issued and guaranteed
by the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") or a sole
participation interest in a first mortgage loan insured by the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") and a
subordinated promissory note and mortgage or shared income and
appreciation agreement with the underlying Borrower that conveys
participation interests in the revenue stream and appreciation of the
underlying property above certain specified base levels.

(b) Represents the permanent interest rate of the GNMA or FNMA MBS or the
HUD-insured first mortgage less the servicers fee. The Partnership
may also receive additional interest which consists of (I) Minimum
Additional Interest based on a percentage of the unpaid principal
balance of the first mortgage on the property, (ii) Shared Income
Interest based on a percentage of monthly gross income generated by
the underlying property in excess of a specified base amount (but only
to the extent it exceeds the amount of Minimum Additional Interest
received during such month), (iii) Shared Appreciation Interest based
on a percentage of any increase in the value of the underlying
property in excess of a specified base value.

(c) Minimum additional interest is at a rate of .5% per annum calculated
on the unpaid principal balance of the first mortgage note.

(d) Minimum additional interest is at a rate of 1% per annum calculated on
the unpaid principal balance of the first mortgage note.

(e) Minimum additional interest is at a rate of .75% per annum calculated
on the unpaid principal balance of the first mortgage note.

(f) Shared income interest is based on 25% of monthly gross rental income
over a specified base amount.

(g) Shared appreciation interest is based on 25% of any increase in the
value of the project over the specified base value.

(h) Shared income interest is based on 30% of monthly gross rental income
over a specified base amount.

(i) Shared appreciation interest is based on 30% of any increase in the
value of the project over the specified base value.

(j) Shared income interest is based on 35% of monthly gross rental income
over a specified base amount and shared appreciation interest is based
on 35% of any increase in the value of the project over the specified
base value.

(k) The Partnership's GNMA MBS and HUD direct mortgages have call
provisions, which allow the Partnership to accelerate their respective
maturity date.

(l) The normal monthly payment consisting of principal and interest is
payable monthly at level amounts over the term of the GNMA MBS and the
HUD direct mortgages.

(m) PIMs generally may not be prepaid during the first five years and may
be prepaid subject to a 9% prepayment penalty in years six through
nine, a 1% prepayment penalty in year ten and no prepayment penalty
after year ten.

(n) The normal monthly payment consisting of principal and interest for a
FNMA PIM is payable at level amounts based on a 35-year amortization.
All unpaid principal and accrued interest is due at the end of year
ten.

(o) The Partnership agreed to reduce the permanent loan rate to 5.75% per
annum effective March 1, 1992, with periodic increases in the interest
rate through March 1, 1998 when it will reach the original permanent
rate of 8.25% per annum. As consideration for this interest rate
reduction, the Partnership will receive 25% of the available net cash
flow, will increase the Shared Appreciation Interest rate from 30% to
50% and will decrease the base value used for this calculation from
$10,615,000 to $9,650,000. Previously, Minimum Additional Interest
was at a rate of .5% per annum and Shared Income Interest was based on
30% gross rental income over a specified base amount.

(p) The Partnership agreed to reduce the permanent loan rate to 6.75% per
annum from January 1, 1994 through December 31, 1995, with an increase
then to 7.0% per annum beginning January 1, 1996 through December 31,
1996 and thereafter 7.5% per annum until maturity. This
was done in exchange for a lower Shared Appreciation base value of
$13,200,000 from $15,450,000 and an obligation from the borrower to
repay the interest not paid under the interest rate reduction upon the
sale of the property or the maturity or prepayment of subordinated
promissory note.

(q) The approximate principal balance due at maturity for each PIM,
respectively, is as follows:

PIM Amount

Bell Station Apartments $ 4,897,000
Brookside Apartments $ 4,527,000
Deering Place Apartments $ 3,534,000
Hampton Ridge Apartments $ 8,870,000
The Patrician $ 7,822,000
Rock Creek Apartments $10,738,000
Salishan Apartments $14,546,000
Silver Springs Apartments $ 7,049,000
The Enclave Apartments $ 8,500,000

(r) The aggregate cost of PIMs for federal income tax purposes is
$164,942,921.

A reconciliation of the carrying value of PIMs for each of the three years
