pro rata share of income or loss individually.

Reference is made to the Registrant's annual report for the year ended
December 31, 2003, for a description of other accounting principles and
additional details for the Registrant's financial condition, results of
operations, changes in partners' capital and statement of cash flows for
the year then ended. The details provided in the notes thereto have not
changed as a result of normal transactions in the interim.

2 - Subsequent Events

On April 10, 2004, the Registrant made a distribution to its partners in
the amount of $564,022.80, or $3.30 per unit, based on 170,916 units
outstanding as of March 31, 2004.
