Settlement of Lawsuit

As previously reported, the Partnership, as a nominal defendant, the general partners of the Partnership and of affiliated public partnerships (the "Realmark Partnerships") and the officers and directors of the Corporate General Partner, as defendants, had been involved in a class action litigation at the state court level regarding the payment of fees and other management issues.

On August 29, 2001, the parties entered into a Stipulation of Settlement (the "Settlement"). On October 4, 2001, the Court issued an "Order Preliminary Approving Settlement" (the "Hearing Order") and on November 29, 2001, the Court issued an "Order and Final Judgment Approving Settlement and Awarding Fees and Expenses" and dismissing the complaints with prejudice. The Settlement provided, among other things, that all of the Realmark Partnerships' properties be disposed of. The general partners will continue to have primary authority to dispose of the Partnerships' properties. If either (i) the general partners have not sold or contracted to sell 50% of the Partnerships' properties (by value) by April 2, 2002 or (ii) the general partners have not sold or contracted to sell 100% of the Partnerships' properties by September 29, 2002, then the primary authority to dispose of the Partnerships' properties will pass to a sales agent designated by plaintiffs' counsel and approved by the Court. On October 4, 2002, the Court appointed a sales agent to work with the general partners to continue to sell the Partnerships' remaining properties.

The settlement also provided for the payment by the Partnerships of fees to the plaintiffs' attorneys. These payments, which are not calculable at this time but may be significant, are payable out of the proceeds from the sale of all of the properties owned by all of the Realmark Partnerships, following the sale of the last of these properties in each partnership. Plaintiffs' counsel will receive 15% of the amount by which the sales proceeds distributable to limited partners in each partnership exceeds the value of the limited partnership units in each partnership (based on the weighted average of the units' trading prices on the secondary market as reported by Partnership Spectrum for the period May through June 2001). In no event may the increase on which the fees are calculated exceed 100% of the market value of the units as calculated above.
