                                       - 14 -                                         

             $2,607,474.  By applying the discount of 51 percent                      
             identified in the case of IDS Balcor, Mr. Siwicki computed               
             $1,277,662 as the value of the subject limited partnership               
             interest using the net asset value approach (i.e.,                       
             $2,607,474 x .49).                                                       
                  Mr. Siwicki combined the values he computed under the               
             two approaches by weighting the capitalization approach by               
             75 percent and the net asset value approach by 25 percent.               
             Mr. Siwicki felt a 3-to-1 ratio adequately emphasized the                
             fact that the capitalization approach was the more                       
             important approach for this partnership interest.  This                  
             resulted in a value of the subject limited partnership                   
             interest of $1,495,136.                                                  
                  Mr. Siwicki then applied a 35-percent discount to the               
             above value to account for the lack of marketability of the              
             subject limited partnership interest.  He reviewed various               
             market studies on illiquid securities to arrive at the                   
             amount of this discount.  In particular, he relied on a                  
             study by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that               
             compared sales between 1966 and 1969 of the restricted                   
             stock of companies that also had freely tradable, publicly               
             traded counterparts.
