                                       - 40 -                                         
             respectively; and for purposes of allocating tax preference              
             items to its partners, EA 83-XII reported qualified                      
             investment income of $303,571 and $330,529, respectively,                
             and qualified investment expenses of $908,960 and $909,831,              
             respectively.                                                            
                  For depreciation purposes, EA 83-XII treated the                    
             aggregate contract price of its 51 properties, $3,901,295,               
             less the aggregate rental deficit contribution, $655,319,                
             as its aggregate basis in the real estate; viz $3,245,976.               
             EA 83-XII allocated 20 percent of that amount to land;                   
             viz $649,195, and 80 percent to buildings; viz $2,596,781.               
             EA 83-XII depreciated the latter amount on a straight-line               
             basis over 15 years and claimed depreciation of $173,119                 
             in each of the years in issue.                                           
                  For each of the years in issue, EA 83-XII was                       
             obligated under the promissory notes that it had issued                  
             to EMI to pay interest on the aggregate principal amount                 
             of the notes, $3,706,150, at the annual rate of 14.375                   
             percent.  Thus, EA 83-XII was obligated to pay interest to               
             EMI in the aggregate amount of $532,759 during each of the               
             years in issue (i.e., $3,706,150 x 14.375 percent).                      
                  EA 83-XII was also obligated under the 83 partnership               
             agreement to pay interest at the annual rate of 15 percent               
             to compensate the general partner for unsecured advances of
