Highlight of Business Operations:

On December 1, 2008, Portsmouth and Evon, as the two general partners of

Justice, entered into a 2008 Amendment to the Limited Partnership Agreement

(the "Amendment") that provides for a change in the respective roles of the

general partners. Pursuant to the Amendment, Portsmouth will assume the role of

Managing General Partner and Evon will continue on as the Co-General Partner of

Justice. The Amendment was ratified by approximately 98% of the limited

partnership interests. The Amendment also provides that future amendments to

the Limited Partnership Agreement may be made only upon the consent of the

general partners and at least seventy five percent (75%) of the interests if

the limited partners. Consent of at least 75% of the interests of the limited

partners will also be required to remove a general partner pursuant to the

Amendment. A copy of the full text of the Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to

this Report.



Concurrent with the Amendment to the Limited Partnership Agreement, a new

General Partner Compensation Agreement (the "Compensation Agreement") was

entered into on December 1, 2008, among Justice, Portsmouth and Evon to

terminate and supersede all prior compensation agreement for the general

partners. Pursuant to the Compensation Agreement, the general partners of

Justice will be entitled to receive an amount equal to 1.5% of the gross annual

revenues of the Partnership (as defined), less $75,000 to be used as a

contribution toward the cost of Justice engaging an asset manager. In no event

shall the annual compensation be less than a minimum base of approximately

$285,000, with eighty percent (80%) of that amount being allocated to

Portsmouth for its services as managing general partner and twenty percent

(20%) allocated to Evon as the co-general partner. Compensation earned by the

general partners in each calendar year in excess of the minimum base, will be

payable in equal fifty percent (50%) shares to Portsmouth and Evon. A copy of

the full text of the Compensation Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this

Report.

On December 12, 2008, Justice obtained a modification and extension of it

unsecured revolving line of credit facility from United California Bank ("UCB")

which was to mature on February 2, 2009. The modification extends the term of

the credit facility to February 2, 2010, but reduced the limit of funds

available to the Partnership for short term capital for the Hotel's business

operations from $3,000,000 to $2,500,000. The annual interest rate is based on

an index selected by Justice at the time of advance, equal to the Wall Street

Journal Prime Rate plus 1.0%, or the LIBOR Rate plus 3.5%, with an interest

rate floor of 5% per annum. As of December 31, 2008, there was a balance of

$1,756,000 drawn by Justice under the line of credit facility, with an annual

interest rate of 5% since the selected rate of Prime (3.25% as of December 31,

2008) plus 1% was less than the floor rate.
