ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Krupp Cash Plus Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was formed on April 30, 1985 by filing a Certificate of Limited Partnership in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Krupp Corporation and The Krupp Company Limited Partnership-IV are the General Partners of the Partnership. Krupp Depositary Corporation is the Corporate Limited Partner. For details, see Note A to Financial Statements included in Item 8 (Appendix A) of this report.
On July 12, 1986 the Partnership commenced the marketing and sale of 4,000,000 units of Depositary Receipts ("Units") for a maximum offering of $80,000,000. The Partnership raised $79,934,364 from its public offering. The Partnership invested the net proceeds from the offering in a portfolio of unleveraged real estate (see Item 2

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership had unleveraged investments in three retail centers containing an aggregate of 614,410 square feet of leasable area. Additional detailed information with respect to individual properties can be found in Schedule III included in Appendix A of this report.
A summary of the Partnership's real estate investments is presented below.
There were six tenants which occupied 10% or more of their respective property's leasable space as of December 31, 1996.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
There is no public market for the Units and it is not anticipated that any such public market will develop. The transfer of Units is subject to certain limitations contained in the Partnership Agreement.
The number of Investor Limited Partners ("Unitholders") as of December 31, 1996 was approximately 5,300.
The Partnership has made the following distributions to its Partners during the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.
One of the objectives of the Partnership is to make partially tax sheltered distributions of cash flow generated by the Partnership's properties and MBS. However, there is no assurance that future operations will continue to generate sufficient cash to maintain the current level of distributions and to provide sufficient liquidity for the Partnership. The Partnership distributes approximately $.14 per Unit per quarter to its investors.

ITEM 7.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements including those concerning Management's expectations regarding the future financial performance and future events. These forward-looking statements involve significant risk and uncertainties, including those described herein. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership's ability to generate cash adequate to meet its needs is dependent primarily upon the operations of its real estate investments. Liquidity is also generated by the MBS portfolio. The Partnership's sources of future liquidity will be used for payment of expenses related to real estate operations, capital expenditures including tenant build-outs to secure quality tenants, and other administrative expenses. Cash Flow, if any, as calculated under Section 17 of the Partnership Agreement, will then be available for distribution to the Partners.
The Partnership's retail centers continue to maintain a relatively consistent level of operating results. However, to attain these results, management has found it necessary to fund a significant portion of tenant build-outs to secure quality tenants in the Partnership's retail centers.
The Partnership completed improvements at High Point National Furniture Mart ("High Point") which were necessary to reconfigure space for new tenants and comply with present building code standards. Renovations to show rooms on three floors of the building were completed during the second quarter of 1996, while renovations to the elevator system were completed in the third quarter of 1996. The refurbished show room spaces have enabled the property to command higher rents and maintain 100% occupancy.
At Tradewinds Shopping Center ("Tradewinds"), improvements to the facade were completed during the second quarter of 1996 in order to remain competitive against newer centers. Management has also negotiated the expansion of an anchor tenant in 1997 and intends to spend approximately $4,000,000 for the tenant buildout. In order to fund the expansion, the Partnership plans to utilize its cash reserves as well as any proceeds received from the possible financing of its mortgage backed securities portfolio in 1997.
At Luria's Plaza, the Partnership is planning to spend approximately $116,000 for capital improvements in 1997, most of which are designated as tenant buildouts which the General Partners believe are necessary to maintain or increase its current occupancy level.
The Partnership holds MBS that are guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"). The principal risks with respect to MBS are the credit worthiness of GNMA and FHLMC and the risk that the current value of any MBS may decline as a result of changes in market interest rates. Currently, the General Partners believe that the risk is minimal due to the fact that the Partnership has the ability to hold these securities to maturity.
In order to continue to fund the capital improvements noted above, the General Partners, on an ongoing basis, assess the current and future liquidity needs in determining the levels of working capital reserves the Partnership should maintain. Adjustments to distributions are made when appropriate to reflect such assessments. Based on current assessments, the General Partners have determined that retaining the current annualized distribution rate of $0.55 per Unit will allow the Partnership to maintain adequate reserves.
Distributable Cash Flow and Net Proceeds from Capital Transactions
Shown below is the calculation of Distributable Cash Flow and Net Proceeds from Capital Transactions as defined by Section 17 of the Partnership Agreement, and the source of cash distributions for the year ended December 31, 1996 and from the Partnership's inception through December 31, 1996. The General Partners provide information below to meet requirements of the Partnership Agreement and because they believe that it is an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance. However, Distributable Cash Flow and Net Proceeds from Capital Transactions should not be considered by the reader as a substitute to net income, as an indicator of the Partnership's operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
(a) Represents distributions paid in 1996, except the February, 1996 distribution, which relates to 1995 cash flow, and includes an estimateof the distribution to be paid in February, 1997. (b) Includes an estimate of the distribution to be paid in February, 1997. (c) Includes a $7,150,000 note which was distributed from the Partnership to the Evergreen Plaza Note-Holding Trust whose beneficiaries were the Partnership's Unitholders on record on May 31, 1990. (d) Unitholders' average per Unit return of capital as of February, 1997 is $6.23 [$14.00-$7.77].
Operations
1996 compared to 1995
Overall, Distributable Cash Flow, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, increased from 1995 to 1996, due to a decrease in capital improvement expenditures, partially offset by a decrease in net income.
The Partnership experienced a slight decrease in total revenue in 1996, as compared to 1995. Rental revenue decreased primarily due to lower tenant billings as a result of the decline in reimbursable real estate taxes at Tradewinds. MBS interest income also decreased due to repayment and prepayments of principal which occur on the MBS portfolio. These decreases are partially offset by an increase in interest income as a result of higher cash and cash equivalents available for investment in 1996.
During 1996, as compared to 1995, total expenses remained relatively stable, with increases in maintenance and general and administrative expenses, offset by decreases in real estate taxes and management fees. Maintenance expense increased due to increases in both snow removal and exterior repair expenditures as a result of adverse weather conditions in 1996. General and administrative expense rose due to increases in both audit expenditures and charges incurred in connection with the preparation and mailing of Partnership reports and other investor communications. The decrease in real estate taxes is the result of a reassessment of Tradewinds by the local taxing authority. Management fees decreased in conjunction with the decline in revenue. Depreciation expense increased as a result of capital improvement expenditures.
1995 compared to 1994
The Partnership experienced increased rental revenue during 1995 as compared to 1994. The renovations at High Point enabled the Partnership to receive higher rents from the refurbished floors. The renovated and expanded Cobb Theater, a major tenant located at Luria's Plaza, was reopened in February 1994 with six new screens. The theater expansion has attracted new tenants and enabled the center to maintain high occupancy and command higher rents and lease renewals.
MBS interest income decreased in 1995 as compared to 1994 due to lower average MBS balances in 1995 versus 1994 caused by principal repayments. Interest income on short term investments increased during this same period due to higher average cash balances.
Operating and general and administrative expenses decreased in 1995 as compared to 1994 due to management's efforts to reduce reimbursable operating costs. Also, operating expenses decreased in 1995 as compared to 1994 due to decreases in payroll and insurance expense as a result of a favorable claim history.
Real estate taxes decreased in 1995 as compared to 1994 due to refunds received for prior year's real estate taxes at Tradewinds and a decrease in the property's assessed value. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the taxes at Luria's Plaza due to an increase in the assessed value of the property following the theater expansion.
Management fees increased in 1995 as compared to 1994 due to higher rental income being generated by the three properties.
Depreciation expense increased in conjunction with the fixed asset expenditures in 1995 and 1994.
General
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of", which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, the Partnership has implemented policies and practices for assessing impairment of its real estate assets.
The investments in properties are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation unless the General Partners believe there is a material impairment in value, in which case a provision to write down investments in properties to fair value will be charged against income. At this time, the General Partners do not believe that any assets of the Partnership are materially impaired.

KRUPP CASH PLUS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A.Organization
Krupp Cash Plus Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was formed on April 30, 1985 by filing a Certificate of Limited Partnership in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Partnership issued all of the General Partner Interests to The Krupp Corporation and The Krupp Company Limited Partnership-IV in exchange for capital contributions aggregating $3,000. Except under certain limited circumstances upon termination of the Partnership, the General Partners are not required to make any additional capital contributions. The Partnership will continue to exist until December 31, 2025, unless earlier terminated upon occurrence of certain events as set forth in the Partnership Agreement.
The Partnership issued 100 Limited Partner Interests to the Corporate Limited Partner, Krupp Depositary Corporation (the "Depositary"/"Corporate Limited Partner") in exchange for a capital contribution of $2,000. The Partnership also issued an additional 4,000,000 Limited Partner Interests to the Corporate Limited Partner, who, in turn, issued Depositary Receipts ("Units") to the investors and assigned all of its rights and interest in the Limited Partner Interests (except for its $2,000 Limited Partners Interest) to the holders of Depositary Receipts ("Unitholders"). As of March 14, 1986, the Partnership completed its public offering having sold 4,000,000 Units for $79,934,364, net of purchase volume discounts of $65,636.
B.Significant Accounting Policies
The Partnership uses the following accounting policies for financial reporting purposes, which may differ in certain respects from those used for federal income tax purposes (see Note J). Risks and Uncertainties
The Partnership invests its cash primarily in deposits and money market funds with commercial banks. The Partnership has not experienced any losses to date on its invested cash.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, contingent assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Partnership includes all short-term investments with maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition in cash and cash equivalents. The cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates current market values.
Rental Revenues
Leases require the payment of base rent monthly in advance. Rental revenues are recorded on the accrual basis. Leases generally contain provisions for additional rent based on a percentage of tenant sales and other provisions which are also recorded on the accrual basis, but are billed in arrears. Minimum rental revenue for long term commercial leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease.
Leasing Commissions Leasing commissions are deferred and amortized over the life of the related lease.
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided for by the use of the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows:
Buildings and improvements 3 to 25 years Appliances, carpeting and equipment3 to 5 years
Tenant improvements are depreciated over the life of the related lease.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of", which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, the Partnership has implemented policies and practices for assessing impairment of its real estate assets.
The investments in properties are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation unless the General Partners believe there is a material impairment in value, in which case a provision to write down investments in properties to fair value will be charged against income. At this time, the General Partners do not believe that any assets of the Partnership are materially impaired.
Mortgage-Backed Securities
MBS are held for long-term investment and are carried at amortized cost. Premiums and discounts are amortized over the life of the underlying securities using the effective yield method. The market value of MBS is determined based on quoted market prices.
Income Taxes
The Partnership is not liable for federal or state income taxes as Partnership income is allocated to the Partners for income tax purposes. In the event that the Partnership's tax returns are examined by the Internal Revenue Service or state taxing authority and the examination results in a change in Partnership taxable income, such change will be reported to the Partners.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with current year financial statement presentation.
C.Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1996 and 1995 consist of the following:
At December 31, 1996, commercial paper represents corporate issues complying with Section 6.2(a) of the Partnership Agreement purchased through a corporate issuer maturing in the first quarter of 1997. At December 31, 1996, the carrying value of the Partnership's investment in commercial paper approximates fair value.
D.Mortgage-Backed Securities
The MBS held by the Partnership are issued by both the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and the Government National Mortgage Association. The following is additional information on the MBS held as of December 31, 1996 and 1995:
Coupon rates of the MBS range from 8.5% to 9.0% per annum and mature in the years 2008 through 2017. The Partnership's MBS portfolio had gross unrealized gains of approximately $143,000 and $283,500 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively and no unrealized losses. Currently, the Partnership does not expect to realize these gains as it has the ability to hold the MBS until maturity.
E.Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities
Accrued expenses and other liabilities consist of the following at December 31, 1996 and 1995:
F. Partners' Equity
Under the Partnership Agreement, profits or losses from Partnership operations and Distributable Cash Flow are allocated 98% to the Unitholders and Corporate Limited Partner (the "Limited Partners") based on Units held, and 2% to the General Partners.
