Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(1) ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SB Partners, a New York limited partnership, and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Partnership"), have been engaged since April 1971 in acquiring, operating, and holding for investment a varying portfolio of real estate interests.  SB Partners Real Estate Corporation (the "General Partner") serves as the general partner of the Partnership.

The consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, the information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Partnership’s latest annual report on Form 10-K.

The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.  For a discussion of the significant accounting and financial reporting policies of the Partnership, refer to the Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

ITEM 2.                                            MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 AND 2006

General

  The consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, reflect the operations of  one residential garden apartment property, Le Coeur du Monde which was sold on April 24, 2007, an industrial flex property and two warehouse distribution centers.   The consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 reflect the same composition as 2007, with the inclusion of Holiday Park Apartments and Halton Place Apartments which were sold on May 2, 2006 and December 20, 2006,  respectively, and except for 175 Ambassador Drive, a warehouse distribution property purchased on November 28, 2006.

Results of Operations

Total revenues from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased $493,000 to approximately $1,234,000 from approximately $741,000.  Income from continuing operations increased $129,000 to approximately $156,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to approximately $27,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006.  Income from discontinued operations including gain on sale of investment in real estate property for the three months ended June 30, 2007, decreased by $9,521,000 to approximately $2,413,000 from an approximate income of $11,934,000 for the same period in 2006.  Total expenses from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2007, increased approximately $365,000 to approximately $1,077,000 from $712,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007.

         Total revenues from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007,  increased approximately $882,000 to approximately $2,305,000 from approximately $1,423,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Income from continuing operations increased approximately $297,000 to $229,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, from a loss of approximately $68,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.  Income from discontinued operations including gain on sale of investment in real estate property for the six months ended June 30, 2007, decreased approximately $9,613,000 to approximately $2,466,000 from $12,079,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

    The changes in revenues, expenses and net income and loss are primarily the result of the changes from 2006 to 2007 in the composition of the portfolio.  For additional analysis, please refer to the discussions of the individual properties below.

This report on Form 10-Q includes statements that constitute "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27(A) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21(E) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and that are intended to come within the safe harbor protection provided by those sections. By their nature, all forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties as further described in the Registrant’s latest annual report on Form 10-K.  Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward looking statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Registrant’s critical accounting policies are described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. There were no significant changes to such policies in 2007. There are no accounting pronouncements or interpretations that have been issued, but not yet adopted, that the Partnership believes will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2007, the Registrant had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2,140,000 in addition to approximately $10,118,000 of marketable securities. These balances are approximately $1,766,000 lower than the cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and deposits held in escrow on December 31, 2006. The sale of Le Coeur du Monde Apartments provided approximately $5,658,000 after closing costs and the retirement of the related mortgage note of $9,427,000.   The other source of cash was operating activities which provided approximately $636,000 of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2007, of which approximately $60,000 was used in discontinued operations. The Registrant invested $5,000,000 in Sentinel Omaha, LLC and paid distributions of approximately $2,714,000 to unit holders of record as of December 31, 2006.  Other uses of cash during the period included capital additions to real estate properties in continuing operations and real estate held for sale totaling approximately $185,000 and $40,000 respectively, and principal payments of approximately $70,000 and $51,000 made on mortgage notes payable in continuing operations and discontinued operations, respectively.

Total outstanding debt at June 30, 2007, consisted of approximately $17,015,000 of long-term non-recourse first mortgage notes, secured by real estate owned by the Registrant (see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).   The Registrant has no other debt except normal trade accounts payable and accrued interest on mortgage notes payable.

Inflation and changing prices during the current period did not significantly affect the markets in which the Registrant conducts its business, or the Registrant's business overall.

In March 2007, the Registrant made a distribution of $350 per unit to Unit holders of record as of December 31, 2006.  However, there is no requirement to make such distributions, nor can there be any assurance that future operations will generate cash available for distributions.

The Registrant's properties are expected to generate sufficient cash flow to cover operating, financing, capital improvement costs, and other working capital requirements of the Registrant for the foreseeable future.

Holiday Park Apartments (Holiday, Florida)

On May 2, 2006, the Registrant sold Holiday Park Apartments in Holiday, Florida, in addition to the adjacent 13.9 acres of undeveloped land, for $15,500,000 in an all cash transaction. The net proceeds from the sale were used, in part, to retire the mortgage note of approximately $3,383,000 that had been secured by the property.  The sale of Holiday Park Apartments resulted in a net gain for financial reporting purposes of approximately $11,800,000.  (Please refer to the 8-K filed May 12, 2006, in connection with this transaction.)  The gain for tax purposes will be computed using the tax basis of the asset sold, and will be different from the gain reported on the consolidated financial statements.

There was no revenue or expenses incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as a result of the sale on May 2, 2006.  Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was approximately $161,000. Net loss before sale, which includes deductions for mortgage interest expense, for the three months ended June 30, 2006, was approximately $113,000.

         There was no revenue or expenses incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as a result of the sale on May 2, 2006. Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $593,000.  Net income before gain on sale, which includes deductions for depreciation and mortgage interest expense, for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $18,000.

Halton Place Apartments (Greenville, South Carolina)

On December 20, 2006, the Registrant sold Halton Place Apartments in Greenville, South Carolina, for $12,830,000 in an all cash transaction.  The sale of Halton Place Apartments resulted in a net gain for financial reporting purposes of approximately $606,000.  (Please refer to the 8-K filed January 3, 2007, as amended on January 30, 2007, in connection with this transaction.)  The gain for tax purposes will be computed using the tax basis of the asset sold, and will be different from the gain reported on the consolidated financial statements.

There was no revenue or expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007,  as a result of the sale on December 20, 2006.  Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were approximately $432,000.  Net income for the three months, which includes deductions for depreciation and interest expense, was approximately $197,000.

There was no revenue or expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007,  as a result of the sale on December 20, 2006. Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2006, was $843,000.  Net income for the six months, which includes deductions for depreciation and interest expense, was $232,000.

On April 24, 2007, the Registrant sold Le Coeur du Monde Apartments for $16,000,000 in an all cash transaction. The net proceeds from the sale were used, in part, to retire the mortgage note of approximately $9,427,000 that had been secured by the property.  The sale of Le Coeur du Monde Apartments resulted in a net gain for financial reporting purposes of approximately $2,518,000.  (Please refer to the 8-K filed May 8, 2007, in connection with this transaction.)  The gain for tax purposes will be computed using the tax basis of the asset sold, and will be different from the gain reported on the consolidated financial statements.

Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007, decreased $380,000 to approximately $108,000 from $488,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006.  The loss before gain, which includes a deduction for mortgage interest expense, increased approximately $187,000 to $108,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to income of $79,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

         Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007, decreased $380,000 to approximately $584,000 from $964,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.  The loss before gain, which includes deductions for mortgage interest expense, increased approximately $115,000 to $55,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to income of $60,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Due to the sale of the property by the Registrant, the reporting period for Le Coeur du Monde Apartments ended on April 24, 2007. The changes in revenue and income are due substantially to the shortened reporting period.  In addition, as Le Coeur du Monde Apartments was a real estate asset held for sale as of April 1, 2006, no depreciation was charged to expense in the current period, which decreased depreciation expense $0 and $98,000, from the three and six month periods of the prior year, respectfully.

Eagle Lake Business Center IV (Maple Grove, Minnesota)

Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007, decreased approximately $2,000 to $221,000 from $223,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006.  Net income, which includes deductions for depreciation, for the three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased approximately $34,000 to $85,000 from $119,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006.  The decrease in net income was the result of additional amortization expense of approximately $25,000 as compared to three months ended June 30, 2006.

         Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007, decreased $54,000 to $392,000 from $446,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.  Net income, which includes deductions for depreciation, for the six months ended June 30, 2006, decreased $96,000 to $147,000 from $243,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.  The decrease in total revenue was primarily due to a rent concession of $50,000 in connection with the signing of a lease extension.  The decrease in net income was the result of the decrease in revenues and an increase in expenses of approximately $42,000.  Amortization expense and repairs and maintenance increased $27,000 and $9,000, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the same period in 2006.

435 Park Court (Lino Lakes, Minnesota)

Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007, increased $66,000 to $459,000 from $393,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006.  The increase in net income was primarily the result of $64,000 in retroactive expense recoveries.  Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2007, which includes deductions for interest expense and depreciation, increased approximately $51,000 to $92,000, as compared to$41,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006.  The increase in net income was the result of the increase in revenues offset by a $15,000 increase in expenses primarily due to a $9,000 increase in real estate taxes.

       Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007, increased $68,000 to $854,000 from $786,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.  The increase in net income was primarily the result of $64,000 in retroactive expense recoveries.  Net income, which includes deductions for depreciation, for the six months ended June 30, 2007, increased $99,000 to $125,000 from $26,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.  The increase in net income was the result of the increase in revenues and a $31,000 decrease in expenses.  Interest expense decreased approximately $48,000, offset by increases of $9,000 and $6,000 in real estate taxes and insurance expense, respectively.
