Results of Operations
At September 30, 2001 the Partnership owned Las Brisas
Apartments, a 376-unit apartment community located at 2010
South Clark Street, Abilene, Taylor County, Texas 79606. The
Partnership purchased a fee simple interest in Las Brisas
Apartments on July 30, 1986. The property contains
approximately 312,532 net rentable square feet, one
clubhouse, and five laundry facilities located on
approximately 19.11 acres of land.

THIRD QUARTER 2001 COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER 2000

Revenue from property operations increased $7,712, or  2.47%
for  the  third quarter of 2001, as compared  to  the  third
quarter of 2000.  Increased occupancy to 93.6% in the  third
quarter  of  2001  from 94.0% in the third quarter  of  2000
accounted  for the increase in rental income  of  $7,229  or
2.45%.  Other property income increased $483 or 2.80% mainly
due  to  increased  fee collections.   The  following  table
illustrates the components:

(Decrease)


Property operating expenses: decreased by $81,274 or  23.54%
for  the third quarter of 2001 compared to the third quarter
of  2000  due  primarily  to decreases  in  maintenance  and
repairs.   Maintenance  and  repairs  decreased  $94,888  or
169.55%  due to the exterior building maintenance  preformed
in  2000.  Utilities increased $5,309 or 14.25%, due to  gas
cost   increases.    General  and  administrative   expenses
decreased  $3,903 or 31.59% mainly due to decreased  mailing
costs   and  decreased  credit-reporting  costs.   Insurance
decreased  $795  or  11.88% with the annual  policy  renewal
Contract  services  increased  $10,880  or  152.30%  due  to
increased  lawn  care  and grounds maintenance  costs.   The

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      On  July  31, 1986 the Partnership purchased  the  Las

receive  cash  at  closing and notes totaling  $660,000.  On
September  30,  1987  the  principal  balance  due   totaled

Units  of  the Partnership to two investors at the price  of
$200,660.  No  commissions were taken nor  did  the  General
Partner receive any fees in connection with these interests.
The  Partnership  then obtained short  term  financing  from
Resource  Savings  Association  totaling  $260,000,  bearing
interest  at the rate of 2% over prime and payable quarterly
together  with principal payments of $15,000 each.  Security
for  the  loan  was  provided by a $100,000  certificate  of
deposit  and  the  personal guaranties of the  Partnership's
General  Partners.  The  Resource Savings  Association  loan
matured December 31,1983. In September, 1991 Mr. Werra  paid
$40,750  in  satisfaction of his personal  guaranty  of  the
Partnership loan.

      The  Partnership defaulted in its debt obligations  in
August,  1988. The Partnership was forced to seek protection
under  Chapter  11 of the United States Bankruptcy  Code  in
December,  1988 when negotiations with Aetna Life  Insurance
Company,  ("Aetna") the holder of the two  underlying  first
mortgage  notes and Las Brisas Apartments, Ltd. and  Abilene
Associates,  Ltd., the holders of respective  wrap  mortgage
notes ("Wrap Note Holders") failed to provide any relief.

      The  Partnership emerged from bankruptcy  on  May  15,
1990, having negotiated a modification of its debt with  its
major   creditors.  In  June,  1989  an  affiliate  of   the
individual General Partner provided $401,910.77 to bring the
Aetna  notes current. At the same time the Wrap Note Holders
agreed  to reduce the payments due on their respective  wrap
notes in order to mirror the payments made on the underlying
Aetna  notes.  The term of each wrap note will  be  extended
from  July  31,  1995  to  July 1, 2002  and  July  1,  2007
respectively.  The  $401,910.77 note  is  collateralized  by
junior  mortgage on the property. In addition, the affiliate
has the option to purchase the wrap notes for $85,000 at any
time  prior  to the respective maturity dates  of  the  wrap
notes.

      Commencing  on  July  1,1992, payments  on  the  notes
reverted  to  the original amounts of $19,442  and  $15,454.
During the prior two years the Partnership deferred $214,460
in  debit  service  payments.   The  modification  gave  the
Partnership  room  to  deal with the  economic  difficulties
experienced in the market at the time.

      In  February, 1991, Amrecorp Realty Inc., resigned  as
the  Managing  General Partner of the  Partnership.  As  was
communicated to all limited partners, this step was taken in
order  to  minimize  any  effect that  Amrecorp's  financial
difficulties might have on the partnership. Univesco,  Inc.,
a  Texas  corporation,  Robert J.  Werra,  and  CEO  perform
management of the Partnership's assets.

      On  November  12, 1993 the Partnership refinanced  the
properties  secured debt with an 8.15%, ten  year,  mortgage
loan   from  Lexington  Mortgage  Company.   The  $3,250,000
mortgage  loan  provides for monthly  payments  of  $25,408.
based  on an amortized schedule of 300 months with  a  final
payment  of  the  entire  remaining  principal  balance   in
December, 2003. The proceeds of this new loan were  used  to
pay  off the $2,500,000 and $2,300,000 mortgage notes, which
previously held the first mortgage position. The  old  first
mortgagee  provided a discount of approximately ten  percent
of  the outstanding principal balances of two old notes. The
balance   of   funds  needed  to  retire   the   old   notes
(approximately $100,000) was provided by Robert J. Werra. In
addition  Robert  J.  Werra  exercised  his  option  in  the
property's  wrap  mortgage notes. The new lender  prohibited
subordinate  debt. To meet this requirement the  subordinate
debt  held  by Mr. Werra was converted to a class of  equity
with  the same terms and conditions as it possessed as debt.
The  wrap  mortgage lender would not agree to the change  in
status so Mr. Werra paid $85,000 to complete his purchase of
the  wrap  notes  and now holds an equity  position  in  the
partnership as a Special Limited partner.

      The  partnership agreement was amended by vote of  the
limited  partners  to  include  the  appointment  of  a  new
corporate  general partner, LBAL, Inc., a Texas  corporation
wholly owned by Robert J. Werra.

     While  it is the General Partners primary intention  to
operate and manage the existing real estate investment,  the
General  Partner also continually evaluates this  investment
in  light  of  current  economic conditions  and  trends  to
determine  if this asset should be considered for  disposal.
At  this  time,  there is no plan to dispose of  Las  Brisas
Apartments.

     As  of  September 30, 2001, the Partnership had $41,047
in  cash and cash equivalents as compared to $12,904  as  of
December  31, 2000. The net increase in cash of $28,143  was
due to cash flow from operations.

     The  property is encumbered by a non-recourse  mortgage
with  a principal balance of $2,819,538 as of September  30,
2001.   The mortgage payable bears interest at 8.15% and  is
payable  in  monthly installments of principal and  interest
until December 2003 when a lump-sum payment of approximately
$2,642,000  is  due.  The required principal reductions  for
the  three  years  ending December 31,  2003,  are  $73,363,
$79,571, and $2,721,064 respectively.

     For the foreseeable future, the Partnership anticipates
that mortgage principal payments (excluding balloon mortgage
payments),  improvements and capital  expenditures  will  be
funded  by  net cash from operations. The primary source  of
capital  to fund future Partnership acquisitions and balloon
mortgage  payments  will be proceeds from the sale financing
or refinancing of the Property.

     The $1,145,231 in Special Limited Partner equity is the
result of previous funding for operating deficits and  other
partner  loans made to the Partnership by a related  entity.
These  loans were reclassified to equity during  1993.   The
Special Limited Partner has first right to all net operating
cash flows and net proceeds from disposals of assets to  the
extent   of   the  Special  Limited  Partners   distribution
preference.  During 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Special Limited
Partner received distributions from the Partnership totaling
$95,000, $0, and $265,000 respectively.
