Item 2. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION



Results of Operations
At March 31, 2002 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.

FIRST QUARTER 2002 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 2001

Revenue from property operations decreased $1,194, or 0.38%,
for  the  first quarter of 2002, as compared  to  the  first
quarter of 2001.  Decreased occupancy to 89.3% in the  first
quarter  of  2002  from 93.4% in the first quarter  of  2001
accounted  for the decrease in rental income  of  $3,771  or
0.1.28%.   Other property income increased $2,577 or  14.92%
mainly  due  to  increased fee collections.   The  following
table illustrates the components:

(Decrease)


Property operating expenses: increased by $36,043 or  10.44%
for  the first quarter of 2002 compared to the first quarter
of   2001  due  primarily  to  increased  insurance   costs.
Insurance  increased $16,043 or 240% due to higher  premiums
and  a  new  flood insurance policy as required by  the  new
lender. Maintenance & repairs increased $18,074 or 32.3% due
to  parking lot repairs done in the first quarter  of  2002.
Utilities  decreased  $11,935 or 32.03%,  due  to  gas  cost
decreases.  Contract services increased $5,249 or 73.47% due
to   increased  cable  television  and  lawn   care   costs.
General  and  administrative expenses  increased  $2,920  or
23.64%  mainly  due  to  increased advertising  costs.   The
following table illustrates the components:

                                       Increase      Percent

quarter of 2000.  Decreased occupancy to 93.4% in the  first

accounted  for  the  decrease in rental income  of  $945  or
0.32%.  Other property income decreased $791 or 4.58% mainly

(Decrease)


Property  operating expenses: increased by $7,491  or  2.17%
for  the first quarter of 2001 compared to the first quarter
of  2000  due  primarily to increased utilities.   Utilities

Insurance  rose  $2,666  or 39.85% from  premium  increases.
Contract  services decreased $5,535 or 77.48% due to  reduce
lawn  care  expenses.  Insurance increased $3,647 or  54.51%
with  the annual policy renewal.  General and administrative
expenses  decreased $4,223 or 34.18% mainly due to decreased

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      On  July  31, 1986 the Partnership purchased  the  Las
Brisas Apartments. The purchase provided for the sellers  to
receive  cash  at  closing and notes totaling  $660,000.  On
September  30,  1987  the  principal  balance  due   totaled
$210,000.  In  order  to  obtain the necessary  proceeds  to
finally retire these notes the General Partners offered  254
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 reduced 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.  Management  of
the  Partnership's assets is performed by Univesco, Inc.,  a
Texas corporation, Robert J. Werra, CEO.

      On  November  12, 1993 the Partnership refinanced  the
property's  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  $415,000.
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) were 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 assets should be considered for disposal.
At  this  time,  there is no plan to dispose of  Las  Brisas
Apartments.

     As  of  March 31, 2002, the Partnership had $73,067  in
cash  and  cash  equivalents as compared to $559,647  as  of
December 31, 2001. The net decrease in cash of $486,580  was
due to distributions to the special limited partner.

     The  property is encumbered by a non-recourse  mortgage
with a principal balance of $4,084,106 as of March 31, 2002.
During  the  year  ended December 31, 2001, the  Partnership
refinanced the mortgage payable. The mortgage payable  bears
interest  at  a  rate  of 6.18% and is  payable  in  monthly
installments  of  principal and interest of $25,058  through
December  2011,  at  which  time  a  lump  sum  payment   of
approximately  $3,447,000 is due.   This  mortgage  note  is
secured by real estate with a net book value of $3,576,134.

     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 $254,823 in Special Limited Partner equity is  the
result of previous fundings 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  2002  and 2001,  the  Special  Limited
Partner received distributions from the Partnership totaling
$550,000 and $985,408, respectively.

      During the first quarter of 2002, the partnership paid
$550,000   to  the  special  limited  partner   in   partial
satisfaction  of  the  distribution preference  due  to  the
special  limited partner, following this payment, the  total
distribution preference due to the special limited  partners
is approximately $1,368,000 as of March 31, 2002.
