Item 2. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION



Results of Operations
At September 30, 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.

The occupancy of Las Brisas averaged 96.3% during the third
quarter of 2002 as compared to 93.6% for the third quarter
of 2001.

THIRD QUARTER 2002 COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER 2001

Revenue  from  property  operations  increased  $12,551,  or
4.01%,  for  the third quarter of 2002, as compared  to  the
third  quarter of 2001.  Increased occupancy  in  the  third
quarter of 2002 accounted for the increase in rental  income
of $16,330 or 5.53%.  Other property income decreased $3,779
or  21.88%  mainly  due to decreased fee collections.    The
following table illustrates the components:

Net Increase (Decrease)    12,551      4.01%


Property operating expenses: increased by $37,726 or  10.92%
for  the third quarter of 2002 compared to the third quarter
of   2001  due  primarily  to  increased  insurance   costs.
Insurance  increased  $20,450  or  305.68%  due  to   higher
premiums and a new flood insurance policy as required by the
new lender. Maintenance & repairs increased $7,508 or 13.42%
due  to  roof  and  carpentry repairs.   Interest  increased
$5,149  or  12.23% on the increased debt after  refinancing.
Real  estate taxes increased $2,584 or 8.20% from  increased
real estate valuations. The following table illustrates  the

quarter of 2000.  Increased occupancy to 93.6% in the  third

due  to  increased  fee collections.   The  following  table
illustrates the components:

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
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  Partnerships
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  Amrecorps  financial
difficulties  might have on the partnership.  Management  of
the  Partnerships assets is performed by Univesco, Inc.,  a
Texas corporation, Robert J. Werra, CEO.

      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  $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) was provided by Robert J. Werra. In
addition  Robert  J.  Werra  exercised  his  option  in  the
propertys  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, 2002, the Partnership had $32,869
in  cash and cash equivalents as compared to $559,647 as  of
December 31, 2001. The net decrease in cash of $526,778  was
due to distributions to the special limited partner.

     The  property is encumbered by a non-recourse  mortgage
with  a principal balance of $4,059,643 as of September  30,
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 $249,823 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  2002  and 2001,  the  Special  Limited
Partner received distributions from the Partnership totaling
$555,000 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 $1,759,000 as of September 30, 2002.
