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

Results of Operations
At March 31, 2003 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 92.8% during the first
quarter of 2003 as compared to 89.3% for the first quarter
of 2002.

FIRST QUARTER 2003 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 2002

Revenue  from  property  operations  increased  $19,675,  or
6.29%,  for  the first quarter of 2003, as compared  to  the
first  quarter of 2002.  Increased occupancy  in  the  first
quarter of 2003 accounted for the increase in rental  income
of $29,320 or 9.92%.  Other property income decreased $9,645
or  55.85%  mainly  due to decreased fee collections.    The
following table illustrates the components:

                            Three Month Comparison

                            Increase       Percent
                           (Decrease)      Change

Rental income                29,320         9.92%
Other property               (9,645)       55.85%
Net Increase (Decrease)      19,675         6.29%


Property operating expenses: increased by $40,726 or  11.79%
for  the first quarter of 2003 compared to the first quarter
of   2002  due  primarily  to  increased  insurance   costs.
Insurance increased $4,593 or 68.65% due to higher  premiums
and  a  new  flood insurance policy as required by  the  new
lender.   Contract service increased $3,404 or 47.65% due to
higher  cable rates for the property.  Maintenance & repairs
increased  $14,199  or  25.37% due  to  roof  and  carpentry
repairs.   Utilities increased $9,397 or 25.22% from  higher
natural  gas  costs.  The following  table  illustrates  the
components:

                            Increase       Percent
                           (Decrease)      Change

Property management fees       986          6.05%
Net Increase (Decrease)     40,726         11.79%










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:

                               Increase       Percent
                              (Decrease)      Change

Net Increase (Decrease)        (1,194)         0.38%
(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:

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
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
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  March 31, 2003, the Partnership had  $6,995  in
cash  and  cash  equivalents as compared to  $23,824  as  of
December  31, 2002. The net decrease in cash of $16,829  was
due to distributions to the special limited partner.

     The  property is encumbered by a non-recourse  mortgage
with a principal balance of $4,034,415 as of March 31, 2003.
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 $3,418,117.

     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  special  limited partner distribution  preference
arises  from  a preferred return on certain special  limited
partnership contributions made in prior years in conjunction
with the refinancing of the mortgage debt.  The total unpaid
amount due to the special limited partners at March 31, 2003
is   approximately  $2,089,000  of  which  $816,000  is  the
remaining  distribution preference  and  $1,273,000  is  the
original  contribution.  Any additional available cash  will
then  be  distributed  in accordance  with  the  partnership
agreement.   During 2003, 2002, and 2001,  distributions  of
$70,000, $523,560, and $985,408, respectively, were made  to
the   special  limited  partners  in  accordance  with  this
agreement.
