                                       PART I


ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties/3 (the "Registrant" or
"Partnership") was organized on May 23, 1984, as a limited partnership under the
California Uniform Limited Partnership Act.  On July 23, 1985, the Partnership
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the
Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 2-97664) and commenced a public offering for
sale of $200,000,000 of Units.  The Units represent equity interests in the
Partnership and entitle the holders thereof to participate in certain
allocations and distributions of the Partnership.  The sale of Units terminated
on May 15, 1987, with 383,033 units sold for $250 each, or gross proceeds of
$95,758,250 to the Partnership.  The Partnership subsequently filed a Form 8-A
Registration Statement with the SEC and registered its Units under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (File No. 0-14187).

The general partner of the Partnership is ConCap Equities, Inc. ("CEI" or the
"General Partner"), a Delaware corporation.  The principal place of business for
the Partnership and for the General Partner is One Insignia Financial Plaza,
Greenville, South Carolina  29602.

The Partnership's primary business and only industry segment is real estate
related operations.  The Partnership was formed, for the benefit of its Limited
Partners (herein so called and together with the General Partner shall be called
the "Partners"), to lend funds to ConCap Equity Partners/3, ConCap Equity
Partners/4, and ConCap Equity Partners/5 ("EP/3", "EP/4" and "EP/5",
respectively).   EP/3, EP/4 and EP/5 represent California limited
partnerships in which certain of the partners were former shareholders and
former management of Consolidated Capital Equities Corporation ("CCEC"), the
former corporate general partner of the Partnership.

Through December 31, 1994, the Partnership had made twelve (12) specific loans
against a Master Loan agreement and advanced a total of $67,300,000.  EP/3 used
$17,300,000 of the loaned funds to purchase two (2) apartment complexes and one
(1) office building.  EP/4 used $34,700,000 of the loaned funds to purchase four
(4) apartment complexes and one (1) office building, which was subsequently sold
in 1989.  EP/5 used $15,300,000 of the loaned funds to purchase two (2)
apartment complexes and two (2) office buildings. Through a series of
transactions, the Partnership has acquired all of EP/3, EP/4 and EP/5's
properties in full settlement of their liability under the Master Loan.  For a
brief description of the properties owned by the Partnership refer to Item 2 -
Description of Properties.

As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership's working capital reserves are greater
than 5% of Net Invested Capital as required by the Partnership Agreement.  See
"Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations," for a discussion of Partnership liquidity and capital
resources.  Also, see "Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,"
for the amounts of revenue and operating profit or loss generated by the
Partnership's operations for its last three years.

Prior to 1989, the Partnership had loaned $17,300,000 to EP/3, $34,700,000 to
EP/4 and $15,300,000 to EP/5, subject to non-recourse notes with participation
interests (collectively referred to as the "Master Loan"), pursuant to a Master
Loan Agreement dated February 26, 1986, between the Partnership and EP/3, EP/4
and EP/5. The Partnership secured the Master Loan with deeds of trust or
mortgages on real properties and by the assignment and pledge of promissory
notes from the partners of EP/3, EP/4 and EP/5.  In November 1994, the
Partnership entered into an agreement   with EP/3 whereby one property was
deeded in lieu of foreclosure to the Partnership and foreclosure proceedings
were instituted by the Partnership on the other asset which collateralized the
Master Loan.  The Partnership assumed a note payable of approximately $1,200,000
in exchange for full settlement of EP/3's liability under the Master Loan.
During 1992, the Partnership foreclosed on the last remaining EP/4 apartment
complex in full settlement of EP/4's liability under the Master Loan.
Previously, the Partnership foreclosed on three of EP/4's apartment complexes
and EP/4's interest in one note receivable secured by the office building sold
in 1989, and acquired EP/5's two apartment complexes and two office buildings
through a transfer of ownership in full settlement of EP/5's liability under the
Master Loan.

During 1993, the major tenant who occupied 95% of the Sutter D Office Building,
one of the three EP/3 properties collateralizing the Master Loan, did not renew
its lease and vacated the building.  EP/3 was unable to replace the tenant under
terms that were economically viable for the property and defaulted on the
approximately $2,100,000 third party mortgage debt secured by the Sutter D
Office Building. During 1994, the Sutter D Office Building serving as collateral
for the Master Loan was posted for foreclosure by the first lienholder.  This
foreclosure had no gain or loss effect to the Partnership.

In November 1994, the Partnership entered into a settlement with EP/3 whereby
the Williamsburg Manor Apartments were deeded in lieu of foreclosure to the
Partnership and foreclosure proceedings were initiated by the Partnership on the
Sandpiper I and II Apartments, the remaining properties collateralizing the
Master Loan.  The Partnership also assumed a note payable of approximately
$1,200,000 in exchange for full settlement of EP/3's liability for the Master
Loan and recognized a net loss of approximately $413,000 on the settlement of
the Master Loan at December 31, 1994.

As a result of the fact that: (1) EP/3 had no equity in the Sandpiper I & II
Apartments, considering the then        estimated fair value of the property;
(2) proceeds for repayment of the portion of the Master Loan collateralized by
the Sandpiper I & II Apartments were expected to come only from the operations
or sale of the property; and (3) EP/3 effectively abandoned control of the
Sandpiper I & II Apartments when EP/3 and the Partnership executed the
settlement agreement in November 1994, whereby EP/3 agreed to transfer to the
Partnership the full and unrestricted right to possession, management, and
control of the property and not to contest, hinder or delay a judicial
foreclosure action initiated by the Partnership, CCIP/3 deemed the Sandpiper I &
II Apartments in-substance foreclosed at November 30, 1994.  Foreclosure
proceedings were initiated in 1994 and completed in 1995.  As a result of the
transactions described above, the Master Loan was settled in full during 1994.

At December 31, 1997, the Partnership owned eight apartment complexes located in
Florida, North Carolina, Washington, Michigan, Utah and Colorado, one office
building located in Florida and one shopping center in California, which range
in age from 12 to 29 years old.  These properties are hereinafter referred to as
the "Partnership Properties".

Upon the Partnership's formation in 1984, CCEC, a Colorado corporation, was the
corporate general partner.  In 1988, through a series of transactions, Southmark
Corporation ("Southmark") acquired controlling interest in CCEC.  In December
1988, CCEC filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 11").  In 1990, as part of CCEC's reorganization plan,
CEI acquired CCEC's general partner interests in the Partnership and in 15 other
affiliated public limited partnerships (the "Affiliated Partnerships") and CEI
replaced CCEC as managing general partner in all 16 partnerships.  The selection
of CEI as the sole managing general partner was approved by a majority of the
limited partners in the Partnership and in each of the Affiliated Partnerships
pursuant to a solicitation of the Limited Partners dated August 10, 1990.  As
part of this solicitation, the Limited Partners also approved an amendment to
the Partnership Agreement to limit changes of control of the Partnership.

Prior to December 1994, all of CEI's outstanding stock was owned by GII Realty,
Inc.  In December 1994, the parent of GII Realty, Inc., entered into a
transaction (the "Insignia Transaction") in which an affiliate of Insignia
Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia") acquired an option (exercisable in whole or
in part from time to time) to purchase all of the stock of GII Realty, Inc. and,
pursuant to a partial exercise of such option, acquired 50.5% of that stock.  As
part of the Insignia Transaction, the Insignia affiliate also acquired all of
the outstanding stock of Coventry Properties, Inc., a property management
entity.  In addition, confidentiality, non-competition, and standstill
arrangements were entered into between certain of the parties.  Those
arrangements, among other things, prohibit GII Realty's former sole shareholder
from purchasing Partnership Units for a period of three years. On October 24,
1995, the Insignia affiliate exercised the remaining portion of its option to
purchase all of the remaining outstanding capital stock of GII Realty, Inc.  As
of December 31, 1997, Insignia Properties Trust, an affiliate of Insignia, owned
100% of the outstanding stock of CEI.  At December 31, 1997, Insignia Properties
L.P., an affiliate of Insignia, owned 43,220 Units of the Partnership.

During December 1997, Insignia affiliates (the "Purchaser") commenced tender
offers for limited partnership interests in ten real estate limited partnerships
(including the Partnership) in which various Insignia affiliates act as general
partner.  The Purchaser offered to purchase up to 145,000 of the outstanding
units of limited partnership interest in the Partnership, at $85 per Unit, net
to the seller in cash, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
the Offer to Purchase dated December 31, 1997 (the "Offer to Purchase") and the
related Assignment of Partnership Interest attached as Exhibits (a)(1) and
(a)(2), respectively, to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule 14D-1 originally
filed with the SEC on December 31, 1997.  Because of the existing and potential
future conflicts of interest (described in the Partnership's Statements on
Schedule 14D-9 filed with the SEC), neither the Partnership nor the Managing
General Partner expressed any opinion as to the Offer to Purchase and made no
recommendation as to whether unit holders should tender their units in
response to the Offer to Purchase.   In addition, because of these conflicts of
interest, including as a result of the Purchaser's affiliation with various
Insignia affiliates, the manner in which the Purchaser votes its limited partner
interests in the Partnership may not always be consistent with the best
interests of the other limited partners. Subsequent to December 31, 1997,
Insignia Properties, L.P. acquired an additional 47,865.5 units as a result of
the aforementioned tender offer.

A further description of the Partnership's business is included in "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of financial condition and Results of Operations"
included in "Item 7." of this Form 10-K.

The Registrant has no employees.  Management and administrative services are
performed by the General Partner and by affiliates of Insignia.  The real estate
business is highly competitive, and the Partnership is not a significant factor
in this industry.

The Registrant's properties are subject to competition from similar properties
in the vicinities in which they are located. In addition, various limited
partnerships have been formed by related parties to engage in businesses which
may be competitive with the Registrant.

There have been, and it is possible there may be other, Federal, state and local
legislation and regulations enacted relating to the protection of the
environment. The Partnership is unable to predict the extent, if any, to which
such new legislation or regulations might occur and the degree to which such
existing or new legislation or regulations might adversely affect the properties
owned by the Partnership.

The Partnership monitors its properties for evidence of pollutants, toxins and
other dangerous substances, including the presence of asbestos.  In certain
cases environmental testing has been    performed, which resulted in no
material adverse conditions or liabilities.  In no case has the Partnership
received notice that it is a potentially responsible party with respect to an
environmental clean up site.

The mortgage loans on each of the properties mature at various times with
balloon payments due at maturity.  Throughout the mortgage terms, interest only
payments are required.  The mortgage notes payable are nonrecourse and are
secured by pledge of the Partnership's properties and by pledge of revenues from
the respective properties.  The notes require prepayment penalties if repaid
prior to maturity and prohibit resale of the properties subject to existing
indebtedness.

In December 1995, three of the Partnership's investment properties, Williamsburg
Manor, Park Capitol, and Sandpiper I and II, obtained refinancing.  Total
proceeds from the refinancings totaled $10,825,000.  For the terms of these
mortgage notes, see table above.  Loan costs of approximately $360,000 were
incurred by the properties as a result of the refinancings, and are included in
other assets on the balance sheet. Park Capitol was charged a prepayment penalty
due to the early payoff of the old debt which resulted in the extraordinary loss
on refinancing of $18,000 for December 31, 1995.

During 1995, the Partnership had two notes payable, originally maturing in
January 1995, which were extended to June 1995.  The Lamplighter Park Apartments
note payable was approximately $4,600,000, and the Tamarac Village note payable
was approximately $2,800,000. On June 30, 1995, an extension agreement was
reached on the indebtedness secured by Lamplighter Park Apartments, which
extended the maturity of this mortgage debt to June 30, 1997.  This property's
debt was refinanced in November of 1996.  In December 1995, the indebtedness
secured by Tamarac Village was paid in full.

In November of 1996, five of the Partnership's investment properties, Cedar Rim,
City Heights, Hidden Cove, Lamplighter Park and Tamarac Village, obtained
initial financing or refinanced existing notes.  Proceeds from this transaction
totaled $19,700,000. For the terms of these mortgage notes, see table above.
Loan costs of $579,000 were incurred by the properties as a result of the
refinancings, and are included in other assets on the balance sheet.

(1)  The average annual rental rates for Corporate Center and South City are per
    square foot.  The rates are per unit for the apartment complexes.

The General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at Corporate Center to
current tenant expansions and several new tenants in previously vacant units.
The occupancy increase at Sandpiper is due to interior and exterior renovations
and improved market conditions.

As noted under "Item 1. Description of Business," the real estate industry is
highly competitive.  The Partnership's properties are subject to competition
from other residential apartment complexes and commercial buildings in the area.
The General Partner believes that all of the properties are adequately insured.
The multifamily residential properties' lease terms are for one year or less.
No residential tenant leases 10% or more of the available rental space.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDERS
        MATTERS

As of December 31, 1997, the number of holders of record of Limited Partnership
Units was 18,280.  No public trading market has developed for the Units, and it
is not anticipated that such a market will develop in the future.

The Partnership made distributions of cash generated from operations of
approximately $2,438,000, $4,821,000 and $3,644,000 for the years ended December
31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Partnership also made distributions
of cash from surplus funds of approximately $11,569,000 and $2,497,000 for the
years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Future distributions will
depend on the levels of cash generated from operations, refinancings, property
sales and the availability of cash reserves as discussed in "Note H -
Commitment" in "Item 7" of this Form 10-K.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF  OPERATIONS

This item should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and other
items contained elsewhere in this report.

Results of Operations

1997 Compared with 1996

The Partnership realized net income of $1,936,000 for the year ended December
31, 1997 compared to $1,153,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996.  The
increase in net income is primarily attributable to increased rental income
resulting from improved occupancy and increased rental rates at several
properties. In addition, other income increased as a result of increased tenant
charges, including lease cancellation, application, and cleaning fees, as well
as greater interest income earned on increased average cash balances.  Total
revenues were positively affected by South City's revenue for the full year
ended December 31, 1997 compared to the period from February 14, 1996, the date
of South City's acquisition, to December 31, 1996.  General and administrative
expenses decreased for the year ended December 31, 1997, due to a decrease in
professional fees and expense reimbursements.

Also contributing to the increase in net income is a decrease in operating
expense. Included in operating expense for the year ended December 31, 1997 is
approximately $719,000 of major repairs and maintenance compared to
approximately $1,234,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996.  The decrease in
major repairs and maintenance is due to various rehabilitation projects in 1996
at Williamsburg Manor, Lamplighter, Cedar Rim, and City Heights.  At
Williamsburg Manor, exterior renovation involving siding, gutter and shutter
repairs, as well as exterior painting, accounted for approximately $257,000 of
the operating expenses.  At Lamplighter, approximately $119,000 was spent on
exterior painting.  At Cedar Rim, 1996 expenditures included an exterior
building rehabilitation project of approximately $125,000 for repairs to
exterior lighting, balconies, painting, and siding and parking lot repairs of
approximately $30,000.  At City Heights, $91,000 was spent on exterior painting
during 1996. The 1997 extraordinary expenses are comprised primarily of exterior
building improvements, exterior painting, gutter repair, parking lot
rehabilitation and major landscaping. Partially offsetting these changes were
increases in interest expense and depreciation expense.  The increase in
interest expense is due primarily to the refinancing of Tamarac Village and
Lamplighter Park and new debt on Hidden Cove, Cedar Rim and City Heights, whose
debt balances increased approximately $12,500,000 in November of 1996.
Depreciation expense increased due to the increase in the depreciable asset base
at several of the Partnership's properties from capital additions of
approximately $1,692,000 and $1,699,000 during 1997 and 1996, respectively.

1996 Compared with 1995

The Partnership realized net income for the year ended December 31, 1996, of
$1,153,000 compared to a net loss of $1,624,000 for the year ended December 31,
1995.  The increase in net income is primarily attributable to the write-down
recorded in 1995 of the note receivable between the Partnership and Lincoln
South City Business Center Limited Partnership.  This note receivable was
subsequently foreclosed on in February 1996.  In addition, rental income
increased due to improved occupancy and increased rental rates at several
properties.  Also contributing was a casualty gain of $114,000 relating to fire
damages at the Lamplighter Park Apartments.  The October fire damaged 12 units
in one building at the complex.  General and administrative expenses decreased
due to lower expense reimbursements related to the combined efforts of the
Dallas and Greenville partnership administration staffs during the transition
period in 1995.  The increased costs related to the transition efforts were
incurred to minimize any disruption in the year-end reporting function including
the financial reporting and K-1 preparation and distribution.

Offsetting these changes were increases in operating and depreciation expenses,
which are due in part to the acquisition of South City Business Center.  The
increase in operating expenses was also impacted by increased repair and
maintenance expenditures resulting from efforts to increase the curb appeal of
several of the Partnership's properties.  Depreciation expense increased due to
an increase in the depreciable asset base at several of the Partnership's
properties from capital additions of approximately $1,699,000 and $1,401,000
during 1996 and 1995, respectively, and the addition of South City as a
depreciable asset.  The decrease in other income resulted primarily from no
interest income being recognized on the South City note receivable in 1996 while
$275,000 of interest income was recorded in 1995.  The increase in interest
expense is due primarily to the refinancing of Williamsburg Manor, Park Capitol
and Sandpiper I and II, whose debt balances increased approximately $6,000,000
through the refinancings, partially offset by the retirement of the third
mortgage secured by Tamarac Village in December 1995.

The borrower on the note receivable secured by the South City Business Center
placed the property under Chapter 11 protection in September 1992.  In April
1993, the Bankruptcy Court approved the borrower's reorganization plan pursuant
to which the General Partner and the borrower agreed to a restructure agreement.
During 1995, the debtor stopped making note payments on the South City note in
June and officially defaulted on the note in August.  The Partnership obtained
an appraisal of the collateral and it was determined that this note receivable
was impaired. Accordingly, during 1995, the Partnership recorded a write-down of
$3,255,000 related to South City Business Center to adjust the note balance to
the estimated net realizable value of the collateral. An affiliate of the
General Partner was appointed receiver in September 1995, and the foreclosure
proceedings were finalized during the first quarter of 1996.

As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the General Partner
monitors the rental market environment of each of its investment properties to
assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy
levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in expenses.  As part of
this plan, the General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from the
burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and
maintaining a high overall occupancy level.  However, due to changing market
conditions, which can result in the use of rental concessions and rental
reductions to offset softening market conditions, there is no guarantee that the
General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 1997, the Partnership held unrestricted cash of approximately
$5,054,000 compared to approximately $15,813,000 at December 31, 1996.  The net
decrease in cash and cash equivalents for the year ended December 31, 1997 is
$10,759,000 compared to a net increase of $5,942,000 for the year ended December
31, 1996.  Net cash provided by operations increased primarily due to increased
rental revenues and interest income, and decreased operating expenses, partially
offset by increased interest payments, as discussed above.  Net cash used in
investing activities decreased due to the 1996 funding of restricted escrows
required by the 1996 refinancings.  Net cash used in financing activities
increased due to higher distributions to the partners during 1997 compared to
1996 and the 1996 net proceeds from the mortgage refinancings which were
included in net cash provided by financing activities.

The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital
expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital
expenditures required at the various properties to adequately maintain the
physical assets and other operating needs of the Partnership.  Such assets are
currently thought to be sufficient for any near-term needs of the Partnership.
The notes payable of $30,525,000 have maturity dates ranging from 2003 to 2005
at which time the individual properties will be refinanced or sold.
Distributions of approximately $14,007,000 and $7,318,000 were made to the
partners during 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Future cash distributions will
depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations, property sales, and
the availability of cash reserves.

The Partnership is required by the Partnership Agreement to maintain working
capital reserves for contingencies of not less than 5% of Net Invested Capital
as defined in the Partnership Agreement.  In the event expenditures are made
from this reserve, operating revenue shall be allocated to such reserve to the
extent necessary to maintain the foregoing level.  Reserves, including cash and
securities available for sale, totaling approximately $5.2 million at December
31, 1997, were greater than the reserve requirement of approximately $3.4
million.

In December 1995, three of the Partnership's properties, Williamsburg Manor,
Sandpiper I and II, and Park Capitol, were successfully refinanced. Total
proceeds from the refinancings totaled $10,825,000.  The extraordinary loss on
refinancing of approximately $18,000 resulted from a prepayment penalty charged
for the early payoff of the original debt secured by Park Capital.  In November
of 1996, five of the Partnership's investment properties, Cedar Rim, City
Heights, Hidden Cove, Lamplighter Park and Tamarac Village, obtained initial
financing or refinanced existing notes.  Proceeds from this transaction totaled
$19,700,000. Throughout the mortgage term, interest-only payments are made on
the financed properties.  Loan costs of $941,000 were incurred by the properties
as a result of the refinancings.

The General Partner has received a nonbinding letter of intent from an
unaffiliated party interested in pursuing the purchase of Lamplighter Park
Apartments.  The General Partner is currently evaluating the terms of the offer
and plans to make a decision with regard to the sale before March 31, 1998.

Year 2000

The Partnership is dependent upon the General Partner and Insignia for
management and administrative services.  Insignia has completed an assessment
and will have to modify or replace portions of its software so that its computer
systems will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and
thereafter (the "Year 2000 Issue").  The project is estimated to be completed
not later than December 31, 1998, which is prior to any anticipated impact on
its operating systems.  The General Partner believes that with modifications to
existing software and conversions to new software, the Year 2000 Issue will not
pose significant operational problems for its computer systems. However, if such
modifications and conversions are not made, or are not completed timely, the
Year 2000 Issue could have a material impact on the operations of the
Partnership.

                 Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors



The Partners
Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties/3


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Consolidated Capital
Institutional Properties/3 as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related
statements of operations, changes in partners' capital (deficit) and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the
Partnership's management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Consolidated Capital
Institutional Properties/3 as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

EP/3, EP/4, and EP/5, pursuant to which the aggregate principal would not exceed
the net amount raised by the Partnership's offering of approximately
$96,000,000.

Upon the Partnership's formation in 1984, CCEC, a Colorado corporation, was the
corporate general partner. In December 1988, CCEC filed for reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 11").  In 1990, as
part of CCEC's reorganization plan, ConCap Equities, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "General Partner" or "CEI") acquired CCEC's general partner
interests in the Partnership and in 15 other affiliated public limited partner-
ships and replaced CCEC as managing general partner in all 16 partnerships.

Prior to December 1994, all of CEI's outstanding stock was owned by GII Realty,
Inc. In December 1994, the parent of GII Realty, Inc., entered into a
transaction (the "Insignia Transaction") in which an affiliate of Insignia
Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia") acquired an option (exercisable in whole or
in part from time to time) to purchase all of the stock of GII Realty, Inc. and,
pursuant to a partial exercise of such option, acquired 50.5% of that stock.  As
part of the Insignia Transaction, the Insignia affiliate also acquired all of
the outstanding stock of Coventry Properties, Inc., a property management
entity.  In addition, confidentiality, non-competition, and standstill
arrangements were entered into between certain of the parties.  Those
arrangements, among other things, prohibit GII Realty's former sole shareholder
from purchasing Partnership Units for a period of three years. On October 24,
1995, the Insignia affiliate exercised the remaining portion of its option to
purchase all of the remaining outstanding capital stock of GII Realty, Inc.  As
of December 31, 1997, Insignia Properties Trust, an affiliate of Insignia, owned
100% of the outstanding stock of CEI.  At December 31, 1997, Insignia
Properties, L.P., an affiliate of Insignia, owned 43,220 Units of the
Partnership.

The Partnership operates eight apartment properties and two commercial
properties located throughout the United States.

The principal place of business for the Partnership and for the General Partner
is One Insignia Financial Plaza, Greenville, South Carolina, 29602.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:  The Partnership considers all highly liquid
investments with a maturity, when purchased, of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.  At certain times, the amount of cash deposited at a bank may
exceed the limit on insured deposits.

Tenant Security Deposits:  The Partnership requires security deposits from
lessees for the duration of the lease, and such deposits are included in
receivables and deposits.  The security deposits are refunded when the tenant
vacates, provided the tenant has not damaged its space and is current on its
rental payments.

Restricted Escrows:  As a result of the refinancing of Williamsburg Manor,
Sandpiper I & II and Park Capitol in 1995 and Lamplighter Park, Tamarac Village,
Hidden Cove, Cedar Rim, and City Heights in 1996, the following reserves were
established:

    Capital Improvement Reserve - As part of the refinancings, the properties
deposited $1,416,000 in 1996 and $843,000 in 1995 with the mortgage companies to
establish a Capital Reserve designated for certain capital improvements.  At
December 31, 1997, this reserve totaled approximately $1,400,000.

    Replacement Reserve - As a result of the refinancings, each property will
make monthly deposits to establish and maintain a Replacement Reserve designated
for repairs and replacements at the properties.  At December 31, 1997, this
reserve totaled approximately $741,000.

Note Receivable Impairment:  In 1995, the Partnership adopted "Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 114, Accounting By Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan."  Under the new standard, the provision for credit losses,
related to loans that are identified for evaluation in accordance with FASB
Statement No. 114, is based on discounted cash flows using the loan's initial
effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral for certain
collateral dependent loans.  During 1995, it was determined that the note
secured by the South City Business Center was impaired.  Accordingly, during
1995, the Partnership recorded a write-down of $3,255,000 ($1,500,000 in the
fourth quarter) on the note receivable to adjust the note balance to the
estimated net realizable value of the collateral.  See "Note E - Notes and
Interest Receivable" regarding the 1996 foreclosure proceedings.

Investment Properties:  Investment properties are stated at cost. Costs of
properties that have been permanently impaired have been reduced to the
estimated fair market value.  Acquisition fees are capitalized as a cost of real
estate. During 1995, the Partnership adopted "SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,"
which requires impairment losses to be recognized on long-lived assets used in
operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be
impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those
assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. The adoption of "SFAS
No. 121" did not have a material effect on the Partnership's financial
statements.

Depreciation:  Buildings and improvements are depreciated using the straight-
line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from 3 to 25
years. Tenant improvements are depreciated over the terms of the related leases.

Leases:  The Partnership leases its residential properties under short-term
operating leases.  Lease terms are generally one year or less in duration.  The
Partnership expects that in the normal course of business these leases will be
renewed or replaced by other leases.

The Partnership leases certain commercial space to tenants under various lease
terms. For leases containing fixed rental increases during their term, rents are
recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases.  For all other
leases,  rents are recognized over the terms of the leases as earned.

Interest Recognition on Notes Receivable:  The Partnership's policy is to cease
accruing interest on notes receivable that have been delinquent for 60 days or
more. In addition, interest income is only accrued to the extent collateralized
by the net realizable value of the subject property.

Loan Costs:  Loan costs of approximately $2,000, $579,000 and $360,000 were
capitalized in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively (in conjunction with property
refinancings).  At December 31, 1997 and 1996, a total of $941,000 and $939,000
less accumulated amortization of $171,000 and $51,000, respectively, are
included in other assets.  Loan costs are amortized on a straight-line basis
over the life of the loans.

Income Taxes:  No provision has been made in the financial statements for
Federal income taxes because, under current law, no Federal income taxes are
paid directly by the Partnership.  The partners are responsible for their
respective shares of Partnership net income or loss.

Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss:  The Partnership Agreement provides for
net income and net losses for both financial and tax reporting purposes to be
allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the general partner.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:  "SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair 
Value of Financial Instruments", as amended by "SFAS No. 119, Disclosures about
Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments",
requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments,
whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to
estimate fair value. Fair value is defined in the SFAS as the amount at which 
the instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing 
parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.  The Partnership believes 
that the carrying amount of its financial instruments (except for long term 
debt) approximates their fair value due to the short term maturity of these
instruments.  The fair value of the Partnership's long term debt, after
discounting the scheduled loan payments to maturity, approximates its carrying
balance.

Use of Estimates:  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Advertising:  The Partnership expenses the costs of advertising as incurred.
Advertising expense, included in operating expenses, was $242,000, $292,000, and
$273,000 during the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Reclassifications:  Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996 and
1995 information to conform to the 1997 presentation.

NOTE B - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the General Partner and its
affiliates for the management and administration of all partnership activities.
The Limited Partnership Agreement ("Partnership Agreement") provides for
payments to affiliates for property management services based on a percentage of
revenue.  The Partnership Agreement also provides for reimbursement to the
General Partner and its affiliates for costs incurred in connection with
administration of Partnership activities. The following payments were paid to
affiliates of the General Partner during each of the years ending December 31,
1997, 1996 and 1995 (in thousands):

                                             1997        1996        1995
Property management fees (included in
  operating expenses)                      $  737      $  658      $  572
Reimbursement for services
  of affiliates, including $33,000,
  $27,000, and $32,000 of construction
  services reimbursements in 1997,
  1996, and 1995, respectively
  (included in investment properties,
  general and administrative expenses
  and operating expenses)                     374         403         429

Additionally, the Partnership paid $36,000, $32,000 and $14,000 during the years
ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, to an affiliate of the
General Partner for lease commissions at the Partnership's commercial
properties. These lease commissions are included in other assets and are
amortized over the terms of the respective leases.  The Partnership also paid
$98,000 to affiliates of Insignia for reimbursements of costs related to the
loan refinancings in November of 1996. These costs were capitalized as loan
costs and are being amortized over the term of the loans.

A director of Insignia Financial Group, Inc. is affiliated with a professional
legal association that received fees in connection with the 1996 refinancing of
certain of the Partnership's properties (see "Note F").  These fees totaled
$60,000 and have been capitalized as loan costs and are being amortized over the
term of the loans.

From the period July 1995 to August 1997, the Partnership insured its properties
under a master policy through an agency and insurer unaffiliated with the
General Partner.  An affiliate of the General Partner acquired, in the
acquisition of a business, certain financial obligations from an insurance
agency which was later acquired by the agent who placed the master policy.  The
agent assumed the financial obligations to the affiliate of the General Partner
who received payments on these obligations from the agent.  The amount of the
Partnership's insurance premiums accruing to the benefit of the affiliate of the
General Partner by virtue of the agent's obligations is not significant.

During December 1997, Insignia affiliates (the "Purchaser") commenced tender
offers for limited partnership interests in ten real estate limited partnerships
(including the Partnership) in which various Insignia affiliates act as general
partner.  The Purchaser offered to purchase up to 145,000 of the outstanding
units of limited partnership interest in the Partnership, at $85 per Unit, net
to the seller in cash, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
the Offer to Purchase dated December 31, 1997 (the "Offer to Purchase") and the
related Assignment of Partnership Interest attached as Exhibits (a)(1) and
(a)(2), respectively, to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule 14D-1 originally
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 31, 1997.  Because
of the existing and potential future conflicts of interest (described in the
Partnership's Statements on Schedule 14D-9 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission), neither the Partnership nor the Managing General Partner
expressed any opinion as to the Offer to Purchase and made no recommendation as
to whether unit holders should tender their units in response to the Offer to
Purchase.  In addition, because of these conflicts of interest, including as a
result of the Purchaser's affiliation with various Insignia affiliates, the
manner in which the Purchaser votes its limited partner interest in the
Partnership may not always be consistent with the best interests of the other
limited partners.  Subsequent to December 31, 1997, Insignia Properties, L.P.
acquired an additional 47,865.5 units in the Partnership as a result of the
aforementioned tender offer.

NOTE C - SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE

The Partnership accounts for its securities available for sale ("Securities") in
accordance with "SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities."  As the fair value of the securities held by the Partnership
approximate their cost, any unrealized gains or losses are immaterial and,
therefore, have not been recorded in the accompanying financial statements.  Any
such adjustment would be recorded directly to partners' capital (deficit) and
would not be reflected in the statement of operations.  The cost of securities
sold is determined using the specific identification method.

Investments stated at cost, consisted of the following at December 31, 1997 and
1996, (in thousands):


DESCRIPTION                          COST                 MATURITY
                             1997           1996
Commercial Paper             $100           $100          May 1998
Equity Securities               5              9          N/A
                             $105           $109

NOTE D - CASUALTY EVENTS

In October 1996, a fire damaged twelve units at the Lamplighter Park Apartments.
The unit where the fire started suffered extensive damage, and as a result, the
asset and related accumulated depreciation were written off in 1996.  At
December 31, 1996, an insurance proceeds receivable was recorded, as well as a
miscellaneous payable representing the estimated cost of restoring the damaged
units.  The net gain recognized in 1996 relating to this fire was $114,000.  In
1997, the restoration was completed, and additional unanticipated charges were
incurred.   The net effect of these charges was a casualty loss of approximately
$24,000 being recognized in 1997 relating to the 1996 fire.  The 1997 loss was 
recorded as a reduction to the gain on casualty items on the Partnership's 
statement of operations.

In 1997, a fire at Hidden Cove by the Lake Apartments damaged ten units in one
building at the complex.  The units affected suffered primarily smoke and water
damages, and the restoration was completed in the second quarter of 1997.   A
casualty gain of $16,000 was recognized in 1997 as a result of this fire.

NOTE E - NOTES AND INTEREST RECEIVABLE

The borrower on the note receivable secured by the South City Business Center
placed the property under Chapter 11 protection in September 1992.  In April
1993, the Bankruptcy Court approved the borrower's reorganization plan pursuant
to which the General Partner and the borrower agreed to a restructure agreement.
During 1995, the debtor stopped making note payments on the South City note in
June and officially defaulted on the note in August.  The Partnership obtained
an appraisal of the collateral and it was determined that this note receivable
was impaired. Accordingly, during 1995, the Partnership recorded a write-down of
$3,255,000 related to South City Business Center to adjust the note balance to
the estimated net realizable value of the collateral. An affiliate of the
General Partner was appointed receiver in September 1995, and the foreclosure
proceedings were finalized during the first quarter of 1996.


NOTE F - MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE

Notes payable at December 31, 1997, consist of the following (in thousands):



                       Principal      Monthly                            Principal

                       $30,525        $ 183


In December 1995, three of the Partnership's investment properties, Williamsburg
Manor, Park Capitol, and Sandpiper I and II, obtained refinancing.  Total
proceeds from the refinancings totaled $10,825,000.  This debt accrues interest
at a rate of 6.95% per year, matures on December 1, 2005, and requires balloon
payments at maturity for the full principal amount.  Throughout the mortgage
term, interest only payments are made.  Loan costs of approximately $360,000
were incurred by the properties as a result of the refinancings, and are
included in other assets on the balance sheet. Park Capitol was charged a
prepayment penalty due to the early payoff of the old debt which resulted in the
extraordinary loss on refinancing of $18,000 for December 31, 1995.

During 1995, the Partnership had two notes payable, originally maturing in
January 1995, which were extended to June 1995.  Lamplighter Park Apartments
secured approximately $4.6 million, and Tamarac Village secured approximately
$2.8 million. On June 30, 1995, an extension agreement was reached on the
indebtedness secured by Lamplighter Park Apartments, which extended the maturity
of this mortgage debt to June 30, 1997.  This property's debt was refinanced in
November of 1996.  In December 1995, the indebtedness secured by Tamarac Village
was paid in full.

In November of 1996, five of the Partnership's investment properties, Cedar Rim,
City Heights, Hidden Cove, Lamplighter Park and Tamarac Village, obtained
initial financing or refinanced existing notes.  Proceeds from this transaction
totaled $19,700,000.  The debt accrues interest at a rate of 7.33% per year,
matures on November 1, 2003, and requires balloon payments at maturity for the
full principal amount. Throughout the mortgage term, interest-only payments are
made.  Loan costs of $579,000 were incurred by the properties as a result of the
refinancings, and are included in other assets on the balance sheet.

The mortgage notes payable are non-recourse and are secured by pledge of the
respective properties.  Also, all notes require prepayment penalties if repaid
prior to maturity and prohibit resale of the properties subject to existing
indebtedness.

NOTE G - SUMMARY OF NONCASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITY

On February 14, 1996, the Partnership foreclosed on South City Business Center,
the investment property collateralizing the note receivable between the
Partnership and Lincoln South City Business Center Limited Partnership.  In
connection with this transaction, the following accounts were adjusted by the
amounts noted in 1996 (in thousands):

Accounts receivable                        $    15
Security deposit liability                     (72)
Investment properties                        4,383
Note receivable                             (4,400)

No gain or loss was recorded upon the foreclosure due to the carrying value of
the note receivable being adjusted to the value of the underlying collateral
during 1995.

NOTE H - COMMITMENT

The Partnership is required by the Partnership Agreement to maintain working
capital reserves for contingencies of not less than 5% of Net Invested Capital,
as defined in the Partnership Agreement.  Reserves, including cash and
securities available for sale, totaling approximately $5.2 million, were greater
than the reserve requirement of $3.4 million at December 31, 1997.

NOTE I - PARTNERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT)

Net profits, net losses, and distributions are allocated 99% to the Limited
Partners and 1% to the general partner.

The Partnership made distributions of cash generated from operations of
approximately $2,438,000, $4,821,000 and $3,644,000 for the years ended December
31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The Partnership also made distributions
of cash from surplus funds of approximately $11,569,000 and $2,497,000 for the
years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

NOTE J - OPERATING LEASES

Tenants of the Partnership's commercial properties are responsible for payment
of their proportionate share of real estate taxes.  Insurance, common area
maintenance expenses and a portion of the real estate taxes are paid directly by
the Partnership. The Partnership is then reimbursed by the tenants for their
proportionate share of the real estate taxes.

The future minimum rental payments to be received under operating leases that
have initial or remaining noncancellable lease terms in excess of one year as of
December 31, 1997, are as follows (in thousands):


                       1998                           $ 1,088

income tax returns of its partners.

The following is a reconciliation of reported net income and Federal taxable
income (loss) (in thousands, except unit data):

      Partnership:


                                          NUMBER OF      PERCENT

(c)   Changes in Control

      Beneficial Owners of CEI

      As of January 1, 1998, the following persons were known to CEI to be the
      beneficial owners of more than 5 percent of its common stock:

                                         NUMBER OF       PERCENT
      NAME AND ADDRESS                   CEI SHARES      OF TOTAL

      Insignia Properties Trust           100,000          100%
      One Insignia Financial Plaza
      Greenville, SC  29602

      Insignia Properties Trust is an affiliate of Insignia (see "Item 1").


During December 1997, Insignia affiliates (the "Purchaser") commenced tender
offers for limited partnership interests in ten real estate limited partnerships
(including the Partnership) in which various Insignia affiliates act as general
partner.  The Purchaser offered to purchase up to 145,000 of the outstanding
units of limited partnership interest in the Partnership, at $85 per Unit, net
to the seller in cash, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
the Offer to Purchase dated December 31, 1997 (the "Offer to Purchase") and the
related Assignment of Partnership Interest attached as Exhibits (a)(1) and
(a)(2), respectively, to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule 14D-1 originally
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 31, 1997.  Because
of the existing and potential future conflicts of interest (described in the
Partnership's Statements on Schedule 14D-9 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission), neither the Partnership nor the Managing General Partner
expressed any opinion as to the Offer to Purchase and made no recommendation as
to whether unit holders should tender their units in response to the Offer to
Purchase.  Subsequent to December 31, 1997, Insignia Properties, L.P. acquired
an additional 47,865.5 units as a result of the aforementioned tender offer.

There are no arrangements known to the General Partner, the operation of which
may, at a subsequent date, result in a change in control of the Partnership.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Except for the transactions described below, neither CEI nor any of its
directors, officers or associates, or any associates of any of them, has had any
interest in any other transaction to which the Partnership is a party.

The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the General Partner and its
affiliates for the management and administration of all partnership activities.
The Limited Partnership Agreement ("Partnership Agreement") provides for
payments to affiliates for property management services based on a percentage of
revenue.  The Partnership Agreement also provides for reimbursement to the
General Partner and its affiliates for costs incurred in connection with
administration of Partnership activities. The following payments were paid to
affiliates of the General Partner during each of the years ending December 31,
1997, 1996 and 1995 (in thousands):

                                             1997        1996        1995

Property management fees                   $  737      $  658      $  572
Reimbursement for services
  of affiliates, including $33,000,
  $27,000, and $32,000 of construction
  services reimbursements in 1997,
  1996, and 1995, respectively                374         403         429

Additionally, the Partnership paid $36,000, $32,000 and $14,000 during the years
ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, to an affiliate of the General Partner
for lease commissions at the Partnership's commercial properties. These lease
commissions are included in other assets and are amortized over the terms of the
respective leases.  The Partnership also paid $98,000 to affiliates of Insignia
for reimbursements of costs related to the loan refinancings in November of
1996. These costs were capitalized as loan costs and are being amortized over
the term of the loans.

A director of Insignia Financial Group, Inc. is affiliated with a professional
legal association that received fees in connection with the 1996 refinancing of
certain of the Partnership's properties (see "Note F").  These fees totaled
$60,000 and have been capitalized as loan costs and are being amortized over the
term of the loans.

From the period July 1995 to August 1997, the Partnership insured its properties
under a master policy through an agency and insurer unaffiliated with the
General Partner.  An affiliate of the General Partner acquired, in the
acquisition of a business, certain financial obligations from an insurance
agency which was later acquired by the agent who placed the master policy.  The
agent assumed the financial obligations to the affiliate of the General Partner
who received payments on these obligations from the agent.  The amount of the
Partnership's insurance premiums accruing to the benefit of the affiliate of the
General Partner by virtue of the agent's obligations is not significant.
