SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Property and Depreciation - Property is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Inventories - Inventories, consisting of growing crops, is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Cost is defined as cultural care costs related to the growing crops. Income Taxes - The Partnership reports its tax returns on the cash basis of accounting. No provision for income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements as the Partnership's results of operations are distributed to the partners for inclusion in their respective income tax returns. Profit Recognition on Real Estate Sales - It is the Partnership's policy to defer profit on real estate sales until such time as the purchaser's cumulative investment and continued involvement in the property meet the minimum criteria for full profit recognition as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate. Until such time as profit can be recognized under the full accrual method, the cost recovery and installment methods are used. Net Income Per Limited Partnership Interest - Net income per limited partnership interest was calculated using the weighted average of limited partnership interests outstanding during the year and the Limited Partners' share of the net income. B. GENERAL Green Gold Consolidated was organized in accordance with the Provisions of the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act for the purpose of receiving the assets and liabilities of twelve limited partnerships under common management and thereby consolidating the operations of those partnerships under an exchange transaction effective June 30, 1983. Under the exchange transaction, the Partnership issued 10,000,000 limited partnership interests (pro rata) to the holders of interests in the twelve individual limited partnerships in exchange for the assets and liabilities of those partnerships. Under the provisions of the partnership agreement, profits and losses are allocated in the ratio of 93.5% to the Limited Partners and 6.5% to the General Partner, provided that prior to the first fiscal quarter during which a distribution is made to the General Partner from the proceeds of the property sales or refinancing, all gains and losses resulting from property sales are allocated in the ratio of 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner. The combination of the twelve partnerships into one partnership was treated as a reorganization of entities under common control, accounted for similar to a "pooling of interest". C.

STATEMENT BY MANAGEMENT In the opinion of the Management, the financial information presented herein reflects all adjustments which are necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations There were no crop sales for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 compared to $37,000 for the same quarter in 1997. The crop picked this quarter totaled 25,000 pounds at an averaged of $1.49 per pound. The budgeted amount for 1998 is 487,000 of avocados at an average of $.60 pounds; however, this may vary somewhat based on the impact of the normal tree cycle and the effects of the "avocado" persea mite. In the prior year ended September 30, 1996, 416,000 pounds at an average of $.75 per pound were produced. Operating costs and expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 increased $13,000, from $99,000 to $112,000. Cultural care costs decreased $5,000 from $45,000 to $40,000. The decrease is mainly attributed to lower water costs resulting from heavy rain fall this quarter. Professional services increased $9,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 from $29,000 to $38,000. The increase is mainly attributed to accounting costs of $14,000 compared to $8,000 the prior year. Accounting costs overall are expected to remain at prior year levels. Depreciation and other costs increased $10,000 from $25,000 to $35,000. The variances are mainly attributed to increases in system costs of $3,000, foreclosure costs of $2,000, filing fees of $2,000 for renewal of White Reports, and property taxes of $2,000. Other income for quarter ended December 31, 1997 decreased $14,000 from $66,000 to $52,000. The decrease mainly results from reduced interest income on notes receivable totaling $10,000. There were no sales during this quarter. The marketing and sales program is actively underway for all of the remaining 16 parcels totaling 146 acres. Sales activity in general remains slow for this type of property. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership has cash reserves of approximately $279,000 to cover operating expenses and any small amount real estate sales costs that may arise. This is expected to be sufficient to comply with the business plan. PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
