     1.   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
          prepared in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles
          for interim financial information. They do not include all information
          and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
          complete financial statements.  The results of operations are impacted
          significantly  by the  results of  operations  of the  Carrollton  and
          Columbia Partnerships,  which is provided on an unaudited basis during
          interim periods.  Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial
          statements are dependent on such unaudited information. In the opinion
          of the General Partners, the consolidated financial statements include
          all adjustments necessary to reflect fairly the results of the interim
          periods  presented.  All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
          No  significant  events have occurred  subsequent to December 31, 1996
          and no material  contingencies  exist which would  require  additional
          disclosure in the report under  Regulation  S-X, Rule 10-01  paragraph
          A-5.  

          The results of  operations  for the three  months ended March 31,
          1997 are not necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for
          the entire year. 

     2.   Additional information, including the audited December 31, 1996  
          Consolidated Financial Statements and the Summary of Significant 
          Accounting Policies, is included in Partnership's Annual Report on 
          Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 on file with 
          the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                      SECURED INCOME L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
         Results of Operations

Material changes in financial condition and results of operations.

     The results of  operations  of Secured  Income L.P. and  Subsidiaries  (the
"Partnership")  for the first three months of 1997 were  comparable to the first
three  months of 1996.  Changes  in assets  and  liabilities  are  comprised  of
periodic  transactions and adjustments,  including payments made pursuant to the
Columbia loan  documents and  depreciation  and  amortization.  During the three
months ended March 31, 1997, the Complexes generated net operating income before
scheduled  principal reduction on the mortgages and, in the case of the Columbia
Partnership,  prior to  mandatory  deposits  to the  Pledged  Cap  Account  (see
discussion below) and the Bond Retirement Escrow of approximately $462,000. Such
amount  reflects  cash flow  after  replacement  reserve  activity  and  capital
expenditures  and excludes  proceeds  from the remaining  guaranteed  investment
contract.  Mortgage  principal  payments  during  the  period  for the  Columbia
Partnership  and the  Carrollton  Partnership  were  approximately  $88,000  and
$28,000,  respectively.  During  the three  months  ended  March 31,  1997,  the
Columbia Partnership deposited approximately $140,000 to the Pledged Cap Account
and approximately  $71,000 to the Bond Retirement Escrow.  Restricted assets and
funded reserves as of March 31, 1997 include  Columbia  Partnership  deposits in
the Pledged Cap Account,  Operating Deficit Escrow and Bond Retirement Escrow of
approximately  $1,894,000,  approximately  $502,000 and approximately  $253,000,
respectively.  To the extent the future cash flow of the Columbia Partnership is
not utilized to fund the Operating Deficit Reserve or Pledged Cap Account,  such
cash  flow,  under  the  Citibank  loan  terms,  will be  deposited  to the Bond
Retirement Escrow to make additional mortgage principal payments.  Operating and
maintenance  expenses  increased  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1997 as
compared to the three  months ended March 31, 1996 due to an increase in planned
improvements,  repairs and  replacements  in 1997 as compared to 1996.  The 1993
mortgage modification of the Columbia Partnership has substantially improved the
financial condition of that partnership; however, there can be no assurance that
interest   rates  on  the   adjustable   rate  bonds   underlying  the  Columbia
Partnership's  mortgage will remain at current low levels.  The weighted average
interest rate on the Columbia Partnership debt, exclusive of the lender's credit
enhancement fee (see below),  was approximately  3.17% and  approximately  3.10%
during the three  months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,  respectively.  Although
the properties are currently  generating cash flow, the General  Partners do not
anticipate  significant future cash flow distributions from the properties given
the  distribution  restriction  on the Columbia  Partnership  resulting from the
restructuring of its debt.

     As discussed above, the balance in the Columbia  Partnership's  Pledged Cap
Account as of March 31, 1997 is approximately $1,894,000.  Although the original
outside date for the Pledged Cap Account to be utilized for its intended purpose
was  October  31,  1996,  the  Columbia  Operating  General  Partners  have been
conducting  ongoing  discussions  with the  lender  in order  to  address  other
potential  uses of such  account,  including  utilizing  such funds for costs in
connection  with a potential  refinancing of the mortgages with another  lender.
Under  the  current  financing  terms,  the  lender  is  entitled  to  a  credit
enhancement  fee of 2.5% per annum,  commencing  February 1, 1997,  based on the
outstanding loan balance.  Therefore,  the Columbia  Operating  General Partners
have been conducting  discussions with other potential credit enhancers in order
to obtain a lower effective borrowing rate.  However,  there can be no assurance
that the lender would approve any  alternative  utilization of such account,  or
that the Columbia  Operating General Partners will procure suitable  alternative
financing.

     As of March 31, 1997,  the occupancy of the  Fieldpointe  Complex (owned by
the  Carrollton  Partnership)  was  approximately  99% and the  occupancy of the
Westmont Complex (owned by the Columbia  Partnership) was approximately  100% as
to both residential units and commercial space.  Rental revenue of the Complexes
increased by  approximately 8% due to higher average  residential  occupancy and
increased  rental  rates  during  the first  three  months of 1997.  The  future
operating  results  of the  Complexes  will be  extremely  dependent  on  market
conditions  and  interest  rate  fluctuations  and  therefore  may be subject to
significant volatility.
