Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Partnership to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements, expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. ITEM 1. BUSINESS Associated Planners Realty Income Fund (the "Partnership"), was organized in December 1986, under the California Revised Limited Partnership Act. West Coast Realty Advisors, Inc. ("WCRA"), a California corporation, and W. Thomas Maudlin Jr., an individual, are general partners (collectively referred to herein as the "General Partner"). The Partnership was organized for the purpose of investing in, holding, and managing improved, unleveraged income-producing property, such as residential properties, office buildings, commercial buildings, industrial properties, mini- warehouse facilities, and shopping centers ("Properties"), which are believed to have potential for cash flow and capital appreciation. The Partnership intends to own and operate such Properties for investment over an anticipated holding period of approximately five to ten years. At December 31, 1997, the Partnership had no employees. The Partnership's principal investment objectives are to invest the net proceeds in real properties which will: 1. Preserve and protect the Partnership's invested capital; 2. Provide for cash distributions from operations; 3. Provide gains through potential appreciation; and 4. Generate federal income tax deductions so that a portion of cash distributions may be treated as a return of capital for tax purposes and, therefore, may not represent taxable income to the limited partners. On February 26, 1988, the Partnership attained its minimum funding requirement with the initial release of escrow funds totaling $1,272,000 and terminated its offering on September 5, 1989. As of December 31, 1989, gross proceeds from sales of Partnership units totaled $5,106,000 and $4,594,101 net of syndication costs and sales commissions. 2 On October 25, 1988. the Partnership acquired a shopping center located in Chino, California (the "Center"). On January 9, 1990, the Partnership, together with Associated Planners Realty Growth Fund ("Growth Fund"), purchased a one- story building located in San Marcos, California. The acquisition was paid for entirely in cash totaling $3,118,783 of which $2,806,905 was provided by the Partnership and $311,878 by the affiliate. On November 1, 1996, Associated Planners Realty Income Fund ("Income Fund") purchased the remaining 10% interest in the one story building located in San Marcos, California from Growth Fund. Income Fund paid Growth Fund $185,968 on November 2, 1996 for the 10% interest in the San Marcos property. This amount consisted of $188,001 for the property itself, less $2,033 for the share of a cash security deposit from the current tenant that Growth Fund retained. There is no debt in connection with the property. Growth Fund terminated business shortly thereafter. The ownership and operation of any income-producing real estate is subject to those risks inherent in all real estate investments. These include national and local economic conditions, the supply of and demand for similar types of real property, competitive marketing conditions, zoning changes, possible casualty losses, and increases in real estate taxes, assessments, and operating expenses, as well as others. The Partnership is subject to competitive conditions that exist in the local markets where it operates rental real estate. These conditions are discussed in ITEM 2-- "PROPERTIES". The Partnership is operated by the General Partner, subject to the terms of the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership. The Partnership has no employees, and all administrative services are provided by West Coast Realty Advisors Inc. ("WCRA") - the co-General Partner. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The properties acquired by the Partnership are described below: YORBA CENTER On October 25, 1988, the Partnership purchased Yorba Center (the "Center"), a retail shopping center located in Chino, California. The Center, constructed in 1987, provides 12,697 rentable square feet located on a .91-acre parcel of land. As of December 31, 1997, the Center was 100% leased to nine tenants. The average monthly rent per occupied square foot was $1.15. All but two tenants are renting space on a "triple net" lease basis, i.e., each tenant being proportionately responsible for payment of all expenses including insurance, taxes, maintenance, and other operating expenses. The remaining two tenants are renting space on a "gross" basis, i.e. the landlord is responsible for payment of all expenses pertaining to these tenants. 3 The building and improvements are depreciated over 31.5 to 40 years using a straight-line method for both financial and income tax reporting purposes. The financial and income tax basis for the property are the same. In the opinion of the General Partner, the property is adequately insured. The property is managed by West Coast Realty Management, Inc. ("WCRM"), an affiliate of the corporate General Partner. The Center is dependent upon the vitality of the consumer market in the general area. Since the City of Chino applies strict building regulations on developers, it is expected that new development will be limited, thereby preserving the Center's competitive edge during the Partnership's intended holding period. Although all areas of Southern California have occasionally been affected by the economic slowdowns, layoffs, plant closings and military cutbacks, these economic factors are not expected to significantly impact the occupancy of the shopping center. Tenants occupying 10% or more of rental square footage as of December 31, 1997: Mels Liquor: 15.79% of rental square footage; $36,000 rent per year; lease expires on May 31, 2002; Renewal Options: Lessee has option to extend lease 5 years to May 31, 2007. Video Club: 13.69% of rental square footage; $12,690 rent per year; lease expires on August 31, 1998; Renewal Options: No renewal options. San Bernardino County Superintendent Schools: 17.11% of rental square footage; $28,188 rent per year; lease expires on June 30, 1997; Renewal Options: Lessee has one option to extend the lease for one additional year. Descry Cal: 10.04% of rentable square footage; $22,508 rent per year; lease expires on May 31, 2002. During 1997, the Yorba Center had no tenants accounting for more than 10% of the total Partnership rental revenue. PENDING TRANSACTIONS The Yorba Center located in Chino, California was listed for sale with a commercial real estate broker in October 1997. The original acquisition cost of this property was $1,881,147. There is no debt on the property. At this time, there are no clear indications as to the amount of net proceeds to be realized from the sale of the property. However, the General Partner expects to be able to consummate a sale of the property during 1998. Upon sale of this property, all the proceeds from the sale will be distributed to the limited partners and the General Partner in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. 4 Although the Partnership intends to aggressively market the sale of the Yorba Center, there are no guarantees that a sale will actually take place within the time frame mentioned above, and at a sales price acceptable to the Partnership. SAN MARCOS INDUSTRIAL BUILDING On January 9, 1990, the Partnership together with Associated Planners Growth Fund (a 90%/10% interest, respectively) purchased the San Marcos Industrial Building located in San Marcos, California. On November 1, 1996, Associated Planners Realty Income Fund ("Income Fund") purchased the remaining 10% from Associated Planners Realty Growth Fund ("Growth Fund"). This asset consisted of the remaining 10% interest that Income Fund had not already owned in an office building located in San Marcos, California. Income Fund paid $185,968 on November 2, 1996 for the 10% interest in the San Marcos property. This amount consisted of $188,001 for the property itself, less $2,033 for the share of a cash security deposit from the current tenant that Growth Fund retained. There are no debts in connection with the property. The industrial building, constructed in 1986 located on a 2.66 acre parcel of land, consists of 40,720 rentable square feet including 6,000 square feet of office area plus 1,300 square feet of mezzanine above the office area. The building was 100% occupied by Professional Care Products, Inc. through January 8th, 1995, on a triple net lease. On February 13, 1995, a new triple net lease was executed with No Fear, Inc., which expires on June 30, 1998. This lease required the tenant to pay insurance, taxes, maintenance, and all other operating costs. The building is located in North San Diego County, in an area of increasing population and desirability for San Diego area professional and skilled workers and significant employers. It is expected, that the building will benefit from the projected growth in the North San Diego County area. The building and improvements are depreciated over 31.5 to 40 years using a straight-line method for both financial and income tax reporting purposes. The financial and income tax basis for the property are the same. In the opinion of the General Partner, the property is adequately insured. The property is managed by WCRM. Tenants occupying 10% or more of rental square footage as of December 31, 1997: No Fear Inc.: 100% of rental square footage; $219,481 rent for the current year; lease expires on June 30, 1998; Renewal Options: Extend lease for 60 additional months at lessee's option. The San Marcos property represented 57.7% of the Partnership's total rental revenue. 5 SUMMARY As of December 31, 1997, the combined occupancy rate for all of the Partnership's properties was 100%. The properties were fully leased and are generating a level of cash flow consistent with the market conditions in which the properties operate. The total acquisition cost to the Partnership of each property and the date of acquisition are as follows: ACQUISITION ACQUISITION DESCRIPTION COST DATE YORBA CENTER $1,882,283 10/25/88 SAN MARCOS INDUSTRIAL BUILDING (90%) $2,816,904 01/09/90 SAN MARCOS INDUSTRIAL BUILDING (10%) $188,001 11/01/96 The schedule below indicates the average occupancy rate expressed as a percentage of square feet for the last five years: YEAR YORBA CENTER SAN MARCOS INDUSTRIAL BUILDING 1997 100% 100% 1996 100% 100% 1995 90% 88% 1994 90% 100% 1993 61% 100% ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS None. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS None. 6 PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS At December 31, 1997, there were 5,096 limited partnership units outstanding and 429 unit holders of record. The units sold are not freely transferable and no public market for the sold units presently exists or is likely to develop. Distributions totaling $157,976, $231,812 and $189,361 were made to limited partners in 1997, 1996, and 1995, to unit holders of record at the end of the calendar quarters indicated below. These distributions constituted a return of capital of $36,234, $63,402 and $49,683, in 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. The general partner distributions totaled $17,553, $25,763 and $21,092 for 1997, 1996, and 1995. In addition, $107,016 ($21.00/partnership unit) in distributions were paid to unit holders subsequent to year-end on February 6, 1998. The Partnership began paying distributions on a semi-annual basis with the first record date and payment date being December 31, 1997 and February 6, 1998, respectively. This change will permit the Partnership to operate more efficiently with lower Partnership operating expenses. These semi-annual distributions will include cash distributions for the previous six months of operations. The decrease in 1997 distributions was due to the fact that the third and fourth quarter distributions were paid in February 1998, as the partnership converted to a semi-annual distribution payment method. If the third quarter distribution for 1997 had been paid in 1997, the total distribution would have been approximately $211,484. The limited partner distribution amounts for 1997 and 1996 are summarized below: RECORD DATE PER UNITS TOTAL DATE PAID UNIT OUTSTANDING PAID 12/31/94 02/03/95 $6.25 5,096 $31,850 03/31/95 05/05/95 8.4088 5,096 42,851 06/30/95 08/04/95 10.00 5,096 50,960 09/30/95 11/06/95 12.50 5,096 63,700 12/31/95 02/06/96 12.50 5,096 63,700 03/31/96 04/30/96 13.00 5,096 66,248 06/30/96 08/06/96 10.00 5,096 50,904 09/30/96 11/05/96 10.00 5,096 50,960 12/31/96 02/03/97 10.00 5,096 50,960 03/31/97 05/09/97 10.50 5,096 53,508 06/30/97 08/05/97 10.50 5,096 53,508 Distributions are made out of the income from operations, before depreciation and amortization, available as a result of the previous six months of operations. 7 ITEM 6.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Certain statements in the Management Discussion and Analysis constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Reform Act"). Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Partnership to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements, expressed of implied by such forward-looking statements. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - 1997 VS. 1996 Operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 represented a full year of rental operations for all of the Partnership properties. However, operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 represented a full year of rental operations for all properties expect the San Marcos property which was wholly owned for only two months, and 90% owned for the other ten months of the 1996. 8 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT.) The net income for the year ended December 31, 1997 ($194,210) was higher than the year ended December 31, 1996 ($168,410) due to the acquisition of the remaining 10% interest in the San Marcos property in November 1996, as well as a decrease in a one-time prior year property tax assessment imposed by the County of San Bernardino for the Yorba Center property. The Partnership did not have any adverse events that significantly impacted net income during the year ended December 31, 1997, and all properties that have been purchased by the Partnership have operated at levels equal to current expectations. All tenants were current on their lease obligations. Rental revenue increased by $6,901 (1.7%) due to the purchase of the remaining 10% of the San Marcos property on November 2, 1996. The purchase generated additional rental revenue of approximately $3,800 a year and $815 per month during the year ended December 31, 1997. Operating expenses decreased by $25,011 (22%) primarily as a result of the elimination of a one-time prior year property tax assessment imposed by the County of San Bernardino for the Yorba Center property. General and administrative costs decreased by $5,943 (15%) due to lower accounting, and general insurance expense. Interest income decreased by $9,808 (67%) due to less cash reserve balances maintained during the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1996. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $2,247 (2%) as a result of the purchase of the remaining 10% in the San Marcos property during 1996. During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Partnership distributed $157,976 to the limited partners and $17,553 to the general partners, as compared to the year ended December 31, 1996 when the Partnership distributed $231,812 to the limited partners and $25,763 to the general partners. Cash basis income for the year ended December 31, 1997 was $296,663. Cash basis income was derived by adding depreciation and amortization expense to net income. Cash distributions during 1997 were less ($121,134) than cash basis net income due to the Partnership electing distribute cash basis net income on a semi-annual basis. The record dates for the cash distributions are December 31, and June 30 with payment dates being February and August, respectively. In contrast, distributions in 1996 were less than cash basis income $11,041. Overall, the Partnership generated $296,663 in income from operations before depreciation expense of $102,453. This compares favorably to 1996 when income from operations totaled $268,616 before depreciation of $100,206. Net income per limited partnership unit increased from $27.97 in 1996 to $32.49 in 1997. The number of limited partnership units outstanding in both years was 5,096. In summary, the operating performance of the Partnership continued to improve and all properties were operating profitably. 9 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT.) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - 1996 VS. 1995 Operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 represented a full year of rental operations for all properties expect the San Marcos property which was wholly owned for only two months, and 90% owned for the other ten months of the year. The net income for the year ended December 31, 1996 ($168,410) was higher than the year ended December 31, 1995 ($139,678) due to the acquisition of the remaining 10% interest in the San Marcos property in November 1996, as well as the San Marcos property being leased throughout all of 1996 but not leased from January 8, to February 12, 1995. The Partnership did not have any adverse events that significantly impacted net income during the year ended December 31, 1996, and all properties that have been purchased by the Partnership have operated at levels equal to current expectations. All tenants were current on their lease obligations. Rental revenue increased $45,172 (12%) due to the San Marcos property not being leased from January 8, to February 12, 1995. This was due to vacancy at the property between the time that the Professional Care Products (previous tenant) lease terminated and the No Fear (current tenant) lease began. In addition to the vacancy of the property, the lease rate that No Fear entered into was approximately 30% less than the rate that Professional Care Products was paying during its tenancy. Additionally, the remaining 10% in San Marcos that the Partnership had not owned was acquired on November 2, 1996 which was responsible for approximately $3,800 in additional rental revenue. Operating expenses increased $38,524 (49%) as a result of a one-time prior year property tax assessment imposed by the County of San Bernardino for the Yorba Center property. General and administrative costs decreased $21,733 (35%) due to lower accounting, taxes, and general insurance expense. Interest income increased $876 due to larger cash reserve balances maintained during the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2,130 (2%) as the result of the ownership of the remaining 10% in the San Marcos property during 1996. During the year ended December 31, 1996, the Partnership distributed $231,812 to the limited partners and $25,763 to the general partners, as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995 when the Partnership distributed $189,361 to the limited partners and zero to the general partners. Cash basis income for the year ended December 31, 1996 was $268,616. This was derived by adding depreciation and amortization expense to net income. Thus, cash distributions this year were less ($11,041) than cash basis net income. In contrast, distributions in 1995 were less ($48,393) than cash basis income. 10 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT.) Overall, the Partnership generated $268,616 in income from operations before depreciation expense of $100,206. This compares favorably to 1995 when income from operations totaled $239,359 before depreciation of $98,076 and loss on government securities of $1,605. Net income per limited partnership unit increased from $22.94 in 1995 to $27.97 in 1996. The number of limited partnership units outstanding in each year was 5,096. In summary, the operating performance of the Partnership continued to improve and all properties were operating profitably. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Partnership made distributions to the limited partners totaling $157,976, of which $36,234 constituted a return of capital. On February 6, 1998, the Partnership made distributions of $21.00 a unit to unit holders of record at December 31, 1997. Distributions are determined by management based on cash flow and the liquidity position of the Partnership and anticipated occupancy of the properties. It is the intention of management to make semi-annual distributions of cash, subject to maintaining a reasonable reserve. The Partnership began paying distributions on a semi-annual basis with the first record date and payment date being December 31, 1997 and February 6, 1998, respectively. This change will permit the Partnership to operate more efficiently with lower Partnership operating expenses. These semi-annual distributions will include cash distributions for the previous six months of operations. Management uses cash as its primary measure of a partnership's liquidity. Cash representing adequate liquidity for a real estate limited partnership depends on several factors. Among them are: 1. Relative risk of the partnership; 2. Condition of the partnership's properties; 3. Stage in the partnership's life cycle (e.g., money-raising, acquisition, operating or disposition phase); and 4. Distributions to partners. 11 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT.) The Partnership has adequate liquidity based upon the above four factors. The first factor refers to the approximately 1% property reserve requirement of capital funds raised that the Partnership currently has; this relatively low reserve level is appropriate since all Partnership properties are acquired without the use of debt financing. The 1% property reserve requirement is the minimum guideline that is disclosed in the Partnership's prospectus; the Partnership had more than enough funds to meet this requirement as of December 31, 1997. The second factor relates to the condition of the Partnership's properties. Since the properties are in good condition, no unusual maintenance and repair expenditures are anticipated. The third factor is relevant to the Partnership because after the January 1990 purchase of the San Marcos property, the Partnership had effectively completed its acquisition phase, and entered the operating phase. The subsequent purchase of the remaining 10% interest in San Marcos property was achieved utilizing a combination of reserves and undistributed operating profits that were held back for the purpose of facilitating the acquisition. The fourth factor relates to partner distributions. The Partnership makes semi-annual distributions from the results of operations. Such distributions are subject to payments of Partnership expenses and reasonable reserves for expenses, maintenance, and replacements. During the year ended December 31, 1997 the Partnership paid the General Partner a partnership management fee of $17,553 and distributed $157,976 to the limited partners, of which $36,234 constituted a return of capital. In February 1998, the Partnership paid the General Partner a partnership management fee of $11,891 and distributed $107,016 to the limited partners. Partnership management fees were calculated and paid in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. The Tax Reform Acts of 1986 and 1987 and the Revenue Reconciliation Acts of 1990 and 1993 did not have a material impact on the Partnership's operations. The effects of the slowdown in the economy, inflation and changing prices have not had a material impact on the Partnership's revenues and income from operations. During the years of the Partnership's existence, inflationary pressures in the U.S. economy have been minimal, and this has been consistent with the experience of the Partnership in operating rental real estate in California. The Partnership has several clauses in the leases with its tenants that would help alleviate much of the negative impact of inflation. 12 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT.) CASH FLOWS 1997 VS. 1996 Cash resources increased by $158,296 during 1997 compared to the $189,521 decrease in 1996. The increase was primarily due to the Partnership electing to begin paying distributions semi-annually instead of quarterly beginning with the first record and payment dates being December 31, 1997 and February 6, 1998, respectively. This change represented approximately $107,000 of the increase in cash resources for the year ended December 31, 1997. In contrast, the decrease in cash resources during 1996 was the result of the investing activity involving the acquisition of the 10% interest in San Marcos. Cash provided by operating activities increased by $333,825 with the largest contributor being $296,663 in cash basis income. In contrast, cash provided by operating activities in 1996 was $256,054 due primarily to $268,616 in cash basis income. During 1997, cash used in financing activities was $175,529 which represented distributions to the limited and general partners. In contrast, cash used for financing activities in 1996 was $257,575 due to distributions to the limited and general partners. There were no investing activities during 1997. In contrast, the sole use of cash in investing activities in 1996 was the $188,001 expended for the acquisition of the remaining 10% in San Marcos property. CASH FLOWS 1996 VS. 1995 Cash resources decreased by $189,521 during 1996 compared to the $175,924 increase in 1995. This was the result of normal amounts of financing and operating activities which took place during the year and the extraordinary investing activity involving the acquisition of the 10% interest in San Marcos. Cash provided by operating activities increased by $256,054 with the largest contributor being the $268,616 of cash basis income. In contrast, cash provided by operating activities in 1995 was $375,284 due to $237,754 in cash basis income and the $163,272 received from the sale of government securities (such securities were purchased in 1993 primarily). During 1996 cash used in financing activities was $257,575 due to the distributions paid to the limited and general partners. This continues the Partnership's trend of distributing virtually all of the cash basis income to partners in the form of quarterly distributions. In contrast, 1995's cash used in financing activities was $189,361 due to distributions to the limited and general partners. The sole use of cash in investing activities in 1996 was the $188,001 expended for the acquisition of the remaining 10% of the San Marcos property.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT.) PENDING TRANSACTIONS The Yorba Center located in Chino, California was listed for sale with a commercial real estate broker in October 1997. The acquisition cost of this property was $1,882,283. There is no debt associated with the property. At this time, there is no clear indication as to the amount of net proceeds to be realized from the sale of the property. However, the General Partner expects to be able to consummate a sale of the property during 1998. The proceeds from the sale of the property will be distributed to the limited partners and the General Partner in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. Although the Partnership intends to aggressively market the Yorba Center property, there is no guarantee that a sale will actually take place, within the time frame mentioned above, and at a sales price acceptable to the Partnership.

The Partnership met its minimum funding of $1,200,000 on February 26, 1988 and terminated its offering on September 5, 1989. The Partnership was formed to acquire income-producing real estate throughout the United States with emphasis on properties located in California and southwestern states. The Partnership purchased such properties on an all cash basis and intended on owning and operating such properties for investment over an anticipated holding period of approximately five to ten years. BASIS OF The financial statements do not give effect to any assets that PRESENTATION the partners may have outside of their interest in the partner- ship, nor to any personal obligations, including income taxes, of the partners. RENTAL REAL ESTATE AND Assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the DEPRECIATION straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 31.5 to 40 years for financial and income tax reporting purposes. In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the cost of an asset may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be performed. If an evaluation is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset would be compared to the carrying amount to determine if a write-down to market value is required. RENTAL Rental revenue is recognized when the amount is due and payable REVENUE under the terms of a lease agreement. INVESTMENTS The difference between historical cost and market value are reported as unrealized gains or losses in the statement of income. For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, the STATEMENTS Partnership considers cash in the bank and all highly liquid OF investments purchased with original maturities of three months CASH FLOWS or less, to be cash and cash equivalents. USE OF The preparation of financial statements in conformity with ESTIMATES generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 21 ASSOCIATED PLANNERS REALTY INCOME FUND (A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES EARNINGS On March 3, 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial (LOSS) PER Accounting Standards No. 128. Earnings per share (SFAS 128). SHARE This pronouncement provides a different method of calculating earnings per share than is currently used in accordance with APB 15, Earnings per Share. SFAS 128 provides for the calculation of Basic and Diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the entity, similar to fully diluted earnings per share. Except where the provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 are applicable, common share equivalents have been excluded in all years presented in the Statements of Operations when the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dillutive. SFAS 128 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods after December 15, 1997; early adoption is not permitted. The Company has adopted this pronouncement during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997. The adoption of SFAS 128 does not effect earnings per share for fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 and prior years.

The ambiguity involved the treatment of the partnership management fee, being paid to the General Partner, as an expense of the Partnership, as opposed to a general partner withdrawal of capital. It was determined that the partnership management fee shall be treated as a withdrawal of capital in 1996 and beyond with a retroactive reallocation of capital for partnership management fees paid prior to 1996. In order to properly reflect this reallocation, a transfer of $170,030 was made from the General Partner's capital account to the Limited Partners capital account during the quarter ended March 31, 1996. 27 ITEM 9.
