                          PART I-FINANCIAL INFORMATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial  statements included herein have been prepared by the Partnership,
without  audit,  pursuant to the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission.  Certain  information  and footnote  disclosures  normally
included in financial  statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting  principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
It is  believed,  however,  that  the  disclosures  are  adequate  to  make  the
information presented not misleading.  These financial statements should be read
in  conjunction  with the  Partnership's  December 31, 2003,  audited  financial
statements and notes thereto.


NOTE 2 - INTEREST INCOME

During 2002,  the  Partnership  sold three  ranches due to low  production,  and
financed the sales through long term mortgage notes,  with interest ranging from
6% to 7.5%.  The  Partnership  is in the  process of selling  these  notes in an
effort to liquidate the remaining assets held. As of June 30, 2004, the notes on
the Sierra and Famosa  Ranches had been sold,  and the note on the Clausen Ranch
was sold on July 7,  2004.  As of June 30,  2004,  a  reserve  for  $46,049  was
recorded  against the face  values of the notes to  approximate  net  realizable
value.



                          PART I-FINANCIAL INFORMATION


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

Introduction
- ------------

         In the ordinary  course of business,  the Partnership has made a number
of estimates and assumptions  relating to the reporting of results of operations
and  financial  condition in the  preparation  of its  financial  statements  in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.  Actual results could differ  significantly  from those estimates under
different  assumptions  and conditions.  The Partnership  believes the following
discussion addresses the most critical accounting policies, which are those that
are most important to the portrayal of the Partnership's financial condition and
results. The Partnership re-evaluates these significant factors as necessary and
makes adjustments where facts and circumstances dictate.

         Historically, actual results have not significantly deviated from those
determined  using  the  necessary  estimates  inherent  in  the  preparation  of
financial statements. Estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to:
estimated  price per pound,  useable  lives of the orchards and related  assets,
collectibility  of  receivables,  and the deferral of certain crop costs.  These
accounting   policies  are  applied   consistently   for  all  years  presented.
Information  about the  impact  on our  operating  results  is  included  in the
footnotes to our consolidated financial statements. "


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

         The cash proceeds from the sale of the properties and notes  receivable
are being deposited in the Partnership's money market account at Charles Schwab.
The balance as of June 30, 2004 was $3,012,258.



         On April 19, 2004, the note  receivable on the Sierra Ranch was sold to
the property owner Merritt Farms.  The note had a face value of $63,675.  It was
sold for $57,854, a discount of $5,821.

         On May 20, 2004,  the note  receivable  on the Famosa Ranch was sold to
the current property owner.  The note had a face value of $221,000.  It was sold
for $171,275, a discount of $49,725.

         As of June 30, 2004,  the note  receivable  on the Clausen Ranch was in
escrow to be sold to the purchaser of the property for $153,083. The sale of the
note closed on July 7, 2004.  It is the intention to set these funds aside to be
used as part of the final Partnership liquidation distribution.


Results of Operations
- ---------------------

         The  Partnership  is  currently  in the  process  of  liquidation.  All
properties and two of the notes  receivable  have been sold. The final note sale
was in escrow as of June 30,  2004.  The sale  closed on July 7, 2004.  With the
deposit of the note sale proceed in to the liquidation  account the balance will
be in excess of $3,166,000.  With the sale of the final note receivable,  all of
the Partnership  assets have been sold and the Partnership will be liquidated in
2004.


Item 3.  Controls and Procedures

         Within  the 90 day  period  prior  to the  date  of  this  report,  the
Partnership  carried out an  evaluation,  under the  supervision  of the General
Partner and the General  Partner's  management,  including  its Chief  Executive
Officer and Chief  Financial  Officer,  of the  effectiveness  of the design and
operation of the Partnership's  disclosure  controls and procedures  pursuant to
Exchange Act Rule 15d-14 ( c ). Based *on that  evaluation,  the General Partner
concluded  that  the  Partnership's   disclosure  controls  and  procedures  are
effective in a timely manner to alert them to material  information  relating to
the Partnership which is required to be included in the  Partnership's  periodic
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  filings.  There have been no  significant
changes in the  Partnership's  internal  controls or in other factors that could
significantly affect these controls subsequent to the evaluation date.
