NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF INFORMATION FURNISHED (6/30/2001)

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with Form 10Q instructions and in the opinion of management contain
all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2001, the results of
operations, and of cash flows for the three and six month periods ending June
30, 2001. These results have been determined on the basis of generally accepted
accounting principles and practices and applied consistently with those used in
the preparation of the Partnership's 2000 annual report on Form 10K. The
effective date of the partnership's emergence from bankruptcy was March 31,
2000, as filed on form 8K/A on November 14, 2000.

Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in the financial
statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that the accompanying financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto incorporated by reference in the Partnership's 2000 annual report on
Form 10K.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

When used in this discussion, the words "believes", "anticipates", "expects",
and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could
cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which
speak only as of the date hereof. Actual results, performance or achievements
could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward looking
statements as a result of numerous factors. The Partnership undertakes no
obligation to republish revised forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events. Readers are also urged to carefully review and consider
the various disclosures made by the Partnership which attempt to advise
interested parties of the factors which affect the Partnership's business, in
this report, as well as the Partnership's periodic reports on Forms 10-K and 8-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

There were no sales of vacant land for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The
Partnership emerged from bankruptcy on March 31, 2000 and at that time the
Partnership applied the `fresh start' accounting rules. The properties were
written down by $501,267 to their estimated fair market values, and known losses
of $56,303 were accrued and charged to partners' capital so that no losses were
recognized on property sales subsequent to the reorganization date. For tax
purposes, losses from property sales are realized upon the sales of the
respective properties.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 2001 the Partnership had $169,555 in cash and money market
instruments. The sources of revenue during the operating period were proceeds
from the interest on the money market account and administrative transfer fees.

PLAN OF OPERATION

The Partnership is actively and aggressively attempting to sell all of its
remaining properties and liquidate the Partnership. The General Partner is
currently working to identify and negotiate with potential buyers. If all of the
Partnership assets are not sold prior to the dissolution date of December 31,
2001, then the General Partner shall immediately commence to wind up the
Partnership affairs and liquidate the assets of the Partnership as promptly as
possible.
