                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1996


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         GENERAL

         The information contained in the following notes to the financial
         statements is condensed from that which would appear in the annual
         audited financial statements; accordingly, the financial statements
         included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial
         statements and related notes thereto contained in the annual report
         for the year ended December 31, 1995 filed by Real Equity Partners
         (the "Partnership").  National Partnership Investments Corp.
         ("NAPICO") is the corporate general partner of the Partnership.
         Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater
         reliance on estimates than at year end.  The results of operations for
         the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the
         results for the entire year.

         In the opinion of the general partners of the Partnership, the
         accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments
         (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) necessary to
         present fairly the financial position of the Partnership as of
         September 30, 1996, and the results of operations for the nine and
         three months then ended and changes in cash flows for the nine months
         then ended.

         USE OF ESTIMATES

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 reported amounts of revenues and
         expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ
         from those estimates.

         RENTAL PROPERTY AND DEPRECIATION

         Rental property is stated at cost.  Depreciation is provided for on
         the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
         buildings and equipment.

         On January 17, 1994, the Park Creek and Warner Willows I and II rental
         properties sustained damage, estimated at approximately $1,454,000,
         due to the Northridge earthquake in the Los Angeles area.  The total
         estimated expenditures needed to repair the properties, net of
         insurance recoveries in 1994 of $630,000, which nets to approximately
         $824,000, were expensed in 1994 since they did not extend the useful
         life of the properties.  In April 1996, the Partnership received from
         the insurance company a final settlement payment of $334,591 related
         to the earthquake loss.  This was reflected in income in the fourth
         quarter of 1995 and as a receivable at December 31, 1995.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1996


         NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

         Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank certificates of
         deposit with an original maturity of three months or less.

NOTE 2 - MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE

         Mortgage notes payable consist of the following:

         a.      Conventional mortgage notes bearing interest at rates ranging
                 from 8% to 10.375% per annum, payable in monthly installments
                 ranging from $14,105 to $44,300 per month and having maturity
                 dates from February 1996 to March 2001.  These notes total
                 $11,809,992 at September 30, 1996.

         b.      Mortgage note, insured by the Department of Housing and Urban
                 Development under the Section 221(d)(4) program, bearing
                 interest at the rate of 7 percent per annum, payable in
                 monthly installments of approximately $19,500, including
                 interest through maturity in the year 2013.  The note has a
                 balance of $2,312,849 at September 30, 1996.

         The mortgage notes are secured by deeds of trust on the rental
         properties.

                 In March 1995, the Parkside Apartments rental property ceased
                 making payments to the mortgage lender and the mortgage was in
                 default.  A Trust Deed Sale was completed and the property was
                 forclosed upon on May 23, 1996.  The assets and liabilities
                 were written off at June 30, 1996 and the operating statement
                 reflects a gain of $259,000 because the Partnership was
                 relieved of nonrecourse liabilities which were in excess of
                 the net book value of the property.

NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES

         No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying
         financial statements as such taxes, if any, are the liability of the
         individual partners.

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         The Partnership has entered into agreements with an affiliate of
         NAPICO to manage the operations of the rental properties.  The
         agreements are on a month-to-month basis and provide, among other
         things, for a management fee equal to 5 percent of gross rentals and
         other collections. Management fees charged to  operations   under this
         agreement were approximately $183,600 and $229,700 for the nine months
         ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1996


NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)

         An affiliate of NAPICO performed certain of the earthquake repairs at
         the Park Creek and Warner Willows I and II rental properties.  The
         payments to this affiliate for these repairs were approximately
         $735,000 as of December 31, 1995. (Note 1).  The remaining earthquake
         work which shall be funded from insurance proceeds is estimated to be
         approximately $226,891 will be competitively bid.  On February 22,
         1996, the Partnership entered into contracts with the affiliate of
         NAPICO to perform earthquake related repairs of $107,700 at the
         damaged properties, of which $112,600 has been paid as of September
         30, 1996.

NOTE 5 - FEES AND EXPENSES DUE GENERAL PARTNER

         Under the terms of the Restated Certificate and Agreement of Limited
         Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement"), the Partnership is
         obligated to the corporate general partner for a deferred acquisition
         fee.  This fee is for services rendered in connection with the
         selection, purchase, acquisition, development, and management of the
         Partnership and monitoring the operations of the properties.
         Distribution of any part of this fee shall be subordinated to receipt
         by each Limited Partner of an amount equal to a cumulative non-
         compounded 6 percent annual distribution with respect to the adjusted
         capital value (as defined in the Partnership Agreement).  The
         aggregate amount of the deferred acquisition fee distributed in any
         year from net cash from operations shall not exceed an amount equal to
         3 percent of the investment in properties plus any proceeds from sale
         or refinancing of the properties.  The deferred acquisition fee shall
         be an amount which, when present valued at 8 percent from certain
         dates as defined in the Partnership Agreement, equals 10 percent of
         the gross proceeds of the offering ($3,000,000).  Distribution of
         deferred acquisition fees will be made from net cash from operations
         and net proceeds from sale or refinancing for a maximum of 15 years,
         or until the above limit is met.

         The present value of the deferred acquisition fee plus accrued
         interest has been reflected in the accompanying financial statements
         and has been capitalized as part of the cost of rental property
         acquired.  In March 1994, the Partnership paid approximately
         $2,300,000 to the corporate general partner from refinancing proceeds.
         The amount outstanding as of September 30, 1996 was approximately
         $682,900.

         The Partnership reimburses NAPICO for certain expenses.  The
         reimbursement paid to NAPICO was $9,621 and $8,028 for the nine months
         ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and is included in
         general and administrative expenses.

NOTE 6 - CONTINGENCIES

         The corporate general partner of the Partnership is a plaintiff in
         various lawsuits and has also been named as defendant in other
         lawsuits arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business.
         In the opinion of management and the corporate general partner, the
         claims will not result in any material liability to the Partnership.

NOTE 7 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosure about
         Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of fair
         value information about financial instruments, when it is practicable
         to estimate that value.  One of the mortgage notes payable is insured
         by HUD and is secured by a rental property.  The operations generated
         by the property are subject to various government rules, regulations
         and restrictions which make it impracticable to estimate the fair
         value of this mortgage note payable.  The book values of all other
         debt instruments approximate their fair values because the interest
         rates of these instruments are comparable to rates currently offered
         to the Partnership.  The carrying amount of other assets and
         liabilities reported on the balance sheets that require such
         disclosure approximates fair value due to their short-term maturity.

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

         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Partnership was formed to invest in residential rental properties
         either directly or through investments in joint ventures and other
         partnerships which will invest in such real estate.  The Partnership
         acquired 6 buildings at various dates during 1984 and 1985.  One of
         the buildings was foreclosed in 1996.

         The Partnership's primary sources of funds are income from rental
         operations and interest income earned on cash reserves.

         Distributions of net cash from operations were normally intended to be
         made to the Limited Partners of record on a quarterly basis during the
         months of February, May, August, and November pro rata in proportion
         to the number of units held.  The November 1994 and subsequent
         distributions to the limited partners were not made due to the
         Partnership setting aside funds for losses incurred by REP as a result
         of the January 17, 1995 earthquake in the Los Angeles area.  The
         Partnership will resume distributions to the limited partners once
         sufficient funds are in cash reserves to repair such earthquake
         damage.

         Currently, it is anticipated that the Partnership will continue to
         meet its current and long term obligations as they become due.

         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Rental operations consist primarily of rental income and depreciation
         expense, debt service, and normal operating expenses to maintain the
         properties.  Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over
         the estimated useful lives of the buildings and equipment.
         Substantially all of the rental units in the apartment projects are
         leased on a month-to-month basis.

         An annual property management fee, which shall in any event not exceed

         The Parkside Apartments rental property was operating at a deficit.
         In March 1995, the Parkside Apartments rental property ceased making
         payments to the mortgage lender.  The mortgage lender filed a notice
         of default on January 17, 1996, and foreclosed on the property on May
         23, 1996.  The foreclosure resulted in a gain of $259,088 because the
         Partnership was relieved of nonrecourse liabilities which were in
         excess of the net book value of the property.

         from the same period in 1995.  Both properties operated with positive
         cash earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, (excluding
         earthquake repair costs, depreciation and principal payments on the
         mortgage loans).  Positive cash earnings for the nine months ended

         in 1995.  The property operated with a positive cash flows of
         approximately $40,000 during the first nine months of 1996.  The
         existing loan of $5 million maturing on May 1, 1996 was extended to
         August 1997 while concurrently entering into negotiations with Home
         Savings of America to refinance the existing loan.  A good faith
         deposit check was given to Home Savings of America on February 28,
         1996.

         Occupancy at the Willowbrook property averaged 94 percent during the

         On January 17, 1994, the Park Creek and Warner Willows I and II rental
         properties sustained damage, estimated at approximately $1,454,000,
         due to the earthquake in the Los Angeles area.  Included in
         liabilities as of September 30, 1996 is approximately $516,000 related
         to the earthquake damages.  The total estimated expenditures needed to
         repair the properties, net of the insurance recoveries in 1994 of
         $630,000, which nets to approximately $824,000, were expensed in 1994,
         since they did not extend the useful life of the properties.  In April
         1996, the Partnership received from the insurance company a final
         settlement payment of $334,591 related to the earthquake loss.  This
         was reflected in income in the fourth quarter of 1995 and included as
         a receivable at December 31, 1995.

         An affiliate of NAPICO performed certain of the earthquake repairs at
         the Park Creek and Warner Willows I and II rental properties.  The
         payments to this affiliate for these repairs were approximately
         $735,000 as of December 31, 1995.  The remaining earthquake work to be
         performed will be competitively bid.  On February 22, 1996, the

         NAPICO to perform earthquake related repairs of $107,700 at the
         properties, of which $112,600 has been paid as of September 30, 1996.

         The Partnership operations consist primarily of interest income earned
         on certificates of deposit and other temporary investments of funds
         not required for investment in projects.  The amount of interest
         income varies with market rates available on certificates of deposit
         and with the amount of funds available for investment.

         Operating expenses of the Partnership consist substantially of
         recurring general and administrative expenses and professional fees
         for services rendered to the Partnership and interest on the deferred
         acquisition fee due the General Partners.

         The Partnership is incurring interest expense at a rate of 8 percent
         per annum on the unpaid fees due the general partner.  Under the terms
         of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is obligated to the
         general partner for a deferred acquisition fee for services rendered
         in connection with the selection, purchase, development, management
         and monitoring the operations of the properties, in an amount which,
         when calculated on a present value basis (using a discount factor of 8
         percent for this purpose) from the date of payment to the general
         partners to September 27, 1984 equals 10 percent of the gross proceeds
         of the offering ($3,000,000).  Distribution of any part of this fee
         from net cash from operations shall be subordinate to receipt by each
         Limited Partner of an amount equal to a cumulative noncompounded 6%
         distribution.  The acquisition fee distributed in any year from net
         cash from operations shall not exceed an amount equal to 3 percent of
         investment in properties (approximately $600,000) plus any proceeds
         from sale or refinancing of the properties.  An annual property
         management fee, which shall not in any event exceed 5% of gross
         revenues from each property under management, is also payable to an
         affiliate of the corporate general partner.  On March 21, 1994, the
         excess proceeds received from the Park Creek and the Warner Willows I
         and II refinancings were used to partially pay the deferred
         acquisition fees due the general partner.  The amount outstanding as
         of September 30, 1996 was approximately $682,900.
