These results have been determined on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles and practices in the United States of America and have been applied consistently with those used in the preparation of the Partnership's 2002 annual report on Form 10KSB. 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 2002 annual report on Form 10KSB. NOTE 2: ASSETS HELD FOR SALE Costs incurred by the Partnership for acquisition and holding of land as of June 30, 2003 are as follows: 24th St. & Baseline $2,331,204 79th Ave. & Peoria 955,932 ---------- $3,287,136 ========== NOTE 3: COMPUTATION OF PARNTERSHIP LOSS PER UNIT Partnership loss per unit is based on the weighted average number of partnership units outstanding during the periods presented. Loss per unit is calculated by net loss for the period (numerator) divided by the weighted average number of partnership units outstanding (denominator). NOTE 4: BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The Partnership's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Partnership's intent to sell all of the remaining properties and liquidate the Partnership will not impact the accounting treatment applied by the Partnership in its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as the liquidation proceeds and the timing thereof are not currently estimable. When the timing of the last cash receipt from the sale of the last property is reasonably determinable, the 6 Partnership will adopt the liquidation basis of accounting in that quarter. At that time, all assets and liabilities will be adjusted to their settlement amounts and an amount to be distributed to the remaining limited partners upon liquidation will be estimated. NOTE 5: RESTRICTED CASH AND ESCROW DEPOSITS Restricted cash and escrow deposits represent earnest money deposits (released to the Partnership per the purchase agreements), which will be applied to the purchase price at closing, but nonrefundable to the purchaser upon termination or cancellation of the purchase agreement. As of August 8, 2003, the escrow agent has released escrow money totaling $170,000 to the Partnership. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION 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 10KSB and 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS There were no sales of vacant land for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Subsequent to June 30, 2003, the Partnership closed the sale of the real property located at Baseline and 24th Street, Phoenix, AZ on July 23, 2003 for a gross sales price of $3,066,316. The cost of sale was $2,707,963, resulting in net income of $358,353. The basis in the property sold was $2,331,204. The General Partner is actively and aggressively attempting to sell its remaining property in order to liquidate the Partnership. The General Partner has successfully negotiated an agreement with a buyer and entered into escrow on the real property located at Peoria and 79th Avenue, Peoria, AZ. Options available to the buyer have been exercised/granted to extend the closing date to August 31, 2003. The Partnership received two nonrefundable extension deposits of $15,000 each on July 24, 2003 and August 8, 2003 respectively, which are in addition to the purchase price. The agreement provides for extension periods to 7 extend the closing deadline by the purchaser depositing certain funds as described in the agreement, including any amendments thereto. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, all earnest money deposits are to be released to the Partnership and applied to the purchase price at closing, but nonrefundable to the purchaser upon termination or cancellation of the purchase agreement. As of August 8, 2003, the escrow agent has released escrow money totaling $170,000 to the Partnership, of which $60,000 is option income that is in addition to the purchase price and nonrefundable. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES: General and administrative expenses were $48,918 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, and primarily consisted of property taxes ($8,674), management fees ($16,606), and accounting fees ($18,633). General and administrative expenses were $71,194 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, and primarily consisted of property taxes ($25,565), management fees ($20,397), and accounting fees ($21,544). NET LOSS. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 was $16,720 and $71,300, respectively. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. There is no provision for income taxes because the Partnership's income (loss) is passed from the partnership to the partners and taxed at the individual level. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of June 30, 2003 the Partnership had $460,892 in cash and money market instruments, including restricted cash of $265,000. The sources of revenue during the operating period were proceeds from the interest on the money market account, and administrative transfer fees and escrow funds released to the Partnership pursuant to the escrow agreements. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND COMMITMENTS MANAGEMENT FEES. The general partner, Investors Recovery Group L.L.C., entered into an agreement with Horizon Real Estate Group, dated September 1996, to provide broker/manager and accounting services for the Partnership.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES Our discussion and analysis or plan of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE - On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to land held for investment purposes (assets held for sale) and provisions for loan losses. We base our estimates on the lower of cost or estimated fair value less costs to sell and adjust for any impairment of value. Estimated fair value is based upon independent appraisals or prevailing market rates for comparable properties. Appraisals are estimates of fair value based upon assumptions about the property and the market in which it is located. The Partnership's judgments and estimates may be impacted by changes in interest rates, property values, geographic economic conditions, or the entry of other competitors into the market. ITEM 3.
