ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
ORGANIZATION

First Wilkow Venture (the "Registrant") is a limited partnership

composed of 396 limited partners and two general partners who are Marc R. Wilkow

and Clifton J. Wilkow.

Marc R. Wilkow and Clifton J. Wilkow have been engaged in real estate

activities for over 20 years as officers of M&J Wilkow, Ltd., a closely held

corporation, and certain affiliated companies which have been involved (through

their predecessors in interest) in the acquisition, sale, development, leasing,

operation, brokerage and management of real estate since 1939.

Marc R. Wilkow is also president and sole director and stockholder of

the law firm of Wilkow & Wilkow, P.C., which is the general counsel for the

Registrant.

All of the above entities, including the Registrant, have their

principal offices at 180 North Michigan Avenue in Chicago, Illinois 60601.

M&J Wilkow, Ltd. and its affiliated companies have a combined administrative

staff of 46 and ancillary clerical, office and maintenance staff of

The Registrant owns outright or otherwise has participatory ownership

interests in real property for investment purposes. At December 31, 2000, there

are 31 properties in which the Registrant has interests, divided among

undeveloped land. Twenty-eight of the properties are neither owned nor leased by

the Registrant directly, but are owned by the Registrant in participation with

other partnerships, some of which the Registrant has contracted for a priority

position with respect to the receipt of cash distributions. These properties

break down into the following categories: one is a residential project;

seventeen are shopping centers; six are office buildings; one is a real estate

investment trust; one is undeveloped land; and two are hotels.

The remaining three properties are owned and operated by the
Registrant. Two are office buildings, and one is a shopping center.

COMPETITIVE POSITION

In general, none of the Registrant's properties are immune from the

pressures of competition. There are competing properties serving the

geographical areas in which each of the Registrant's properties are located. The

amount of revenue generated annually from these properties is very much

dependent upon national economic conditions generally and upon local economic

conditions specifically, among the latter of which are the availability and

demand for office space, commercial space and apartment units, as the case may

be. In general, the Registrant may incur substantial costs, from time to time,

at its commercial properties, in connection with either the renewal of existing

leases or the marketing of vacant space to new tenants. These costs may include

the costs of improving and upgrading space to be competitive, as well as the

payment of brokerage commissions.

ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES

The Registrant has an ownership interest in the following
properties as of December 31, 2000:
PROPERTIES INVOLVING PARTICIPATIONS

DUKE-WEEKS REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

On December 2, 1994, the Registrant's interests in three partnerships

were redeemed for 50,251 partnership units in Duke-Weeks Realty Limited

Partnership, the operating partnership ("UPREIT") of more than 100 properties.

The UPREIT's sole general partner is Duke-Weeks Realty Corporation (formerly

Duke Realty Investments, Inc.), a real estate investment trust ("REIT") listed

on the New York Stock Exchange. The partnership units in the UPREIT are

convertible, on a one-for-one basis, to shares of common stock to the REIT. As

part of the issuance of partnership units in the UPREIT, the REIT also completed

an offering to the public of 13,167,500 additional shares of common stock, which

generated proceeds of approximately $312.7 million.

The Registrant on April 15, 1997, converted 25,000 units in Duke-Weeks

Realty Limited Partnership to 25,000 shares of common stock of Duke-Weeks Realty

Investments, Inc. The stock was sold in two blocks of 12,500 shares on June 12,

1997, and July 21, 1997, for total proceeds of $1,028,212, resulting in a gain

of $794,962.

On August 18, 1997, a 2-for-1 stock and unit split occurred, resulting

in an additional 25,251 units of Duke-Weeks Realty Limited Partnership being

issued to the Registrant. The Registrant thus held 50,502 units in Duke-Weeks

Realty Limited Partnership at December 31, 2000.

ROSEMONT 28 LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (UNIMPROVED LAND IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA)

In June 1985, the Registrant invested $275,000 to obtain a 22.92%

interest in Rosemont 28 Limited Partnership, which owns 11.25 acres of

unimproved land held for development in Orlando, Florida. Additional investments

of $479,934 have been funded to cover the Registrant's pro rata share of the

costs of carrying the property and paying off the mortgage loan in full. Net

cash flow and residual proceeds are required to be distributed in accordance

with the partners' respective interests.

M&J/GROVE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (THE GROVE OFFICE PARK)

The Grove Office Park consists of three two-story office buildings

lying on six acres of land located in Wheaton, Illinois. The complex contains

105,454 square feet of prime office space with parking available for 343 cars.

Through December 31, 1995, the Registrant had invested a total of

$931,000 to acquire 981 limited partnership units (a 23.08% interest) in

M&J/Grove Limited Partnership ("M&J/Grove"), the partnership that was formed to

acquire the subject property. In addition, the Registrant owns seven units (a

3.02% interest) in Wilkow/Grove Partners Limited Partnership, which has a 5.87%

interest in M&J/Grove. As a Class A limited partner, the Registrant is entitled

to an 8% cumulative priority claim.

On July 1, 1996, the Registrant invested an additional $98,100 in

M&J/Grove in connection with the purchase of 981 Call Units, increasing its

interest in the investment to 27.34%. The Call Unit holders are entitled to a

cumulative cash flow priority of 12% per annum. Upon sale or refinancing, the

Call Unit holders will receive the first $367,500 of available net proceeds pro

rata. Any proceeds remaining thereafter will be split 25% to the holders of the

Call Units and 75% to the General and Class A Limited Partners. The proceeds of

the M&J/Grove capital call were primarily used for a mortgage debt restructuring

of the Grove Office Park. The original $8,000,000 mortgage was paid off at a

discounted amount of $5,600,000 and replaced with a new first mortgage loan in

the amount of $5,500,000, bearing interest at the fixed rate of 8.55% per annum

for five years. A limited guaranty of $1,562,500 was made by third parties on

behalf of M&J/Grove. The Registrant guaranteed $520,833, an amount which

approximates its ownership interest in M&J/Grove, exclusive of subordinated

equity interests which have no value. The property is also encumbered by

unsecured debentures of $1,000,000, which mature on May 1, 2001, and bear

interest at 9% per annum, payable quarterly.

L-C OFFICE PARTNERSHIP IV (DOVER FARMS APARTMENTS)

The Registrant holds a 74.92% interest in L-C Office Partnership IV,

which, through two investment partnerships, has a 53.9% effective interest in

M&J/Dover Limited Partnership, which owns Dover Farms Apartments, a 300

unfurnished one- and two-bedroom apartment complex located on a hilly,

landscaped setting in North Royalton, Ohio. Each apartment has a washer and

dryer, as well as either a patio or a terrace. Many apartments also include

fireplaces, dens and lofts. In terms of common areas, the complex includes a

clubhouse, pool and deck area, Jacuzzi and racquetball court.

The Registrant owned limited partnership interests in the partnerships

scheduled below whose sole asset was an interest in Lake Cook Office Development

Building IV Limited Partnership, one of the investment partnerships referred to

above. On December 31, 1999, the Registrant received an interest in Lake Cook

Office Development Building IV Limited Partnership in liquidation of these

partnerships, with the exception of TOP Investors Limited Partnership. The

result of this transaction was that the Registrant now owns a direct ownership

interest in

NAPERVILLE OFFICE COURT, NAPERVILLE, ILLINOIS

In August 1986, pursuant to the terms of an exchange agreement, the

Registrant acquired the Naperville Office Court for $4,830,000.

On April 6, 1988, the Registrant procured a $3,000,000 first mortgage

loan on the property which bears interest at the rate of 9.75% per annum and was

due in May 1998. During 1993, the Registrant exercised an option to adjust the

interest rate to 8.875%.

On June 8, 1998, the property was refinanced. The principal amount of

the new first mortgage loan is $4,500,000 bearing interest at an annual rate of

7.13%. The loan is to be amortized over a 30-year schedule, with a balloon

payment of the unpaid principal balance due on August 1, 2008. The existing

mortgage loan of $2,690,185 was paid off, resulting in net refinancing proceeds

of $1,642,123.

Naperville Office Court is located at 1801 - 1813 Mill Street in

Naperville, Illinois. Consisting of four single-story office buildings, the

property rests on 5.5 acres, contains 66,405 net rentable square feet and

WATERFALL PLAZA, ORLAND PARK, ILLINOIS

In March 1993, the Registrant acquired 100% ownership in the Waterfall

Plaza in exchange for its interest in the 2101 Commercial Office Building.

The project is subject to a $2,268,444 first mortgage loan with interest

at 9.65% per annum that is due in April 2002. On July 15, 1999, Waterfall Plaza

made a $200,000 principal payment on the first mortgage loan. The lender then

converted an additional $200,000 of Waterfall Plaza's debt to junior status,

thereby creating a $1,868,448 senior note and a $200,000 subordinated note. The

subordinated note bears interest at a rate of 9% and does not require interest

payments, while the senior note remains at 9.65% with a pay rate of 8.25%.

Unpaid interest added to principal for December 31, 2000, is $53,629.

Waterfall Plaza is a retail center located in Orland Park, Illinois.

Consisting of one single-story building, the property rests on 1.5 acres and

209 WEST JACKSON, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS

On August 24, 1995, the Registrant acquired a 59.44% undivided interest

in 209 West Jackson, a 142,996 square foot office building located in downtown

Chicago, in exchange for its 57.67% undivided interest in Tango Bay Suites

(Tango Bay Suites is now Ramada Inn & Suites). As part of this transaction,

Ramada Inn & Suites remains liable to the Registrant for loans advanced to fund

operating deficits. The 209 West Jackson building was subject to a first

mortgage of $10,000,000 and an additional $5,661,000 note secured by the first

mortgage, both interest only at General Electric Capital Corporation's

commercial paper rate plus 3.25% per annum.

On October 22, 1999, both the ownership and the debt were restructured.

The Registrant and its tenants in common rolled up their interests into a new

limited liability company, 209 West Jackson LLC. In addition to the interest,

each cotenant was responsible for a capital infusion, of which the Registrant's

share was $710,000, to obtain a 71% interest in the newly formed 209 West

Jackson LLC. The Registrant is also responsible for additional equity

contributions of $852,000, payable in three equal installments on the

anniversary date of the closing. Through a partial paydown of the principal

balance and approximately $5,000,000 of debt forgiveness by the property's

lender, General Electric Capital Corporation, the property's debt was reduced to

$10,000,000 and separated into two notes. The first note is for $8,600,000, and

the second note, a line of credit, is for $1,400,000. Funds in the amount of

$216,866 have been drawn on the second note as of December 31, 2000. The first

note matures on October 15, 2004, and bears interest at 8.95% per annum, payable

monthly.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On January 20, 1995, the Registrant entered into a revolving credit

facility with the LaSalle National Bank. The facility, due August 31, 2001, pays

interest at the prime rate. Maximum borrowings under the facility agreement are

the lesser of $675,000 or 80% of the fair market value of the Registrant's

investment in Duke-Weeks Realty Limited Partnership (see Item 2). Borrowings

under the facility agreement are secured by the partnership units of Duke-Weeks

Realty Limited Partnership owned by the Registrant.

As of December 31, 2000, the amounts outstanding under this facility

are as follows:




Cash borrowings $ -
Letters of credit:
Waterfall Plaza/GE Capital
(expires 8/31/01) 80,000
Annex of Arlington Heights/GE Capital
(expires 8/31/01) 280,000
----------

Total Outstanding Amounts $ 360,000
==========


The liquid assets of the Registrant increased as of December 31, 2000,

when compared to December 31, 1999, due to the sale of M&J/Retail properties.

The general partners currently believe that the amount of working

capital reserves, when considered with the Registrant's projected cash flows

from operations in 2001 and borrowings under the revolving credit facility, will

be sufficient to cover any normal cash or liquidity requirements which may be

reasonably foreseen.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT





To the Partners
First Wilkow Venture


We have audited the consolidated financial statements of First Wilkow Venture
(the "Partnership") listed in the index to the consolidated financial statements
set forth on Page 26. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules
listed in the index at Item 14 on Page 62. These consolidated financial
statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the
Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First Wilkow Venture
and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their
operations, changes in partners' capital and cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.

Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in
relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole,
present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

First Wilkow Venture (the "Partnership") owns outright or has
participatory ownership interests in real property located throughout the
United States for investment purposes.

A summary of the principal accounting policies followed by the Partnership
is set forth as follows:

The financial statements include the accounts of all entities in which
the Partnership owns fifty percent or more and maintains effective
control. Investments in entities in which ownership interests are less
than fifty percent and the Partnership exercises significant influence
over operating and financial policies are accounted for on the equity
method. Other investments are accounted for on the cost method.
Intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated entities
have been eliminated in consolidation.

For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the
Partnership considers certificates of deposit with a maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents. Certain Partnership deposits at
LaSalle National Bank are in excess of the amount insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and are, therefore, considered a
concentration of credit risk.

Rental income is derived from leasing to lessees (under operating
leases) various types of real estate owned by the Partnership.

Investments in real estate partnerships are reported using either the
cost or equity methods of accounting. Under the equity method, the cost
of these investments is reduced by a pro rata share of net losses and
drawings and increased by a pro rata share of net income of the
investee. Under the cost method, income is reported as draws are
received.

Land, buildings and improvements are carried at cost. Major additions
and betterments are charged to the property accounts; maintenance and
repairs which do not improve or extend the life of the respective
assets are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are sold or
retired, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized.

Depreciation on buildings, improvements, furniture and equipment is
computed using the straight-line and accelerated methods based on the
estimated useful lives of the assets.

Deferred charges represent real estate acquisition costs, deferred
broker commissions and mortgage financing costs. These costs are being
amortized using the straight-line method over lives ranging from 1 to
40 years.

There is no provision for federal income taxes as the partners report
their share of the Partnership's net income or loss in their individual
income tax returns.

Deferred state income taxes are provided on certain real estate sales
that are taxable to the Partnership which are being reported on an
installment or tax free exchange basis for income tax purposes.

Debt forgiveness income was being amortized as a reduction of interest
expense over the remaining term of the related loan using the effective
interest method. This debt forgiveness income was written off in 1998
upon loan refinancing.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with U.S. 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.

respective assets as follows:

In April 1978, the Partnership invested $260,000 to obtain a one-third
interest in First Ron Venture, which has a 38% interest in Apollo
Associates, which owns an apartment complex in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Although First Ron Venture was entitled to a cumulative annual priority
distribution of cash flow of which the Partnership's share was $23,490,
the property did not generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions.
The investment was being carried at zero. On December 31, 1993, the
Partnership acquired a 3.831% interest in First Apollo Associates, which
holds a one-third interest in First Ron Venture.

On February 25, 1999, the property was sold. The Partnership did not

was in excess of the sales price.

50,251 partnership units in the UPREIT, which are convertible on a
one-for-one basis to shares of common stock of the REIT. The Partnership's
limited partner units are currently pledged as collateral for a revolving
credit facility with LaSalle National Bank (see Note 10).

replaced with a new first mortgage loan in the amount of $5,500,000,
bearing interest at the fixed rate of 8.55% per annum for five years. A
limited guaranty covering 28.41%, or $1,562,500, of the mortgage loan was
made by third parties on behalf of M&J/Grove. The Partnership guaranteed
$520,833, an amount which approximates 28.41% of its ownership interest in
M&J/Grove, exclusive of subordinated equity interests which have no value.
The property is also encumbered by unsecured debentures of $1,000,000,
which mature on May 1, 2001, and bear interest at 9% per annum,
