PART I
ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
ORGANIZATION

First Wilkow Venture (the "Registrant") is a limited partnership composed
of 482 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 35
and ancillary clerical, office and maintenance staff of approximately 105.

The Registrant employs approximately three people who are management and
maintenance personnel in connection with the operation of certain wholly owned
properties.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Registrant owns outright or otherwise has participatory ownership
interests in real property for investment purposes. At December 31, 1996,
there are 29 properties in which the Registrant has interests, divided among
residential, commercial and industrial buildings, shopping centers, and
undeveloped land. Twenty-four 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: three are residential
projects; thirteen are shopping centers; six are office buildings; one is a
real estate investment trust; and one is undeveloped land.

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, 1996:
PROPERTIES INVOLVING NET LEASES

23 EAST FLAGLER, MIAMI, FLORIDA

The property is a three-story commercial building located in downtown
Miami, Florida, which was net leased to McCrory Corporation for a term of 25
years, with four five-year options. The property is unencumbered by any
mortgage debt. The scheduled net rent through January 31, 2000, is $61,425 per
year. Prior to May 2, 1996, McCrory Corporation filed a petition for relief
under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. In response to a motion
filed on behalf of the Registrant to either (i) compel McCrory Corporation to
comply with its obligations under the lease or (ii) reject the lease, a
settlement was reached which, as subsequently amended, would allow McCrory
Corporation to reject the lease and yet retain possession through April 30,
1997, to complete an inventory liquidation process. The Registrant has
retained CB Commercial to assist the Registrant in connection with its efforts
to either lease or sell the property.

47TH & HALSTED, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS

This property is a 148,469 square foot commercial complex acquired in 1968
at a cost of $1,994,842. The property was leased on a 25-year net lease,
expiring on April 30, 1993, to Community Discount Centers, Inc. In addition,
the tenant has three five-year options at a rental during each option of
$205,264 per annum. The first and second five-year options have been
exercised. On January 16, 1981, the lease was assigned to the Zayre Corp., to
be operated as a Zayre Department Store. As a result of the acquisition of
Zayre Corp. by Ames Department Stores, Inc., the latter succeeded to the
tenant's position under the lease. On April 25, 1990, Ames filed a petition
for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code and on December 21, 1990,
elected to accept the lease. Subsequently, on January 15, 1991, the Zayre
Corp. assigned its interest in the lease to Fairplay, Inc. The tenant is
directly responsible for all taxes and common area maintenance expenses.

The property is encumbered by a mortgage securing two promissory notes in
the original principal amounts of $1,800,000 and $600,000, maturing December
31, 2003, and bearing interest at the respective rates of 7% and 4.96% per
annum.

The old mortgage was replaced with a $2,135,000 first mortgage bearing interest
at 9.9% per annum, but payable on a current basis only to the extent of cash
flow. Any unpaid interest accrues and compounds at 13% per annum. In addition
to minimum interest, the lender is entitled to additional interest based upon
generation of cash flow and net sale and/or refinancing proceeds in excess of
certain specified levels.

HAWDEL LIMITED PARTNERSHIP I AND III (2221 CAMDEN COURT OFFICE BUILDING)

The Registrant has invested a total of $1,320,000 representing an 18.03%

100,796 net rentable square feet of prime office space.

At August 1, 1994, the project was refinanced with a restructured first
mortgage in the reduced principal amount of $6,740,000 bearing interest at
8.875% per annum. Terms included the monthly payment of principal and interest
totaling $55,986 and a balloon payment of $6,040,052 on July 1, 2001. In

needed to pay down the mortgage principal balance in order to obtain the
benefits of the restructured loan. The note terms included interest at 7.52%
and a maturity date of July 18, 2004. The outstanding balance at December 31,

On January 16, 1997, the property was sold for $11,750,000, resulting in
full payment of the first mortgage and the partner loans. In addition, the
Registrant received an equity distribution of $690,360, resulting in an
estimated loss on disposition of $154,000. A provision for loss in book value
equal to the estimate is recognized in 1996.

M&J/LARGO LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (SUN POINTE PLACE APARTMENTS)

The Registrant invested a total of $694,227 to acquire 756 limited
partnership units (a 25.1% interest) in M&J/Largo Limited Partnership.
M&J/Largo Limited Partnership owned a 91.12% of Sun Pointe Place Limited
Partnership, which developed and owned a 140 furnished one-bedroom unit
apartment complex.

The project, located on Bay Drive in Largo, Florida, was sold on February
12, 1997, for $2,600,000. A portion of the sale proceeds were used to pay the
balance of a $200,000 mortgage obtained on October 13, 1994. The remainder of
the net sale proceeds were paid to M&J/Largo Limited Partnership when it
exercised its option to withdraw as a limited partner of Sun Pointe Place
Limited Partnership, simultaneous with the sale of the property. The
Registrant anticipates receiving a final equity distribution from M&J/Largo
Limited Partnership of approximately $575,000, resulting in an estimated loss
on disposition of $119,000. A provision for loss in book value equal to the
estimate is recognized in 1996.

DUKE REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

On December 2, 1994, the Registrant's interests in three partnerships were
redeemed for 50,251 partnership units in Duke Realty Limited Partnership, the
operating partnership ("UPREIT") of more than 100 properties. The UPREIT's
sole general partner is Duke Realty Investments, Inc., a real estate investment
trust ("REIT") listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The partnership units in
the UPREIT will, eventually, be 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.

regular monthly payments due under the mortgage, participates in 25% of the
gross income over $1,160,000. The Registrant owns a 13.907% limited
partnership interest in XXI Office Plaza Associates, the partnership that was
formed to acquire the subject property. In addition, the Registrant owns 50

Limited Partnership ("M&J/Grove"). In addition, the Registrant owns seven units
(a 3.02% interest) in Wilkow/Grove Partners L.P., which has a 5.87% interest in

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 28.03%. 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 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 covering 28.41%, or
$1,562,500, of the mortgage loan was made by third parties on behalf of
M&J/Grove. The Registrant 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%

November 1, 1996, was restructured during September 1994. In conjunction with
the restructuring, the mortgage holder agreed to a $500,000 forgiveness of debt
in return for a principal payment of $500,000 for a total principal reduction
of $1,000,000. The debt forgiveness income of $500,000 is being amortized over

share of BSRT/M&J Northlake Limited Partnership ("BSRT/M&J"), which purchased a
leasehold interest in the Northlake Tower Festival Shopping Center for

to a $10,350,000 first mortgage loan bearing interest only at the fixed rate of
8.5% per annum for ten years. The shopping center, consisting of 303,956
square feet of improvements and five outlots, is located in Atlanta, Georgia.
In a related transaction, M&J/Retail loaned $83,212 to Northlake Tower
Corporation ("Tower Corporation"), a General Partner of both Tower and
BSRT/M&J. The loan is secured by Tower Corporation's partnership interests in
Tower and BSRT/M&J, and interest thereon will be paid from Tower Corporation's

partner, as aforesaid, in order to insulate M&J/Retail from personal liability.

ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - 1996 COMPARED TO 1995

For the year ended December 31, 1996, income from partnerships was $136,843
compared to $382,248 for the comparative period of 1995. The decrease in 1996
is primarily due to estimated losses on the disposition of Hawdel Limited
Partnership and M&J/Largo Limited Partnership.

For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Registrant loaned to investment
partnerships in which it has substantial equity interests the following
amounts:

The Northlake Tower Corporation unsecured promissory note bears interest at
prime and is due on demand. The Lake Cook notes bear interest at prime plus 2%
and are due on demand.

On January 18, 1996, Freeport Office Partners Limited sold the 8505 Freeport
Office Building for $8,503,150, resulting in full repayment of the $5,185,580
first mortgage and the $2,000,000 subordinated debenture. The Registrant
received approximately $600,000 as repayment of previous operating deficit
loans. A provision for loss in book value of $1,400,000, equal to the
estimated loss to the Registrant on the disposition of the property, was
recognized in 1995. An additional loss of $12,800 is included in 1996.

On July 1, 1996, the Registrant invested an additional $98,100 in M&J/Grove
Limited Partnership in connection with the purchase of 981 Call Units,
increasing its interest in the investment to 28.03%. 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
proceeds. 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 Limited Partnership 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 covering 28.41%, or $1,562,500, of the mortgage loan was made by third
parties on behalf of M&J/Grove Limited Partnership. The Registrant guaranteed
$520,833, an amount which approximates 28.41% of its ownership interest in
M&J/Grove Limited Partnership, exclusive of subordinated equity interests which
have no value.

On September 30, 1996, M&J/Sheridan Limited Partnership refinanced the Highland
Park Professional Center located at 1893 Sheridan Road in Highland Park,
Illinois. The term of the new loan, with a principal amount of $1,425,000, is
five years. Debt service reflects an interest rate of 8.88% per annum and
amortization based on 20 years.

On December 24, 1996, the Registrant sold 6.1 acres of land at Metro
Parkway/Colonial Boulevard in Fort Myers, Florida, for gross proceeds of
$1,329,830 and a gain of $150,200.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - 1995 COMPARED TO 1994

For the year ended December 31, 1995, income from partnerships was $382,248
compared to loss of $1,099,073 for the comparative period of 1994. The
increase is primarily due to gains on the partial disposition of M&J/Retail
Limited Partnership interest and the entire disposition of the First MW
Associates, S & S Venture and Second Chase Venture interests. The prior year
loss was due primarily to the loss on disposition of the North LaSalle Street
Limited Partnership interest.

For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Registrant loaned to investment
partnerships in which it has substantial equity interests and to a property in
which it held a co-tenancy ownership interest through June 30, 1995, the
following amounts:

promissory notes bear interest at prime and are due on demand. These loans
were repaid during March 1996.

On January 20, 1995, the Registrant entered into a revolving credit facility
with the LaSalle National Bank. The facility, due September 1, 1996, pays
interest at the prime rate per annum. Maximum borrowing under the facility
agreement is the lesser of $800,000 or 80% of the fair market value of the
Registrant's investment in Duke Realty Limited Partnership. As of December 31,
1995, the amount outstanding under this facility was $580,000, consisting of

facility are secured by the partnership units of Duke Realty Limited
Partnership owned by the Registrant.

which was sold on March 15, 1995. The Registrant received proceeds of $100,008

disposition of its 6.667% partnership in S & S Venture.

On July 1, 1995, the Registrant sold 300 Class A units of M&J/Retail Limited
Partnership ("M&J/Retail") for a total of $314,800, resulting in a gain of
$137,245 and reducing its ownership in this partnership from 56.97% to 52.75%.

22


On July 28, 1995, Freeport Office Partners Limited extended the $5,200,000 loan
held by Confederation Life for five years effective August 1, 1995. The
Registrant sold the Freeport Office building in January of 1996. A provision
for loss in book value of $1,400,000 equal to the estimated loss to the
Registrant on the disposition of the property is recognized in 1995.

On July 28, 1995, M&J/Retail, owned 52.75% by the Registrant, acquired a
majority interest in Northlake Tower Limited Partnership ("Tower"),
contributing $1,124,109 of a total initial capital requirement of $1,251,000,
with, potentially, an additional capital requirement of $124,000 to cover
unanticipated contingencies. Additional contributions of $25,532 made through
December 31, 1995, increased the total capital investment to $1,149,641. Tower
owns a 17.08% share of BSRT/M&J Northlake Limited Partnership ("BSRT/M&J"),
which purchased a leasehold interest in the Northlake Tower Festival Shopping
Center for $16,989,000 on July 28, 1995. The purchase of this property was
made subject to a $10,350,000 first mortgage loan bearing interest only at the
fixed rate of 8.5% per annum for ten years. The shopping center, consisting of
303,956 square feet of improvements and five outlots, is located in Atlanta,
Georgia. In a related transaction, M&J/Retail loaned $80,951 to Northlake
Tower Corporation ("Tower Corporation"), a General Partner of both Tower and
BSRT/M&J. The loan is secured by Tower Corporation's partnership interests in
Tower and BSRT/M&J, and interest thereon will be paid from Tower Corporation's
share of net cash flow.

On July 28, 1995, M&J/Retail refinanced a retail center located at Broadway and
Berwyn in Chicago, Illinois. The term of the new loan, with a principal amount
of $2,750,000, is five years. Debt service reflects an interest rate of 8.20%
per annum and amortization based on 25 years.

On August 24, 1995, the Registrant acquired a 59.44% undivided interest in the
209 W. Jackson building, a 144,608 square foot office building located in
downtown Chicago, in exchange for its 57.66% undivided interest in Tango Bay
Suites, a 260-unit all-suites hotel in Orlando, Florida. As part of this
transaction, Tango Bay Suites remains liable to the Registrant for loans
advanced to fund operating deficits. The 209 W. Jackson building is subject to
a first mortgage of $10,000,000 and an additional $4,213,875 note secured by
the first mortgage, both bearing interest only at General Electric Capital
Corporation's commercial paper rate plus 3.25% per annum. The Registrant
posted a letter of credit of $150,000 as a part of this transaction. Due to
the character of the investment, the Registrant is using the equity method to
account for its investment in 209 W. Jackson.

On October 27, 1995, M&J/Retail invested a total of $297,000 to acquire a
46.41% Class A interest in M&J/Crossroads Limited Partnership. The balance of
$303,000 of the total $600,000 required capital for Class A investors was also
financed by M&J/Retail, resulting in a receivable from the other investors for
their respective share of capital contributions. These loans were repaid to
M&J/Retail during March 1996.

For the year ended December 31, 1994, loss from partnerships was $1,099,073
compared to loss of $96,204 for the comparative period of 1993. The increase
is due primarily to loss on disposition of the North LaSalle Street Limited
Partnership interest.

partnerships in which it has substantial equity interests and to a property in
which it holds a co-tenancy ownership interest the following amounts:

promissory note bears interest at prime and is due on October 1, 1995. The
Tango Bay Suites - Co-Tenants unsecured promissory notes bear interest at 1%

On January 1, 1994, the Registrant's $327,827 loan receivable from Lake Cook,
Inc. was exchanged for a .4906% limited partnership interest in Lake Cook
Office Development - Building Four Limited Partnership.

During January 1994, the $2,000,000 of unsecured loans from the general
partners and other related individuals was repaid from proceeds of the
$2,362,500 mortgage on the Harlem North Shopping Center.

In September 1994, the Registrant restructured the mortgage loan secured by the
180 North Michigan Avenue Building. The mortgage holder agreed to a $500,000
forgiveness of debt in return for a $500,000 paydown of principal for a total
reduction in the principal balance of $1,000,000. The debt forgiveness income
of $500,000 is being amortized over the remaining term of the loan using the
effective interest method. The new mortgage loan with a principal balance of
$6,733,888 bears interest at 8.50% per annum and is due on September 1, 2001.

Buschwood Office Building, which was placed in receivership on July 25, 1994,
was foreclosed on December 12, 1994. As a result of the foreclosure, the total
assets of $7,447,498 and total liabilities of $7,635,069 were removed from the
accounts, resulting in a gain of $187,571.

On December 2, 1994, the Registrant redeemed its interest in three partnerships
for 50,251 limited partnership units in Duke Realty Limited Partnership which
will be convertible on a one-for-one basis to shares of common stock of Duke
Realty Investments, Inc., a real estate investment trust.

On December 31, 1994, the Registrant elected to transfer its partnership
interest in North LaSalle Street Limited Partnership for nominal consideration
to an unrelated third party resulting in a loss on disposition of $962,991.

On December 31, 1994, the Registrant sold its partnership interest in M&J/Fort
Myers Limited Partnership for nominal consideration.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On January 20, 1995, the Registrant entered into a revolving credit
facility with the LaSalle National Bank. The facility, due September 10, 1997,
pays interest at the prime rate. Maximum borrowings under the facility
agreement are the lesser of $800,000 or 80% of the fair market value of the
Registrant's investment in Duke Realty Limited Partnership (see Item 2).
Borrowings under the facility agreement are secured by the partnership units of
Duke Realty Limited Partnership owned by the Registrant.

As of December 31, 1996, the amounts outstanding under this facility are as
follows:



Cash borrowings $ -
Letters of credit:
Waterfall Plaza (expires 8/31/97) 80,000
209 W. Jackson (expires 8/31/97) 150,000
---------

Total Outstanding Amounts $230,000
=========



The liquid assets of the Registrant increased as of December 31, 1996,
when compared to December 31, 1995, due to proceeds from sale of real estate.
The General Partners currently believe that the amount of working capital
reserves, when considered with the Registrant's projected cash flows from
operations in 1997 and borrowings under the revolving credit facility, will be
sufficient to cover any normal cash or liquidity requirements which may be
reasonably foreseen.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994

1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the principal accounting policies followed by First Wilkow
Venture (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.
The Partnership had a 57.67% undivided interest in a hotel which was
accounted for using the proportionate consolidation method. The interest in
the hotel was exchanged in 1995 for an interest in a commercial property
which is being reported under the equity method of accounting. 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.

FIRST WILKOW VENTURE
(A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994

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 is being amortized as a reduction of interest
expense over the remaining term of the related loan using the effective
interest method.

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 the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

Financial Instruments - The Partnership has a number of financial
instruments, none of which are held for trading purposes. The Partnership
estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments at December
31, 1996, does not differ materially from the aggregate carrying values of
its financial instruments recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the
Partnership using available market information and appropriate valuation
methodologies. Considerable judgment is necessarily required in
interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value, and,
accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts
that the Partnership could realize in a current market exchange.

During the fourth quarter of 1996, the Partnership recognized write-downs
of $154,000 and $119,000 on its investments in Hawdel Limited
Partnership I and III and M&J/Largo Limited Partnership, respectively.
The amounts of the write-downs were based on estimated final cash
distributions from the proceeds of the sale of the underlying real
properties in 1997.

During the fourth quarter of 1995, the Partnership recognized a
$1,400,000 write-down on the Freeport Office building.

On December 31, 1994, the Partnership wrote off a loan receivable of
$113,663 as well as related accrued interest of $99,565 due from
M&J/Quorum Associates due to the fact that Crow-Commerce Park North
Retail, Ltd. was unable to finalize the terms of a loan extension
agreement with the mortgagee and was consequently foreclosed on in April
1995.

These provisions were based upon market conditions and estimated future
cash flows.


12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In January 1997, the Partnership made a distribution in the amount of
$357,944, or $2 per unit.

In January 1997, the property known as 2221 Camden Court Office Building
was sold for $11,750,000, resulting in repayment of Partnership loans
and an equity distribution of $690,360 to the Partnership. A provision
for loss in book value of $154,000, equal to the estimated loss to the
Partnership on the disposition of the investment, is recognized in 1996.

On February 12, 1997, Sun Pointe Place Limited Partnership sold a
140-unit apartment complex it developed and owned in Largo, Florida, for
$2,600,000. M&J/Largo Limited Partnership, in which the Partnership owns
a 91.12% interest, exercised its option to withdraw as a limited partner
of Sun Pointe Place Limited Partnership simultaneously with the sale of
the property, entitling it to all the available sale proceeds. The
Partnership anticipates receiving a final equity distribution from
M&J/Largo Limited Partnership of approximately $575,000. A provision for
loss in book value of $119,000, equal to the estimated loss to the
Partnership on the disposition of the investment, is recognized in 1996.
