PART I

ITEM 1 - BUSINESS

ORGANIZATION

First Wilkow Venture (the "Registrant") is a limited partnership
composed of 409 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 43 and ancillary clerical, office and maintenance staff of approximately 117.

The Registrant employs approximately five 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,
1998, there are 31 properties in which the Registrant has interests, divided
among residential, commercial and industrial buildings, shopping centers, and
undeveloped land. Twenty-six 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: two are residential projects; fifteen
are shopping centers; six are office buildings; one is a real estate investment
trust; one is undeveloped land; and one is a hotel.

The remaining five properties are owned and operated by the
Registrant. Two are office buildings, and three are shopping centers.

CHANGES IN PROPERTIES

During the calendar year ended December 31, 1998, certain of the

below:

(a) Purchases:

On April 8, 1998, the Registrant invested $415,000 in M&J/Clarkfair
Limited Partnership, which has a 9% interest in Clarkfair LLC. Clarkfair LLC is
the sole owner of two limited liability companies, namely Marketfair North LLC
and Shops at Clark's Pond LLC, which were formed to acquire the following
described properties:

Marketfair North - a 136,989 square foot shopping center
in Clay, New York
Shops at Clark's Pond - a 208,325 square foot 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, 1998:

PROPERTIES INVOLVING NET LEASES

23 EAST FLAGLER, MIAMI, FLORIDA

The property is a three-story commercial building located in downtown
Miami, Florida. On July 6, 1998, the property was sold to G.S. Holding Company
of South Florida for net cash proceeds of $1,827,048, resulting in a gain on
sale of $1,363,791, classified as other income on the consolidated statement of
operations.

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 December 31, 2002, respectively, and bearing interest at 7% and 4.96%,
respectively, per annum.

PROPERTIES INVOLVING PARTICIPATIONS

FIRST RON VENTURE (APOLLO APARTMENTS)

The Apollo Apartments consist of 256 units (128 one-bedroom and 128
two-bedroom) built on 10 acres of land on Britton Road in Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma. The project is owned by Apollo Associates, a limited partnership of
which First Ron Venture, a joint venture, owns 38%. The Registrant has a
one-third interest in First Ron Venture. The Registrant paid $260,000 for its
interest in May 1978. The limited partners are

entitled to a cash flow priority of 9% per annum. The Registrant also acquired
10 limited partnership units (3.831% interest) in First Apollo Associates, which
has a one-third interest in First Ron Venture.

The property was acquired with a $2,150,000 first mortgage bearing
interest at 8-3/4% per annum. In December 1987, the mortgage was purchased by
McKinley Associates, an affiliate of the general partner of Apollo Associates.
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.

The property was sold on February 25, 1999. The Registrant will not
receive any proceeds since the outstanding indebtedness on the property is in
excess of the sales price.

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.

The Registrant on April 15, 1997, converted 25,000 units in Duke Realty
Limited Partnership to 25,000 shares of common stock of Duke 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 Realty Limited Partnership being issued to
the Registrant. The Registrant thus held 50,502 units in Duke Realty Limited
Partnership at December 31, 1998.

in Rosemont 28 Limited Partnership, which owns 11.25 acres of unimproved land
held for development in Orlando, Florida. Additional investments of $471,682
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.

XXI OFFICE PLAZA ASSOCIATES (CENTURY XXI OFFICE BUILDING)

Century XXI Office Plaza is an office complex built in 1971-1973, which is
located in Germantown, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C. The property
consists of three separate office buildings and a connecting five-level parking
deck, on a site in excess of six acres. The office buildings have a total
leasable area of 179,385 square feet. The property has two 30-year mortgages
from Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America in the combined
original principal amount of $5,500,000. During December 1996, one of the
mortgages was repaid. The mortgagee, in addition to the 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 units (an 8.28% interest) in 21st M&J Venture,
which has a 16% interest in XXI Office Plaza Associates and 35 units (a 7.59%
interest) in Orhow Associates, which has a 12.2% interest in XXI Office Plaza
Associates.

representing the Registrant's share of the $200,000 in partner loans needed for
capital improvements. The notes bear interest at prime and will be due December
31, 1999.

On January 6, 1999, a repayment of the first mortgage occurred. The
payment of the outstanding balance of $1,902,315 along with a prepayment premium
of $19,023 and contingent interest of $611,855 was facilitated by a $2,585,875
capital call to the partners. The Registrant's share of that capital call was
$359,625.

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 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 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.

letters of credit totaling $500,000 as additional collateral with the mortgagee
of Marketfair North. These letters of credit, which expire on March 16, 1999,
renew automatically until the underlying obligations are satisfied. The general
partner of M&J/Clarkfair Limited Partnership has indemnified M&J/Retail for 10%,
or $50,000, of these letters of credit. In the event that the mortgagee is
entitled to liquidate the letters of credit, M&J/Retail will be required to fund

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - 1998 COMPARED TO 1997

For the year ended December 31, 1998, income from partnerships was $518,297
compared to $1,823,711 for the comparative period of 1997. The decrease in 1998
is primarily due to the gain on the sale of Duke Realty Limited Partnership
units and the income generated by the Northlake Tower Limited Partnership
refinancing. Both events occurred in 1997.

For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Registrant loaned to investment
partnerships in which it has substantial equity interests the following amounts:

On January 10, 1998, the Registrant made a distribution in the amount of
$42,729, or $.25 per unit.

On April 8, 1998, M&J/Retail Limited Partnership acquired a 64.95% investment in
M&J/Clarkfair Limited Partnership, which has a 9% interest in Clarkfair LLC.
Clarkfair LLC is the sole owner of two limited liability companies, namely
Marketfair North LLC and Shops at Clark's Pond LLC, which were formed to acquire
the following described properties:



Marketfair North - a 136,989 square foot shopping center in
Clay, New York

Shops at Clark's Pond - a 208,325 square foot shopping center in
South Portland, Maine

M&J/Retail Limited Partnership's interest is based on a capital contribution of
$415,000 funded as




As of March 31, 1998 $ 75,000
At the April 8, 1998, closing 84,928
May 13, 1998, funding 155,072
November 24, 1998, funding 100,000
----------
Total Initial Capital $ 415,000
==========



In addition to the above cash contributions, M&J/Retail Limited Partnership has
posted two letters of credit totaling $500,000 as additional collateral with the
mortgagee of Marketfair North. These letters of credit, which expire on March
16, 1999, renew automatically until the underlying obligations are satisfied.
The general partner of M&J/Clarkfair Limited Partnership has indemnified
M&J/Retail Limited Partnership for 10%, or $50,000, of these letters of credit.
In the event that the mortgagee is entitled to liquidate the letters of credit,
M&J/Retail Limited Partnership will be required to fund $450,000 of the
obligation. At that time, M&J/Retail Limited Partnership's interest in
M&J/Clarkfair Limited Partnership will increase from 64.95% to 82.74%.

On April 10, 1998, the Registrant made a distribution in the amount of $230,737,
or $1.35 per unit.

On April 10, 1998, the Registrant invested $64,000 to obtain a 26.44% ownership
in M&J/Eden Prairie Limited Partnership, which has a 10% interest in Eden
Prairie LLC, which acquired a 70,689 square foot shopping center in Eden
Prairie, Minnesota.

The existing mortgages in the amounts of $1,997,870, $1,316,725 and $1,135,099,
respectively, were paid off, resulting in net refinancing proceeds of $54,621.
By virtue of these refinancings, the aggregate annual debt service will be
reduced from $475,464 to $391,488.

On May 22, 1998, the Registrant made a loan of $125,175 to Arlington LLC. On

$150,688, respectively, were made, for a total loan receivable of $1,001,118.
The loan proceeds were used to facilitate the purchase of contiguous land
parcels adjacent to a shopping center in Arlington Heights, Illinois. Once the
required land is assembled, the shopping center will be expanded and
redeveloped, and the Registrant's loan will be converted to an equity position.

On June 8, 1998, a property owned by the Registrant, Naperville Office Court in
Naperville, Illinois, was refinanced with Column Financial. 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.

& North shopping center in Oak Park, Illinois, was refinanced. The principal

of $440,500.

For the year ended December 31, 1997, income from partnerships was $1,823,771
compared to $136,843 for the comparative period of 1996. The increase in 1997 is

On July 1, 1996, the Registrant invested an additional $98,100 in M&J/Grove

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

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

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 1, 1999,
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 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, 1998, the amounts outstanding under this facility are
as follows:




Cash borrowings $ -
Letters of credit:

----------
Total Outstanding Amounts $ 625,000
==========


The liquid assets of the Registrant increased as of December 31, 1998,
when compared to December 31, 1997, due to proceeds from sale of 23 East
Flagler.

The General Partners currently believe that the amount of working capital
reserves, when considered with the Registrant's projected cash flows from
operations in 1999 and borrowings under the revolving credit facility, will be
sufficient to cover any normal cash or liquidity requirements which may be
reasonably foreseen.

index at Item 14 on Page 65. These 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

We conducted our audits in accordance with 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, 1998 and 1997, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.


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

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. 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.

The Partnership is working to resolve the potential impact of
the year 2000 on the ability of the Partnership's computerized
information systems to accurately process information that may
be date-sensitive. Any of the Partnership's programs that
recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the
year 2000 could result in error or system failures. The
Partnership utilizes a number of computer programs across its
entire operation. The Partnership has not completed its
assessment but currently believes that costs of addressing
this will not have a material adverse impact on the
Partnership's financial position. However, no estimates can be
made as to the potential adverse impact resulting from the
failure of third-party service providers and vendors to
prepare for the year 2000. The Partnership is attempting to
identify those risks as well as to receive compliance
certificates from all third parties that have a material
impact on the Partnership's operations.

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 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.
