                                     PART I

ITEM 1 - BUSINESS

ORGANIZATION

       First Wilkow Venture (the "Registrant") is a limited partnership composed
of 416 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, 1997, 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: three are residential projects;
fourteen are shopping centers; six are office buildings; one is a real estate
investment trust; one is undeveloped land; and one is a hotel.

                                                                              2

       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, 1997, certain of the property
investments held by the Registrant underwent the changes described below:

    (a)  Purchases:

            On August 26, 1997, the Registrant invested $70,000 in M&J/Mid Oak
Limited Partnership, which has a 9% interest in Mid Oak Plaza LLC, which
acquired a 77,942 square foot shopping center in Midlothian, Illinois.

            On October 8, 1997, the Registrant invested $200,000 in M&J/Hotel
Investors Limited Partnership, which acquired a 164-room hotel in the greater
Orlando area, three miles from the main entrance at Walt Disney World.

    (b)  Sales:

            On January 16, 1997, the property known as 2221 Camden Court Office
Building was sold for $11,750,000, resulting in repayment of Registrant loans
and an equity distribution of $690,360 to the Partnership. A provision for loss
in book value of $154,000, equal to the ultimate loss to the Registrant on the
disposition of the investment, was 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, which 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 Registrant received an equity
distribution from M&J/Largo Limited Partnership of $615,384, resulting in a loss
on disposition of $78,843. A provision for loss in book value equal to the
estimated loss on the transaction of $119,000 was recognized in 1996, and a gain
of $40,157 was recognized in 1997.

            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.

                                                                              3

    (d)  Declined Purchases:

            None



                                                                              4

<PAGE>   5



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.

                                                                              5

ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES

       The Registrant has an ownership interest in the following properties as
of December 31, 1997:

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.

       Per the terms of the settlement, the Registrant received $45,645,
representing rent for the months of February, March and April 1997 at $8,000 per
month and real estate taxes on the premises for January, February, March and
April 1997 based on an annual real estate tax bill of $64,935 ($5,411 per
month). In August 1997, McCrory Corporation reimbursed the Registrant $72,306
towards repairs and improvements to the building while it was an occupant.

    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

                                                                               6

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.

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

       The Registrant had invested a total of $1,320,000 representing an 18.03%
interest in Hawdel Limited Partnership I and III, which owned the 2221 Camden
Court Office Building located in Oak Brook, Illinois. The property contains
100,796 net rentable square feet of prime office space.


                                                                               7

<PAGE>   8



       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 a loss on
disposition of $154,000. A provision for loss in book value equal to the
estimate of $154,000 was 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 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
received a final equity distribution from M&J/Largo Limited Partnership of
$615,384, resulting in a loss on disposition of $78,843. A provision for loss in
book value equal to the estimated loss on the transaction of $119,000 was
recognized in 1996, and a gain of $40,157 was recognized in 1997.

    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.

                                                                               8

<PAGE>   9



       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, 1997.

    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 $467,786 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.

       During September 1994, the Registrant made an unsecured loan for $27,814
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.

                                                                               9

<PAGE>   10



    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 L.P., 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 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% per annum, payable
quarterly.


                                                                              10

which owns Dover Farms Apartments, a 300 unfurnished one- and two-bedroom

on November 1, 1996, was restructured during September 1994. In conjunction with

ownership in this partnership from 56.97% to 52.75%.

       On July 28, 1995, M&J/Retail acquired a majority interest in Northlake
Tower Limited Partnership ("Tower") by contributing $1,112,677 of initial
capital. Additional contributions through December 31, 1997, of $116,837

Partner of both Tower and BSRT/M&J. At December 31, 1997, the amount outstanding
was $4,420. 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. Tower Corporation was organized to act as general
partner, as aforesaid, in order to insulate M&J/Retail from personal liability.

       On October 27, 1995, M&J/Retail invested a total of $297,000 to acquire a

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - 1997 COMPARED TO 1996

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
primarily due to gains on the disposition of M&J/Largo Limited Partnership and
Duke Realty Investments, Inc. and income recognized on the distribution from
Northlake Tower Limited Partnership.

For the year ended December 31, 1997, the Registrant loaned to investment
partnerships in which it has substantial equity interests the following amounts:

For the year ended December 31, 1996, income from partnerships was $136,843

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.

Park Professional Center located at 1893 Sheridan Road in Highland Park,

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

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

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.




                                                                              25

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, 1998,
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, 1997, the amounts outstanding under this facility are
 as follows:

</TABLE>


       The liquid assets of the Registrant increased as of December 31, 1997,
when compared to December 31, 1996, due to proceeds from sale of partnership
investments.

       The General Partners currently believe that the amount of working capital
reserves, when considered with the Registrant's projected cash flows from
operations in 1998 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
listed in the index to the consolidated financial statements set forth on Page
27. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the
index at Item 14 on Page 68. 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
statements based on our audits.

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, 1997 and 1996, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, 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. 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.


                                                                              34

         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.


2 -   DEPRECIATION

      Depreciation is based on the method and estimated useful life of the
      respective assets as follows:

     Associates, which owns an apartment complex in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
     Although First Ron Venture is entitled to a cumulative annual priority

     to make distributions. The investment is being carried at zero. On December
     31, 1993, the Partnership acquired a 3.831% interest in First Apollo

     February 12, 1997, for $2,600,000. Simultaneous with the sale, M&J/Largo
     Limited Partnership exercised its put to Sun Pointe Place Limited
     Partnership, resulting in all net sale proceeds being allocated to
     M&J/Largo Limited Partnership. The Partnership received a final equity
     distribution from M&J/Largo Limited Partnership of $615,384, resulting in a
     gain on disposition of $40,157. A provision for loss in book value of

     matures January 1, 1999. On December 31, 1993, the Partnership sold its 99%
     interest in M&J/Harlem Mortgage Limited Partnership to M&J/Retail for
     $3,150,000.

     On July 28, 1995, M&J/Retail acquired a majority interest in Northlake
     Tower Limited Partnership ("Tower"), contributing $1,112,667 of initial
     capital. Additional contributions of $116,837 were made through December
     31, 1997, increasing the total capital investment to $1,229,514. 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. On
     November 18, 1997, this loan was refinanced with a first mortgage of
     $17,600,000 with principal and interest payments based on a 30-year
     amortization and an interest rate of 7.64%. A portion of the refinancing
     proceeds were used to make distributions to the partners of BSRT/ M&J, with
     M&J/Retail ultimately receiving a distribution of $1,166,745. 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 (see Note 4). 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 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 as of
     December 31, 1995 (see Note 4). These receivables were repaid in full
     during 1996. As a result of a refinancing of the first mortgage loan on
     December 31, 1997, M&J/Retail received a distribution on January 10, 1998,
     of $501,065.

     The financial position and results of operations at December 31, 1997, are
     included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
