                   Certified Public Accountant [LETTERHEAD]


To the Shareholders
Equity Growth Systems, inc.,
Port Charlotte, Florida 33952


I have compiled the accompanying balance sheet of Equity Growth Systems, inc.
as of March 31, 1996 and the related statements of income and retained earnings
and cash flows for the three months then ended, in accordance with Statements
on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

A compilation is limited to presenting in the form of financial statements
information that is the representation of management.  I have not audited or
reviewed the accompanying financial statements and, accordingly, do not express
an opinion or any other form of assurance on them.

The 1994 financial statements of Infotec, Inc. were audited by other
accountants, and they express an unqualified opinion on them in their report
dated April 17, 1995, but they have not performed any auditing procedures since
that date.

NOTE 13 - LEGAL MATTERS

           The Company is currently in default on a property in Kansas City.
The tenant submitted an irrevocable offer to purchase the property.  A formal
contract is being prepared and will be executed shortly.  The Company's legal
counsel has confirmed that the first mortgage holder has withheld any action to
foreclose the mortgage due to the pending sale which will satisfy all pending
liabilities.  At the time the sale is consummated the wrap mortgage asset will
be eliminated as well as the underlying liability.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

RESULTS OF OPERATION

         During the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Registrant reported
interest income of approximately $56,000 as compared to income from all sources
of $0 during the three months ended March 31, 1995.  This increase was
attributable to the Registrant's exchanging 1,616,000 shares of common stock in
payment for an indenture to trust and various wrap around mortgages subject to
the underlying mortgages, together with rights to related leases.

         During the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Registrant's cost of
revenue increased by approximately $50,000 over the three months ended March
31, 1995, representing costs associates with increased total revenues.  The
Registrant's cost of revenue increased primarily as a result of the increased
cost of managing the mortgages, mostly consisting of interest expenses incurred
in satisfying the underlying mortgages.  During the three month ended March 31,
1996, the Registrant recognized an approximate 4,500% increase in its general
and administrative expenses primarily resulting from the advent of interest
expenses associated with the assets acquired.

         During the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Registrant reported
a net loss of approximately $2,000 or $.00067 per share as compared to a net
loss approximately $1,000 or $.005 per share during the prior year end.  The
increase in losses resulted from expenses incurred to update the Registrant's
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and with expenses
associated with debt service on acquired assets.  The apparent reduction in
expenses on a per share basis is based on the fact that a substantially greater
number of shares were outstanding as of March 31, 1996.

LIQUIDATED CAPITAL RESOURCES

         As of March 31, 1996, the Registrant had a working capital position of
approximately ($412,000) as compared to a working capital position of
approximately ($125,000) for the three month ended March 31, 1995.  This
increase reflects the Registrant's acquisition of the previously discussed
,mortgages and leases.  To date, the cash flow generated from operations have
been adequate to meet the Registrant's mortgages obligations.  A shareholder
has been contributing funds to meet various general and administrative expenses
required to fulfill all of the Registrant's obligations.  No officer of the
Registrant has been receiving or accruing compensation at this time.

                          PART II  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         The Registrant is currently not a party to any legal proceedings.
Based on information available to the Registrant, it believes that there is a
potential for litigation involving:

         San Safe Associates limited partners (who have retained counsel to
assist them in removing an affiliate of the Registrant as general partner).
Management has retained legal counsel who is negotiating with counsel for the
limited partners on behalf of the Registrant and the general partner.  See Item
2,  Description of Properties - Investment Property -  A. Leases - Associated
Wholesale Grocers, Inc., Lease.

         The Registrant's predecessors in interest (the Milpitas partnerships)
entered into negotiations  with Exten Ventures, Inc., a Delaware corporation,
during 1990, for sale of the assets subsequently assigned to the Registrant.
The Milpitas Partnerships have advised the Registrant's management that the
transactions were never concluded due to the inability or refusal of Exten
Ventures, Inc., to comply with its commitments.  While management notes that
applicable status of limitation on any alleged transactions with Exten
Ventures, Inc., have probably expired, management cannot provide any assurances
that Exten Ventures, Inc., will not initiate litigation in the future.

         The Registrant has not made the final payments required under the
mortgage for its Kansas City property.  The tenant had a conditional right to
purchase such property and submitted an irrevocable offer to purchase, which
was to have been rejected by counsel representing the Registrant, however, such
counsel may have failed to take the steps required to effect such rejection.
Consequently, the Registrant and the tenant are currently in negotiation to
formalize terms of sale.  Legal counsel to the Registrant has advised
management that the mortgage holder has not initiated action to enforce the
mortgage based on its acknowledgment that the pending sale will generate
sufficient income to discharge the mortgage obligation.

         The Registrant has used its best efforts to obtain information
concerning the assets it obtained from Milpitas; however, much of the
information was under the control of Charles Schnepfe, Milpitas' accountant,
who served for material periods as its chief executive officer and as the
chairman of its board of directors.  Mr. Schnepfe refuses to provide any
information with respect to activities by Milpitas during the time it was under
his control, to the Registrant.  It is possible that the Registrant is unaware
of matters performed or ignored by Mr. Schnepfe which could prove material in
the future.

ITEM 3.  DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

         The Registrant has no senior securities.
