                                  THE ANDERSONS
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note A  -   In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of
            normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of
            the results of operations for the periods indicated have been
            made.

            The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
            statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
            financial statements and notes thereto included in the
            Partnership's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
            December 31, 1993.

Note B  -   No provision has been made for federal income taxes on the
            Partnership's net income since such amounts are includable in the
            federal income tax returns of its partners.

            Provision for federal income taxes is made on the net income or
            loss of the Partnership's corporate subsidiaries, but is
            insignificant.

Note C  -   The Partnership Agreement reflects each partner's invested capital
            as of the beginning of each year.  Partners' capital used in
            determining the allocation of net income per $1,000 of partners'
            capital is weighted to reflect cash distributions made to partners
            during the year.  The indicated allocations for the three-month
            and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 are the
            allocations which would have been made had such periods
            constituted an entire fiscal year.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

    Working capital totalled $47 million at both September 30, 1994 and
December 31, 1993.  However, as is typical in the grain industry,
significant decreases occurred in the current assets and current liabilities
of the Partnership during this time period.  Grain inventories and payables
are generally at a high point on December 31, following the fall harvest,
and the balances at September 30 are generally much lower prior to the
upcoming fall harvest.  Grain receivable balances are also generally higher
at December 31 than September 30.  As a result of higher accounts
receivables and inventories at the end of the year, short-term borrowings
are generally higher at the end of the year than at September 30.

    Partners' capital totaled $61 million at September 30, 1994, up $5.7
million from December 31, 1993.  Increases include net income of $9.7
million and new equity of $734,000, received at the beginning of the year. 
Decreases to partners' capital include distributions to partners of $4.2
million and equity withdrawals of $604,000.  A quarterly cash distribution
of approximately $235,000 is expected to be paid in December and a quarterly
tax distribution of approximately $490,000 is expected to be paid in January
1995.  The cash and tax distributions are discretionary and can be
discontinued or eliminated if operating results are insufficient to warrant
payment.  Further withdrawals of capital in 1994 are not expected to be
significant. 

    Capital expenditures have totalled $23 million in the first nine months
of 1994 and are expected to be approximately $3 million in the last quarter. 
Included in the expenditures incurred to date is the purchase of two general
stores that had previously been leased and the construction of a raw
material pre-processing and storage facility for corncobs.  Committed
expenditures in the last quarter include $1 million for the purchase of
three agricultural products facilities subject to a lease expiring during
the year.  To fund the capital expenditures, the Partnership assumed a $5.2
million note payable in the purchase of one of the general stores.  In
addition, the Partnership issued a note payable of $15 million.

    The Partnership is currently offering Five-Year and Ten-Year debentures
for sale.  Through November 1, 1994, the Partnership sold $1.6 million of
the new debentures.  The remaining proceeds to be realized in 1994 from the
sale of the debentures is unknown since the offering is not underwritten. 
The Partnership recently called for redemption as of November 1, 1994,
outstanding debentures totalling $2.2 million. 

    At September 30, 1994, the Partnership's $10 million long-term
revolving line of credit was available for use.  Short-term lines of credit
currently total $202 million and the borrowing against these lines totalled
$53.9 million at September 30, 1994.  The highest borrowing against the
short-term lines was $127.6 million and occurred in January.  The
Partnership's liquidity is enhanced by the fact that grain inventories are
readily marketable.  In management's opinion, the Partnership's liquidity is
adequate to meet short-term and long-term needs.

    The Partnership hedges virtually all of its fixed price grain purchases
and sales transactions through the use of futures contracts with the Chicago
Board of Trade.  The Partnership's hedging program is designed to reduce the
risk of changing grain prices.  Hedging transactions limit the potential
gains and losses from market price changes of the grain commodities.

Results of Operations:

Three Months Ended September 30, 1994 and 1993:

    The Partnership experienced a net loss in the third quarter of 1994 of
$2.4 million, compared to a loss of $600,000 in the third quarter of 1993. 
Sales and merchandising revenues were up $16.7 million and gross profit was
up $2.1 million.  Interest expense was up $535,000, due to higher interest
rates and an increase in both short-term and long-term borrowings. 
Operating, administrative and general expenses were up $3.5 million, with
approximately 65% of the increase coming from expanded operations including
a general store opened in the fall of 1993 and additional agricultural
facilities leased during the year.

    Sales in the grain area were $101 million in the third quarter of 1994,
up $4 million from a year ago.  The average selling price was $2.93 per
bushel compared to $2.91 per bushel in the third quarter of last year. 
Bushels sold increased by 3%.  Margins on grain sales were up from a year
ago resulting in an increase in gross profit on grain sales of about 50%. 
Merchandising revenues were down $3.4 million led by a $2.8 million decrease
in basis and spreads.  During the quarter the basis (the difference between
the Chicago Board of Trade cash grain market price and the local cash grain
market price) for wheat and corn decreased.  The wheat basis dropped
dramatically due to the unexpected large crop of soft red wheat in the
eastern corn belt, and the slow export program of wheat from the United
States as world wheat prices climbed steadily in the third quarter.  The
corn basis dropped in the third quarter when bad weather in June turned to
good weather and projections for the new corn crop increased substantially. 
The pending huge new crop caused increased sales of the old corn crop,
pushing the basis lower.  Drying and mixing income decreased in the third
quarter of 1994.  The poor quality of the 1993 wheat crop resulted in higher
drying and mixing income in the third quarter of last year than that
experienced this year.  Gross profit in the grain area was down $1.6 million
as a result of the decrease in merchandising revenues. 

    In the agricultural products area, sales were $22.5 million, up $7
million from a year ago as a result of a 66% increase in wholesale sales. 
Retail sales were down 25%.  Average wholesale fertilizer selling prices
were up 10% and volume was up 50%.  Margins on wholesale sales were also up
resulting in a gross profit increase of $750,000 or about 45%.

    Sales in the retail area were $39.5 million in the third quarter of
1994 compared to $33.7 million in the same period last year.  The Lima, Ohio
store opened in the fourth quarter of 1993 accounted for $3.3 million of the
sales increase while sales in the Columbus market were up 10% and sales in
the Toledo market were up 2%.  As a result of the sales increase and an
increase in margins, gross profit in the retail area was up $2.1 million, a
23% increase.

    Sales of lawn care products were $9.5 million, up $1.3 million from the
third quarter of last year.  Tons sold increased by 9%, while average
selling prices were about the same.  Gross profit was up 24%, due to the
volume increase.  In the industrial products area sales were up 6% and gross
profit was up 5%.  In the other businesses of the Partnership, sales and
gross profit were up.


Nine Months Ended September 30, 1994 and 1993:

    Net income in the first nine months of 1994 was $9.7 million, compared
to $5 million in the same period last year.  Sales and merchandising
revenues were up $138 million and gross profit was up $15 million, an 18%
increase.  Interest expense was up $1.6 million, as both short-term and
long-term borrowings have increased and interest rates have also increased. 
Operating, administrative and general expenses were up $8.8 million, with
approximately 70% of the increase coming from expanded operations.

    Sales in the grain area were $322 million in the first nine months of
1994, up $81 million from a year ago.  The average selling price was $3.48
per bushel up from $2.95 per bushel a year ago.  The number of bushels sold
increased by about 13% and the margins on grain sales also increased. 
Merchandising revenues were down $2.7 million from last year.  The decrease
in basis as noted above in the discussion for the third quarter, resulted in
significant decrease in basis income for the first nine months of 1994. 
Drying and mixing income has been below 1993 levels all year long.  High
moisture in the 1992 corn crop resulted in higher than normal drying and
mixing income in 1993.  Storage income was up in the first nine months of
1994.  Gross profit from the grain area was the same as last year. 

    In the agricultural products area, sales were $103 million, up $26
million from a year ago.  Wholesale sales of fertilizer products were up
$18.7 million, as volume was up 23% and average selling prices were up 6%. 
Margins were also up in the first nine months of 1994. Retail sales were up
$7.7 million from a year ago.  Gross profit in the agricultural products
area was up in the first nine months of 1994 by $6.3 million, an increase of
50%.  About one half of the gross profit increase was the result of the
liquidation in 1994 of phosphate inventories purchased in 1993 when the
market price of phosphate was depressed.  In 1994 the market price of
phosphate appreciated significantly and the Partnership liquidated its
inventory.  The increase in wholesale sales and margins and the increase in
retail sales also contributed to the gross profit increase.

    Sales in the retail area were $122 million in the first nine months of
1994 compared to $104 million last year.  Sales in the Columbus market were
up 9% and sales in the Toledo market were up about 2%.  The Lima, Ohio store
opened in the fourth quarter of last year accounted for $10 million of the
sales increase.  As a result of the sales increase and an increase in
margins, gross profit in the retail area was up $6.4 million or 22%.

    Sales of lawn care products were $42 million, up $8 million from the
first nine months of last year.  Tons sold increased by 26%, while average
selling prices decreased by 5%.  Gross profit was up $2 million, due to the
volume increase as margins were down.  In the industrial products area sales
were the same as last year and gross profit was down 6%.  In the other
businesses, sales and gross profit were up.
