                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Drexel Burnham Lambert Real
Estate Associates (the "Partnership") have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulations S-B.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of DBL Properties Corporation ("DBL" or the "General Partner"),
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three
month period ended March 31, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1998.  For further
information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1997.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 balances to conform to the
1998 presentation.

NOTE B - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED PARTIES

The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the General Partner and its
affiliates for the management and administration of all partnership activities.
The Partnership Agreement provides for certain payments to affiliates for
services and as reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on
behalf of the Partnership.

On June 24, 1997, Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia"), a Delaware
corporation, and IFGP Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Insignia and a
Delaware corporation (collectively, the "Buyer"), entered into a Stock Purchase
Agreement (the "Agreement") with The Wynnewood Company, Inc., a New York
corporation ("Seller"), DBL, a New York corporation, and William Clements, an
individual and the owner of 100% of the capital stock of Seller.  The closing of
the transactions contemplated by the Agreement occurred on June 24, 1997 (the
"Closing").  At the Closing, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
Agreement, the Buyer acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of DBL.

Upon the Closing, the officers and directors of DBL resigned and Insignia caused
new officers and directors of this entity to be elected.

The following transactions with The Wynnewood Company during the three month
period ended March 31, 1997, and with affiliates of Insignia during the three
month period ended March 31, 1998, were incurred (in thousands):

                                                           1998     1997
Property management fees (included in operating
  expense)                                                 $  5     $  2
Reimbursement for services of affiliates (included in
  general and administrative expense)                         6       --


Prior to Insignia's affiliation on June 24, 1997, affiliates of Insignia
provided property management and partnership administrative services for the
Partnership.

On March 17, 1998, Insignia entered into an agreement to merge its national
residential property management operations, and its controlling interest in
Insignia Properties Trust ("IPT"), an affiliate of Insignia, with Apartment
Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate
investment trust.  The closing, which is anticipated to happen in the third
quarter of 1998, is subject to customary conditions, including government
approvals and the approval of Insignia's shareholders. If the closing occurs,
AIMCO will then control the General Partner.


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The Partnership's investment property, Wendover Business Park Phase I,
("Wendover"), is a commercial business park of approximately 68,000 square feet
located in Greensboro, North Carolina.  The average occupancy for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, was 90% and 85%, respectively.  The
increase in occupancy is the result of one tenant increasing its leased space by
3,510 square feet, approximately 5.1% of the property's leasable space, in the
first quarter of 1998.

The Partnership realized net losses of approximately $32,000 and $12,000 for the
three month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The increase
in net loss is primarily attributable to the increase in operating expenses.
Included in operating expense for the three month period ended March 31, 1998,
is approximately $32,000 of major repairs and maintenance, versus approximately
$3,000 for the corresponding period in 1997.  The 1998 costs consist of parking
lot repairs.  The 1997 costs consist mainly of plumbing repairs.  Partially
offsetting the increase in operating expense was an increase in rental income.
The increase in rental income is attributable to improved occupancy at the
property as discussed above.

As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the General Partner
monitors the rental market environment of the investment property to assess the
feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy levels and
protecting the Partnership from increases in expense.  As part of this plan, the
General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from the burden of
inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a
high overall occupancy level. However, due to changing market conditions, which
can result in the use of rental concessions and rental reductions to offset
softening market conditions, there is no guarantee that the General Partner will
be able to sustain such a plan.

At March 31, 1998, the Partnership held cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $103,000 as compared to approximately $141,000 at March 31, 1997.
The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents for the three month periods ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997, was approximately $26,000 and $114,000, respectively.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased primarily due to the timing
of payments on accounts payable.  Net cash used in investing activities declined
due to decreased spending on property improvements and replacements.  Net cash
used in financing activities remained consistent.

During 1997, management commenced with a major repair and maintenance project to
be completed over the next twelve months involving principally roof and parking
lot repairs.  Total costs are estimated to be approximately $88,000 of which
$50,000 has been authorized for the current fiscal year.  During the three
months ended March 31, 1998, approximately $32,000 was spent on parking lot
repairs.  During the three months ended March 31, 1997, there were no
expenditures related to the project.

The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital
expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital
expenditures required at the property to adequately maintain the physical assets
and other operating needs of the Partnership.  Such assets are currently thought
to be sufficient for any near-term needs of the Partnership.  The mortgage
indebtedness of approximately $1,218,000 requires monthly principal and interest
payments and requires a balloon payment on February 1, 2001, at which time the
property will either be refinanced or sold.  Future cash distributions will
depend on the levels of cash generated from operations, a property sale and the
availability of cash reserves.  No cash distributions were paid during the first
three months of 1998 and 1997.

Year 2000

The Partnership is dependent upon the General Partner and Insignia for
management and administrative services.  Insignia has completed an assessment
and will have to modify or replace portions of its software so that its computer
systems will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and
thereafter (the "Year 2000 Issue").  The project is estimated to be completed
not later than December 31, 1998, which is prior to any anticipated impact on
its operating systems.  The General Partner believes that with modifications to
existing software and conversions to new software, the Year 2000 Issue will not
pose significant operational problems for its computer systems. However, if such
modifications and conversions are not made, or are not completed timely, the
Year 2000 Issue could have a material impact on the operations of the
Partnership.
