                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  JUNE 30, 1999



NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        GENERAL

        The information contained in the following notes to the financial
        statements is condensed from that which would appear in the annual
        audited financial statements; accordingly, the financial statements
        included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial
        statements and related notes thereto contained in the annual report for
        the year ended December 31, 1998 filed by Real Equity Partners (the
        "Partnership"). National Partnership Investments Corp. ("NAPICO") is the
        corporate general partner of the Partnership. Accounting measurements at
        interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at
        year end. The results of operations for the interim periods presented
        are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

        In the opinion of the general partners of the Partnership, the
        accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments
        (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present
        fairly the financial position of the Partnership as of June 30, 1999,
        and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the six and
        three months then ended.

        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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses
        during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
        estimates.

        RENTAL PROPERTIES AND DEPRECIATION

        On February 17, 1999, the Partnership sold its properties to JH Real
        Estate Partners, Inc. for a price of $31,900,000. The sale resulted in
        cash proceeds to the Partnership of $16,889,125 and a gain of
        $13,951,580, including an adjustment to the gain of $935,000 during the
        three months ended June 30, 1999. The Partnership made cash
        distributions of $15,004,986 to the limited partners and $166,567 to the
        general partner during 1999. There are no remaining rental properties
        owned by the Partnership, therefore no rental property cost and
        accumulated depreciation are included in the June 30, 1999 financial
        statements.

        NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST

        Net income per limited partnership interest was computed by dividing the
        limited partners' share of net income by the number of limited
        partnership interests outstanding during the year. The number of limited
        partnership interests was 30,000 for the periods presented.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                                  JUNE 30, 1999



NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

        CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

        Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank certificates of
        deposit with an original maturity of three months or less. The
        Partnership has its cash and cash equivalents on deposit primarily with
        one high credit quality financial institution. Such cash and cash
        equivalents are in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.

        IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        The Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
        121, Accounting for the Improvement of Long-Lived Assets and for
        Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of as of January 1, 1996 without a
        significant effect on its financial statements. The Partnership reviews
        long-lived assets to determine if there has been any permanent
        impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
        carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the
        expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the
        assets, the Partnership recognizes an impairment loss.

NOTE 2 - INCOME TAXES

        No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying
        financial statements as such taxes, if any, are the liability of the
        individual partners.

NOTE 3 - FEES AND EXPENSES DUE GENERAL PARTNER

        The Partnership had entered into agreements with an affiliate of NAPICO
        to manage the operations of the rental properties. The agreements were
        on a month-to-month basis and provided, among other things, for a
        management fee equal to 5 percent of gross rentals and other collections
        plus reimbursement of certain expenses. Management fees charged to
        operations under the agreements were approximately $44,000 through
        February 17, 1999, the date the properties were sold, and $125,000 for
        the six months ended June 30, 1998.

        Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is
        obligated to NAPICO for a deferred acquisition fee. This fee is for
        services rendered in connection with the selection, purchase,
        acquisition, development, and monitoring the operations of its
        properties. Distribution of any part of this from net cash from
        operations was subordinated to receipt by each Limited Partner of an
        amount equal to a cumulative non-compounded 6 percent annual
        distribution with respect to the adjusted capital value (as defined in
        the Partnership Agreement). Using proceeds from the sale of the
        properties, the deferred acquisition fee of $783,200 was paid to NAPICO
        in 1999.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                                  JUNE 30, 1999



NOTE 3 - FEES AND EXPENSES DUE GENERAL PARTNER (CONTINUED)

        The Partnership reimburses NAPICO for certain expenses. The
        reimbursement paid to NAPICO was $0 and $6,301 for the six months ended
        June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and is included in general and
        administrative expenses.

NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        The corporate general partner of the Partnership is involved in various
        lawsuits arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business.
        In the opinion of management and the corporate general partner, the
        claims will not result in any material liability to the Partnership.

NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosure about
        Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of fair value
        information about financial instruments, when it is practicable to
        estimate that value. One of the mortgage notes payable is insured by HUD
        and is secured by a rental property. The operations generated by the
        property are subject to various government rules, regulations and
        restrictions which make it impracticable to estimate the fair value of
        this mortgage note payable. The book values of all other debt
        instruments approximate their fair values because the interest rates of
        these instruments are comparable to rates currently offered to the
        Partnership. The carrying amount of other assets and liabilities
        reported on the balance sheets that require such disclosure approximates
        fair value due to their short-term maturity.

                                  JUNE 30, 1999



ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        The Partnership was formed to invest in residential rental properties
        either directly or through investments in joint ventures and other
        partnerships which will invest in such real estate. The Partnership
        acquired 6 buildings at various dates during 1984 and 1985. One of the
        buildings was foreclosed in 1996. On February 17, 1999, the remaining
        properties were sold to JH Real Estate Partners, Inc. for $31,900,000.

        The Partnership's primary sources of funds are income from rental
        operations and interest income earned on cash reserves.

        Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, cash available for
        distribution is to be allocated 90 percent to the limited partners as a
        group and 10 percent to the general partners. Distributions of net cash
        from operations were normally intended to be made to the partners of
        record on a quarterly basis during the months of February, May, August,
        and November pro rata in proportion to the number of units held. From
        November 1994 through May 1996, distributions to the partners were not
        made due to the Partnership setting aside funds for losses incurred by
        REP as a result of the January 17, 1994 Northridge Earthquake. The
        Partnership made distributions in the amount of $15,171,553 to the
        partners during the six months ended June 30, 1999.

        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        There are no remaining rental properties owned by the Partnership,
        therefore no rental property cost and accumulated depreciation are
        included in the June 30, 1999 financial statements.

        The Partnership operations consist primarily of rental income and
        depreciation expense, debt service, and normal operating expenses to
        maintain the properties until the date of disposition, and interest
        income earned on certificates of deposit and other temporary investments
        of funds not required for investment in projects. The amount of interest
        income varies with market rates available on certificates of deposit and
        with the amount of funds available for investment.

        Operating expenses of the Partnership consist substantially of recurring
        general and administrative expenses and professional fees for services
        rendered to the Partnership and interest on the deferred acquisition fee
        due the General Partners.

        Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is
        obligated to NAPICO for a deferred acquisition fee. This fee is for
        services rendered in connection with the selection, purchase,
        acquisition, development, and monitoring the operations of its
        properties. Distribution of any part of this from net cash from
        operations shall be subordinated to receipt by each Limited Partner of
        an amount equal to a cumulative non-compounded 6 percent annual
        distribution with respect to the adjusted capital value (as defined in
        the Partnership Agreement). Using the proceeds from the sale of the
        properties, the deferred acquisition fee of $783,200 was paid to NAPICO
        in 1999.
