PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS - Florida Income Fund, L.P., (the Partnership)
is an Iowa Limited Partnership formed as of March 1984, for the purpose of
investing in a diversified portfolio of income-producing commercial and
residential real estate properties primarily located in Southwest Florida. The
Partnership's primary objectives are to preserve and protect the Partnership's
original capital, provide distributable cash, a portion of which may constitute
nontaxable income, obtain capital appreciation through increases in value of
Partnership properties, and realize capital gains from the sale of Partnership
properties.
There can be no assurance that these objectives will be achieved. The
achievement of these objectives depends on many factors, including principally
the ability of the Managing General Partner to select suitable properties
(completed) at favorable prices and the successful management of those
properties. The General Partners of the Partnership are Mariner Capital
Management, Inc., a Florida corporation (Managing General Partner or Mariner)
and MCD Real Estate, Inc., an Ohio corporation. The primary market is
Southwest Florida. The partnership invested in several properties in order to
achieve a measure of diversification. The Partnership's original intent was to
hold these properties as long-term investments. The Managing General Partner
has chosen to invest primarily in Southwest Florida because of its experience
in dealing in real estate in this area. Southwest Florida offers, in
management's opinion, a competitive but growing market in which to meet its
performance objectives.
On March 28, 1984, a registration statement on Form S-18 for an offering of
5,000 units of limited partnership interest at $1,000 per unit became effective
with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (File No. 2-88845-A).
McDonald and Company Securities, Inc., an affiliate of MCD Real Estate, Inc.,
one of the General Partner's, acted as the Managing Dealer for the offering,
which ended July 8, 1984, when all units were sold.
The Partnership itself has no executive officers as employees. The Managing
General Partner, which has responsibility for the management of the
Partnership, has assigned certain individuals to devote as much time to the
operations of the Partnership as deemed necessary. All these individuals serve
the Partnership on a part-time basis. The Managing General Partner is also a
General Partner in several other public and private limited partnerships
engaged in similar activities.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Partnership has acquired four properties which it continues to hold and
operate. These four properties are: (1) Edison Square Shopping Center, acquired
on October 19, 1984; (2) Corporate Office Park, acquired April 15, 1985; (3)
Gallery Motel, acquired June 27, 1985; (4) Villas Plaza Shopping Center
acquired December 6, 1985.
A brief description of these properties and the terms of purchase by the
Partnership is as follows:

<PAGE>
EDISON SQUARE
Edison Square is a strip shopping center located in Lee County, Florida,
consisting of approximately 40,000 square feet of net leasable area situated on
3.45 acres of land. The building was completed in early 1984, and is of
contemporary design with masonry construction and glass store fronts. Edison
Square Shopping Center is located on Fowler Street, just east of Edison Mall -
the area's largest regional shopping mall. The property also has access from
Colonial Boulevard, which is a major artery from I-75 to Fort Myers. Fowler
street is a major north/south artery.
The Partnership acquired the Edison Square property on October 19, 1984. The
Partnership has capitalized the following costs associated with the purchase of
Edison Square.
Original Purchase Price $3,295,000
Acquisition Fee 131,800
Less: Seller Adjustment for not
meeting certain leasing requirements (100,000)
----------
Total Capitalized costs of Acquisition $3,326,800
----------
The terms of the purchase were $997,000 cash. A first mortgage of $1,645,000
was also placed on the property subsequent to closing. The remaining purchase
price was financed by a second mortgage from the seller in the amount of
$553,000 at 11% which has subsequently been paid off.
The Partnership refinanced this loan as of September 8, 1994. The terms of this
mortgage are as follows:
The principal amount borrowed was $1,725,000. The interest rate is
fixed at 10.6% and the loan balloons on October 1, 2001. This loan is
being amortized over 22 years and has a principal and interest payment
amount of $16,894.90. The loan is non recourse and Edison Square
Shopping Center is the collateral. The Partnership's debt increased
from $1,426,000 to $1,725,000. These excess proceeds were used to pay
for capital improvements and for loan refinance costs.
The loan can not be prepaid in the first year but may be prepaid after
the second year with a prepayment amount either the greater of (a) 1%
of the principal balance of the note being prepaid or (b) the ratio of
the principal balance of the note being prepaid over the outstanding
principal balance of the note on the prepayment date multiplied by the
present value as of the prepayment date of the remaining scheduled
payments determined by discounting such payments at the discount rate
less the amount of the outstanding principal balance of the note on
the prepayment date. Borrower is also obligated to escrow funds for
insurance, taxes and a replacement reserve.
When purchased, the property was 62.5% occupied. At December 31, 1996 and 1995
the property was 93% and 97% occupied.

CORPORATE PARK
The Partnership acquired Corporate Park on April 15, 1985. The property is an
office complex consisting of approximately 12,800 square feet situated on 1.13
acres of land. Corporate Park is located on Evans Avenue in Fort Myers, Lee
County, Florida. The property is a few blocks from the Metro Park Outlet Mall
and the Edison Mall. It is also enhanced by its excellent access to Colonial
Boulevard - a main thoroughfare to I-75.
The Partnership has capitalized the following costs associated with the
acquisition of Corporate Park:
Original Purchase Price $1,000,000
Acquisition Fee 20,000
Brokerage Commission 30,000
Appraisal 2,000
----------
Total Capitalized Cost $1,052,000
----------
The property was purchased for cash and then subsequently financed with a
$620,000 mortgage which has since been paid off with borrowings from an
affiliated partnership.
At December 31, 1996 and 1995, Corporate Park was 100% occupied.
Corporate Office Park and Villas Plaza Shopping Center are secured by a first
mortgage to an affiliated partnership in the amount of $1,400,000. The
interest rate is 12%. This loan matures on December 31, 1997.
GALLERY MOTEL (NOW SEASIDE INN)
The Partnership's third acquisition was purchased on June 27, 1985. The
property is a motel consisting of 7 buildings, which house 32 rental units
including 10 motel, 4 efficiency and 8 one-bedroom cottages situated on 1.88
acres of land.
The property also includes a pool, 200 feet of direct frontage on the Gulf of
Mexico and office facilities. The buildings are approximately 25 years old and
were renovated in 1995. They consist of concrete block and wood veneer
construction for some buildings and wood construction for others. All units are
elevated to prevent flooding. The Gallery Motel is located on East Gulf Drive
on Sanibel Island, Florida, directly on the Gulf of Mexico, near the east end
of the Island. Sanibel is located in Lee County, just off Florida's West Coast.

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
The Partnership has capitalized the following costs associated with the
acquisition of Gallery Motel:
Original Purchase Price $2,150,000
Acquisition Fee 100,000
Less: Imputed discount on
mortgage loan (134,000)
----------
Total Capitalized Cost $2,116,000
----------
Terms of the purchase provided for a cash down payment of $1,000,000 and a
seller mortgage at 11.7% interest rate in the amount of $1,150,000 (which was
discounted to $1,016,000). The purchase terms were negotiated with no interest
or principal payments due for the first year. This mortgage was refinanced with
a local financial institution in December, 1986 at prime plus one percent.
On February 1, 1990, the Partnership consolidated other debts by increasing its
loans on the Gallery Motel with a local financial institution. The loan balance
at December 31st is $2,545,747. The maturity date has now been extended to
November 1, 1996 with an interest rate of Prime plus 1-1/2%; monthly principal
payments of $3,400 commencing July 1, 1995 until maturity, at which time
balance is due in full.
Proceeds from the above mentioned loan were used to pay off $950,000 ($790,000
and $160,000) of notes payable to affiliates, $250,000 of un-collateralized
line of credit and $1,433,768 of mortgages payable to banks. The remainder was
used for capital improvements.
A total renovation of the property was completed in 1995 and it was renamed
Seaside Inn. The Partnership has also obtained a $650,000 loan from an
unaffiliated lender in order to complete renovations. This loan is interest
only at a rate of 12% and is paid quarterly. The loan balloons October 1997.
As of December 31, 1995, $650,000 of the loan had been drawn. The total cost of
the renovations was approximately $985,000. The excess costs were invested by
the management company and are non-refundable unless the management company
purchases the property at which time that sum will be credited to the purchase
price.
The management company, South Seas Resorts Company (SSRC), an affiliate of the
general partner has signed an option agreement to acquire the property on or
before January 1997, at a price of $6,485,000. This price assumes renovations of
$335,000 of which $330,000 has been funded to date. Since the transaction is
between affiliated companies, the general partner must seek approval from the
limited partners of (1) the option terms and (2) an amendment of the
partnership agreement to permit the sale to an affiliate. That approval was
solicited in August 1996. Once approved the transaction still represented an
option, however SSRC closed on the purchase of this property in January 1997
as reported in an 8-K filed January 15, 1997.

VILLAS PLAZA
The Partnership's final property acquisition was made on December 6, 1985. The
property is a shopping center consisting of approximately 36,000 square feet
situated on 3.51 acres of land, located in Lee County, Florida. There are three
buildings with ages ranging from 15 to 30 years. The buildings consist of
masonry construction with wood trim. Villas Plaza is located directly on U.S.
41 and Crystal Drive in Fort Myers, Florida.
The Partnership has capitalized the following costs associated with the
acquisition of Villas Plaza:
Original Purchase Price $1,750,000
Acquisition Fee 52,000
Commissions and Appraisal Fees 4,000
----------
Total Capitalized Cost $1,806,000
----------
Terms of purchase provided for assumption of a first mortgage of $586,000, a
second mortgage from the seller for $328,000, with the balance paid in cash.
The second mortgage was paid off and refinanced with a 10% interest only
mortgage obtained from an affiliated partnership. The second mortgage matured
in January 1990. In February 1990, $160,000 of this second mortgage was paid
off from proceeds of the Gallery Motel refinancing (See Page 6). On December
31, 1992, the Partnership borrowed $500,000 of additional cash from an
affiliated partnership and satisfied the $150,000 second mortgage on Edison
square. This resulted in a new loan of $1,350,000 secured by Villas Plaza and
Corporate Office Park, with a 12% interest rate and matures December 31, 1994.
Proceeds from this refinance were used to pay off the original first mortgage
in January 1993, the $150,000 line of credit, the 1% point associated with the
refinance and the remainder will be used for capital improvements to the
properties. The Partnership has obtained a new loan in the amount of $1,400,000
to be used to pay this loan in full and cover loan costs. See prior discussion
under "Corporate Park".
At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the property was 73% and 70% occupied.
The Partnership sold the Villas Plaza to an unrelated purchaser on March 20,
1997 at a price of $1,900,000. The sale generated approximately $620,000
which is available for distribution to the partners.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Partnership is not a party to nor is any of the Partnership property the
subject of any material pending legal proceedings.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
None except for item discussed above under "Gallery Motel" which was submitted
on August 8, 1996. 4,950 of the 5,005 limited partnership interests voted in
favor of selling the facility, representing a 91.7% approval. 87 partnership
interests voted against consummating the sale, or abstained, and 338 failed to
vote, which represents a 8.3% negative or abstention vote. The consent
document required a 66.67% affirmative vote.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY - The principal sources of the Partnership's liquidity are income
from commercial real estate purchased for the Partnership's portfolio (as
described in Results from Operations), and cash reserves.
The Partnership has two loans that it extended in 1995. Corporate Park and
Villas Plaza Shopping Center are collateralized by a $1,350,000 first mortgage
from an affiliated partnership. The interest rate is 12%. This loan was
refinanced in the amount of $1,400,000 at an interest rate of 12% and
extended to December 31, 1997, with no prepayment penalty. The loan is
interest only with interest paid quarterly.
The maturity date of the Gallery Motel loan in the amount of $2,545,747 has
been extended until March 31, 1997, by a local financial institution. See
discussion to sell property under Item 2.
The Managing General Partner has prepared sales packages on all of the
properties and has offered all of the properties for sale. The properties are
offered for sale above their current carrying value. A sale of all or some of
the properties would increase cash to the Partnership. however, cash flow from
operations would decrease due to the property sale. The Partnership properties
are not considered to be institutional grade due to their smaller size and lack
of sufficient credit tenants; therefore those properties do not have a broad
range of potential purchasers. The purchasers of these property types tend to
be smaller, with less access to the capital markets for funding. There has
been some improvement in this area over the past year and management is
hopeful that it can take advantage of that fact in finding qualified buyers
but can make no predictions at this time.
The Partnership has obtained a $650,000 loan from an unaffiliated lender in
order to renovate the Gallery Motel. This is an interest only loan with a rate
of 12% paid quarterly. Management believes that these renovations will
increase the value of the Gallery Motel through an increase in rate and
occupancy.
Partner distributions in 1996 were higher than in 1995 due to the Gallery
Motel being operated for twelve months in 1996.
Other factors that could affect liquidity are unexpected vacancies,
unanticipated capital improvements and the strength of the Florida tourist
industry. Other than as discussed above, Management is not aware of any trends
or demands, commitments events or uncertainties that will result, or that are
reasonably likely to result, in the Partnership's liquidity increasing or
decreasing in any material way.
CAPITAL RESOURCES - As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership had $334,144 in
cash and other interest-bearing deposits.
In connection with debt refinancing in 1995, see Section 7 under Liquidity.
9
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Land and buildings (net of accumulated depreciation of $3,543,798 and
provision for impairment of $229,500) are carried at $7,544,846 at December
31, 1996. Improvements to rental properties totaled $42,038 in 1996. The
improvements were paid for out of cash from operating activities.
Management does not anticipate significant capital improvement expenditures in
1997. Factors influencing this would be unexpected vacancies, unanticipated
capital improvements and general property conditions.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995
During the years ended December 31, 1996 & 1995, the Partnership's principal
sources of revenue were rental income of $2,305,736 and $2,041,407 and expense
reimbursements from tenants of $157,069 and $168,776, respectively. The
increase in rental revenues was attributed to the following properties:
Corporate Park increased $7,482, Edison Square increased $11,732, Villas Plaza
decreased $5,375 and Gallery Motel increased $250,490. Corporate Park was 100%
occupied during the entire year of 1996. Revenue increases at Edison Square and
Corporate Park were due to higher occupancy and increased rental rates from
CPI increases.
The room revenue increase at the Gallery Motel was due to higher
average daily rate in 1996 as compared to 1995. The average daily room rate
increased more than 10.0% from $148.62 to $163.98. Additionally, there were
2,511 more room nights available to be rented as a result of the motel
renovations being completed.
Property operating expenses have increased from $1,048,958 to $1,078,297
primarily due to increases in operating costs at the Gallery Motel.
Depreciation expense increased from $324,214 to $454,860 due to additional
assets being put into service in 1995. Interest expense decreased $28,515
due to lower mortgage balances on the Edison Square and Gallery loans.
Management recognized a loss on impairment of $229,500 and $0 at December 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively.
COMPARISON OF THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
During the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Partnership's principal
sources of revenue were rental income of $2,041,407 and $1,913,524 and expense
reimbursements from tenants of $168,776 and $165,469, respectively. The
increase in rental revenues was attributed to the following properties:
Corporate Park increased $35,823, Edison Square increased $49,826, Villas
Plaza decreased $7,287 and Gallery Motel increased $49,521. Corporate Park
experienced a vacancy for part of 1994 and was 100% occupied during the entire
year of 1995. Revenue increases at Edison Square and Corporate Park were due
to higher occupancy and increased rental rates from cost of living increases.
The room revenue increase at the Gallery Motel was due to higher occupancy and
average daily rate in 1995 as compared to 1994. The average daily room rate
increased 10.0% from $134.97 to $148.62. This rate increase was offset by 427
less room nights being rented in 1995 due to the motel being renovated.
10
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Property operating expenses have increased from $920,310 to $1,048,958
primarily due to increases in operating costs at the Gallery Motel.
Depreciation expense increased from $311,631 to $324,214 due to additional
assets being put into service in 1995. Interest expense increased $99,280
due to higher interest rate and a higher mortgage balance on the Edison
Square loan and the interest associated with the $650,000 loan for the
Gallery renovations.
COMPARISON OF THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993
During the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Partnership's principal
sources of revenue were rental income of $1,913,524 and $1,960,705 and expense
reimbursements from tenants of $165,469 and $171,778, respectively. The
decrease in rental revenues was attributed to the following properties:
Corporate Park decreased $29,218, Edison Square increased $26,834, Villas Plaza
increased $9,591 and Gallery Motel decreased $54,388. Corporate Park
experienced a vacancy for part of 1994 and was 100% occupied during the entire
year of 1993. Revenue increases at Edison Square and Villas Plaza were due to
higher occupancy and increased rental rates from cost of living increases. The
room revenue decrease at the Gallery Motel was due to lower occupancy in 1994
as compared to 1993. Although the average daily room rate increased 5.3% from
$128.12 to $135.63, overall gross revenue declined because occupancy declined
from 78.6% in 1993 to 71.3% in 1994 or a total of 848 room nights.
Property operating expenses have increased from $901,143 to $920,310 primarily
due to increases in insurance costs. In the past two years, the Gallery Motel
has settled several claims relating to Workman's Compensation and General
Liability claims. These claims plus a general increase in insurance premiums in
the insurance market have contributed to the rise in insurance costs.
Depreciation expense increased from $293,177 to $311,631 due to additional
assets being put into service in 1994. Interest expense increased $30,602 due
to higher interest rate and a higher mortgage balance on the Edison Square loan
and the interest associated with the $650,000 loan for the Gallery renovations.
($500,000 drawn in 1994.)
INFLATION - At the present time, inflation and changing prices have not had a
significant impact on operations, however the impact on future operations is
not currently determinable.
CHANGING RETAIL CONDITIONS - The Florida retail market has changed
significantly over the past few years with the trend toward super stores among
the giant retailers. Management expects this trend to continue into the next
decade. Among the retailers opening super stores are the following:
Walmart Builders Square
K-Mart Circuit City
Target Sam's Wholesale
Home Depot
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
These super stores offer most of the products that are offered by the small
retailers. They are able to do so at highly competitive prices which has
driven many of the smaller retailers out of business or forced them to seek
rent relief in order to stay in business.
This trend has had a negative effect on both occupancies and rental rates at
properties such as those held by the Fund. Management has had to compete with
other properties for dwindling supply of small retailers. Management expects
this trend to continue.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
The Balance Sheets of the Partnership as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the
Statements of Income, Partner's Capital and Cash Flows of the Partnership for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, as well as the
Notes to Financial Statements and Schedule III and the Report of Independent
Accountants there on, dated March 20, 1997, are set forth herein:

<PAGE>
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Partners
Florida Income Fund, L.P.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Florida Income Fund, L.P.
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of income,
partners' capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in

FLORIDA INCOME FUND, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
ORGANIZATION
Florida Income Fund, L.P. (the Partnership) was formed on November
7, 1983, by the filing of a Certificate and Agreement of Limited
Partnership (Partnership Agreement) under the laws of the State of
Iowa. The General Partners, MCD Real Estate, Inc. (MCD) and Mariner
Capital Management, Inc. (MCM), also the Managing General Partner,
contributed $10,000 and the Initial Limited Partner contributed
$5,000 in the initial capitalization of the Partnership. The
Partnership was formed for the purpose of investing in a diversified
portfolio of income-producing commercial and residential real estate
properties located in Florida. The Partnership owns Edison Square
and Villas Plaza (two retail shopping centers), Corporate Park (an
office complex) and the Gallery Motel.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies of the Partnership
follows:
RENTAL INCOME: The Partnership leases space in its retail centers.
These leases range from one to fifteen years and include provisions
for minimum rent increases at stated amounts or the Consumer Price
Index.
ALLOCATION OF NET INCOME (LOSS): In accordance with the Partnership
Agreement, net income (loss), prior to recoupment of the Partners'
original capital investment, is allocated five percent (5%) to the
General Partners and ninety-five percent (95%) to the Limited
Partners as a class. Subsequent to recoupment, income (loss) is
allocated twenty percent (20%) to the General Partners and eighty
percent (80%) to the Limited Partners as a class.
RENTAL PROPERTIES
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
of" (SFAS 121). The Statement requires that long-lived assets and
certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used be reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
their carrying amount may not be recoverable. In assessing
recoverability, estimates of future cash flows expected to result
from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition should be
used. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted
and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of
the asset, an impairment loss should be recognized based on the
value of the asset. Management has reviewed the partnership's
property holdings and believes that an impairment of the Corporate
Park property exists. A loss of $229,500 on impairment of the
Corporate Park property has been recognized in the year ended
December 31, 1996.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
Depreciation is computed principally under the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Repairs and
maintenance are included in operating expenses and major improvements
are capitalized.
Upon the sale or retirement of depreciable assets, the cost and
related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and
the difference between the carrying value and any proceeds realized
on sale is included in the determination of net income.
TENANT REIMBURSEMENTS: Common area maintenance, property tax and
utilities expenses for the rental properties are reimbursed to the
fund through tenant assessments. These costs are included in
property operating expenses and property tax expense.
DEFERRED LOAN COSTS: Loan costs incurred from financing and
refinancing the various property acquisitions have been capitalized
at cost and are being amortized over the lives of the related loans.
Amortization of loan costs is included with interest expense in the
income statement.
INCOME TAXES: The accompanying financial statements do not show a
provision or liability for Federal or State income taxes because the
Partners are taxed individually on their share of Partnership
earnings.
PER UNIT INCOME: Per unit income is based on the weighted average
number of units outstanding for the years ended December 31, 1996,
1995 and 1994.
CASH EQUIVALENTS: For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the
Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity
of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: The recorded value for cash and
cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short
maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the Partnership's
short and long-term notes and mortgages payable at December 31, 1996,
based upon market rates, approximates the amounts disclosed in
Footnote 4.
RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain amounts in the 1995 and 1994 financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the net
income or partners' capital previously reported.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT'S 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.
