                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              SEPTEMBER 30, 1997

                                 (UNAUDITED)

1.       ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL REPORTING POLICIES

         The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared
         by One Financial Place Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), without
         audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
         Exchange Commission. The Partnership's accounting and financial
         reporting policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting
         principles and include all adjustments in interim periods considered
         necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations. Certain
         information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
         statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
         principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
         regulations. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements
         be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes
         thereto included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-KSB for
         the year ended December 31, 1996.

         The accompanying financial statements reflect the Partnership's results
         of operations for an interim period and are not necessarily indicative
         of the results of operations for the year ending December 31, 1997.

2.       TAXABLE LOSS

         The Partnership's taxable loss for 1997 is expected to differ from that
         for financial reporting purposes primarily due to accounting
         differences in the recognition of depreciation incurred by the
         Operating Partnership and differences in the recognition of expenses
         accrued and payable to related parties (who are unaffiliated with the
         general partner) not deductible until the year of payment for tax
         purposes.

3.       INVESTMENT IN OPERATING PARTNERSHIP

         The Partnership accounts for its investment in One Financial Place
         Partnership (the "Operating Partnership") using the equity method of
         accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the initial
         investment is recorded at cost, increased or decreased by the
         Partnership's share of income or losses, and decreased by
         distributions. Equity in the loss of the Operating Partnership is no
         longer recognized once the investment balance reaches zero.

         The loss from the Operating Partnership, not recognized since the
         investment balance reached zero, will be offset against the
         Partnership's share of future income from the Operating Partnership.

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

         This Item should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
         and other items contained elsewhere in the report.

         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Partnership's primary source of liquidity is distributions from
         Financial Place 1994 ("New LP") and OFP Corporation ("Newco"). New LP
         and Newco are the sole partners of One Financial Place Partnership (the
         "Operating Partnership"). The Operating Partnership owns and operates a
         39 story office building and a three-story trading annex located in
         Chicago, Illinois. The Partnership has not received any distributions
         for the past five years, and based on the current commercial real
         estate market in Chicago and the current status with the mortgage
         lenders, none are expected in the foreseeable future.

         The Partnership requires cash to pay operating expenses associated with
         reporting to its Limited Partners, including audit, printing and
         mailing costs. Although there is no requirement to do so, Winthrop
         Financial Co., Inc. ("Winthrop"), a general partner of the Registrant,
         has made loans to the Partnership since 1991 to cover the cost of these
         operating expenses. There can be no assurance, however, that Winthrop
         will continue to fund the Partnership's operating deficits. To date,
         Winthrop has advanced $297,077 to the Partnership, of which $51,487 was
         advanced during the nine months ended September 30, 1997. These loans
         are non-interest bearing and are to be repaid out of cash
         distributions, if any, which the Partnership receives from Newco or New
         LP. The loans are to be repaid prior to the Partnership making any cash
         distributions to its Limited Partners. In addition, an investor service
         fee payable to an affiliate of a general partner of $250,000 per year
         continued to accrue during the period ending September 30, 1997. At
         September 30, 1997, the amount of fees payable was $2,437,500.
