A.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Property and Depreciation - Property is stated at the lower of cost or net
     realizable value.  Depreciation is provided on a straight-line method over
     the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.

     Inventories - Inventories, consisting of growing crops, is valued at the 
     lower of cost or net realizable value under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) 
     method. Cost is defined as cultural care costs related to the growing 
     crops.

     Income Taxes - The Partnership reports its tax returns on the cash basis of
     accounting.  No provision for income taxes is included in the accompanying
     financial statements as the Partnership's results of operations are 
     distributed to the partners for inclusion in their respective income tax 
     returns.

     Profit Recognition on Real Estate Sales - It is the Partnership's policy to
     defer profit on real estate sales until such time as the purchaser's 
     cumulative investment and continued involvement in the property meet the 
     minimum criteria for full profit recognition as set forth in the Financial 
     Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real 
     Estate. Until such time as profit can be recognized under the full accrual 
     method, the cost recovery and installment methods are used.

     Net Income Per Limited Partnership Interest - Net income per limited
     partnership interest was calculated using the weighted average of limited
     partnership interests outstanding during the year and the Limited Partners'
     share of the net income.

B.   GENERAL

     Green Gold Consolidated was organized in accordance with the Provisions
     of the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act for the purpose of
     receiving the assets and liabilities of twelve limited partnerships under
     common management and thereby consolidating the operations of those
     partnerships under an exchange transaction effective June 30, 1983.  Under
     the exchange transaction, the Partnership issued 10,000,000 limited
     partnership interests (pro rata) to the holders of interests in the twelve
     individual limited partnerships in exchange for the assets and liabilities 
     of those partnerships.

     Under the provisions of the partnership agreement, profits and losses are
     allocated in the ratio of 93.5% to the Limited Partners and 6.5% to the
     General Partner, provided that prior to the first fiscal quarter during 
     which a distribution is made to the General Partner from the proceeds of 
     the property sales or refinancing, all gains and losses resulting from 
     property sales are allocated in the ratio of 99% to the Limited Partners 
     and 1% to the General Partner.

     The combination of the twelve partnerships into one partnership was treated
     as a reorganization of entities under common control, accounted for similar
     to a "pooling of interest".<PAGE>

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations

Recognition of deferred profit for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 increased
$102,000 (from $2,000 to $104,000) compared to the quarter ended December 31,
1997.  Deferred profit in 1998 includes $61,000 recognized from an early loan 
payoff and $35,000 from installment sales that occurred in December 1998.  
Avocado crops sales decreased $22,000 (from $37,000 to $15,000).  The budgeted 
amount for 1999 is 160,000 pounds of avocados compared to 487,000 pounds 
harvested in 1998.  The crop estimate decrease results from fewer avocado trees
due to property sales totaling 99 acres in 1998, leaving only 66 acres as of 
December 31, 1998.

Culture care costs decreased $19,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 
(from $40,000 to $21,000) compared to the quarter ended December 31, 1997.  The
decrease results from the impact of reduced avocado tree acreage.  Professional
services increased $8,000 (from $14,000 to $22,000) compared to the same quarter
in the previous year.  The increase results from paying the annual audit fee 
this quarter versus over two quarters the previous year.  The overall amount
paid for accounting services rendered is approximately the same as prior years.
Management services increased $7,000 (from 19,000 to $26,000) compared to the 
same quarter in the previous year.  The increase results from payments to the 
Manager, per the terms of the management agreement, 2% of the gross Partnership
cash receipts.  This quarter includes proceeds from the eight parcel sales 
occurring the prior quarter ended September 1998.  Property taxes decreased 
$11,000 (from $24,000 to $13,000) compared to the same quarter in the previous 
year.  The decrease is from the impact of fewer parcels as a result of property 
sales.  Other operating expenses decreased $8,000 (from $10,000 to $2,000) 
compared to the same quarter in the previous year.  The amounts in 1997 not in 
1998 totals included non-recurring fees for renewal of the public reports and 
also foreclosure costs.

Interest income increased $12,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 (from
$46,000 to $58,000) compared to the quarter ended December 31, 1997.  The 
increase results from interest earned on proceeds from the sale of eight parcels
with closing dates in the last quarter ended September 30, 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 1998, the Partnership has cash reserves of approximately
$442,000 to cover operating expenses and any small amount real estate sales
costs that may arise.  This is expected to be sufficient to comply with the
business plan.
