(1)  Financial Statement Adjustments and Footnote Disclosure
     -------------------------------------------------------

     The accompanying financial statements are unaudited.  However, Boettcher
     Affiliated Investors L.P., ("BAILP"), the Managing General Partner of
     Boettcher Pension Investors Ltd. (the "Partnership"), believes all material
     adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial
     statements have been made and that such adjustments are of a normal and
     recurring nature.  Certain information and footnotes normally included in
     financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange
     Commission rules and regulations. BAILP believes the disclosures made are
     adequate to make the information not misleading and suggests that the
     condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
     statements and notes thereto included in the Boettcher Pension Investors
     Ltd. October 31, 1997 Annual Report.

(2)  Significant Accounting Principles
     ---------------------------------

     Environmental Remediation Liabilities

     Liabilities for loss contingencies, including environmental remediation
     costs, arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties,
     and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has
     been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be
     reasonably estimated. The costs of site clean-up are recorded in the amount
     of the cash payments made or for future estimated costs for that site when
     fixed or reliably determinable based upon information derived from the
     remediation plan for that site. Recoveries from third parties which are
     probable of realization are separately recorded, and are not offset against
     the related environmental liability.

     In October 1996, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
     issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 96-1, Environmental Remediation
     Liabilities. SOP 96-1 will be adopted by the Partnership during fiscal 1997
     and will require, among other things, environmental remediation liabilities
     to be accrued when the criteria of SFAS No. 5, Accounting for
     Contingencies, have been met. The SOP also provides guidance with respect
     to the measurement of the remediation liabilities. Such accounting is
     consistent with the Partnership's current method of accounting for
     environmental remediation costs and therefore, adoption of this new
     Statement did not have a material impact on the Partnership's financial
     position, results of operations or liquidity.

     Financial Instruments

     The fair value of the Partnership's financial instruments approximate their
     carrying values due to the short maturities of those instruments or due to
     the interest rates of those instruments approximating interest rates for
     similar issues.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Use of Estimates

     Management of the Partnership has made a number of estimates and
     assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the
     disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial
     statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
     Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     Business and Credit Concentrations

     The Partnership's remaining real estate investment, Parkway Village
     Shopping Center ("Parkway"), is located in Provo, Utah. Three national
     tenants account for fifty percent of the rental income.

     The Partnership estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the
     credit worthiness of its customers as well as general economic conditions.
     Consequently, an adverse change in those factors could effect the
     Partnership's estimate of its bad debts.  At January 31, 1998, the
     Partnership had $83,329 of tenant receivables from current and former
     tenants of Parkway for which an allowance for doubtful accounts have been
     established.

     Income Taxes

     No provision has been made for Federal income taxes, as the taxable income
     (loss) is reported by the partners rather than the Partnership.  The
     Partnership reports certain transactions differently for tax and financial
     statement purposes, primarily depreciation.

     Real Estate Held for Sale

     Properties held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair market
     value, which exceeds or approximates independent appraised values.

     Building and improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method
     over an estimated useful life of 30 years. Equipment and furnishings are
     depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of
     10 years. Renewals and betterments are capitalized and repairs and
     maintenance are charged to operations as incurred.

     Deferred Leasing Costs

     Costs associated with the leasing of the Partnership's retail shopping
     center are deferred and amortized over the life of the related leases.
     These costs are comprised of lease commissions and construction costs
     related to the buildout of tenant space.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents

     For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents
     include highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity
     of three months or less.  Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of the
     following:

     Reclassifications

     Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for comparability with
     fiscal 1998 financial statement presentation.

(3)  Environmental Remediation Costs
     -------------------------------

     In fiscal 1995, a non sudden release of a dry cleaning solution,
     tetrachloroethylene (PERC), was reported by the dry cleaning tenant (the
     Tenant) at Parkway to the State of Utah Department of Environmental Quality
     (DEQ).  The Tenant, utilizing the services of an environmental consulting
     firm, investigated the extent of the PERC release and its effect on soil
     and groundwater in the vicinity.  The DEQ is monitoring the Tenant's
     progress.  Although the Tenant is responsible for the costs of any required
     remediation, should the Tenant be unable to complete the required work due
     to limitations of its financial resources, it is likely that the
     Partnership, as owner of Parkway, would be required to complete the needed
     remediation. The Partnership has been advised that groundwater
     contamination has occurred and the Partnership on behalf of and in
     cooperation with the tenant, is in the process of determining the method,
     cost and timing of required soil and groundwater remediation measures.  The
     Partnership has spent approximately $83,000 to date on the above mentioned
     testing as well as legal representation in connection with the PERC
     release. Management is unable at this time to estimate the full extent of
     additional expenses that may be incurred.  However, the Partnership sold
     the property on January 28, 1998.  Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale
     Agreement, the Buyer is purchasing the Property "as is" from the
     Partnership.  The Buyer has investigated the Property thoroughly and is
     aware of and has evaluated the environmental remediation requirements with
     respect to the Property.  The Buyer has released the Partnership from any
     and all claims it may have against the Partnership with respect to
     environmental remediation matters; however, the Partnership will remain
     liable to the extent provided by law for any environmental remediation
     relating to its period of ownership of the Property, subject to its right
     to recover from the Tenant.

     As of January 31, 1998, the Tenant has failed to reimburse the Partnership
     for expenses of remediation.  The Partnership has filed suit against the
     Tenant to recover its remediation expenses; however, there can be no
     assurance that the Partnership will recover any or all of such expenses
     from the Tenant.  Accordingly, the Partnership has not recognized any
     income from possible recovery of such expenses.

(4)  Transactions with Related Parties
     ---------------------------------

     BAILP is the Managing Agent of the Partnership and is paid property
     management, loan servicing, and acquisition fees for its services to the
     Partnership.  The property management fee is equal to 5% of gross receipts
     from the properties, less management fees paid to others.  The property
     management fee earned by BAILP amounted to $1,512 for the three months
     ended January 31, 1998.

     The Partnership also reimburses BAILP for its allocable share of salaries
     of nonmanagement and nonsupervisory personnel providing accounting,
     investor reporting and communications, and legal services to the
     Partnership and allowable expenses related to the maintenance and repair of
     data processing equipment used for or by the Partnership. The amount due
     BAILP for such reimbursements amounted to $3,303 for the three months ended
     January 31, 1998.

(5)  Sale of Real Estate
     --------------------

     As of January 31, 1998, the fair value of the Partnership's real estate
     held for sale exceeds cost based upon the sale of the Remaining Property

     On January 28, 1998, the Partnership closed on the sale of the Remaining
     Property, selling the land, related improvements and personal property of
     the retail center known as Parkway Village Shopping Center ("Parkway")
     located in Provo, Utah to an unrelated third party for $8,550,000.  Parkway
     consists of a 4-building shopping center containing approximately 102,000
     square feet of net rentable area on approximately 10.05 acres of land.  At
     the time of sale, Parkway was approximately 97% leased and occupied.

     The net proceeds and gain on sale related to the Remaining Property, are
     calculated as follows:

(6)  Subsequent Event
     ----------------

     On February 12, 1998, subsequent to the closing of the sale of the
     Remaining Property, the Partnership made an initial distribution of $275
     per limited partnership unit ("Unit") out of the Partnership's available
     cash.  The Partnership retained approximately $380,000 to establish
     reserves for the payment of the Partnership's remaining debts and
     liabilities, to cover contingent liabilities resulting from the
     Partnership's previous ownership of the Remaining Property, and to cover
     the costs and expenses associated with the Partnership's liquidation and
     dissolution.  The Partnership may make one or more interim distributions
     during its winding up process as contingent liabilities lapse and the time
     of the liquidation and dissolution becomes more certain.  Upon liquidation
     and dissolution the Partnership will make a final distribution of its
     remaining cash, constituting the remaining asset of the Partnership, to the
     limited partners.

     The net proceeds from closing together with a portion of Partnership cash
     reserves were utilized as follows:

        of Operations
        -------------

Forward-Looking Statements
- --------------------------

This report contains forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section
21E. of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) representing the
Managing General Partner's current expectations and beliefs concerning future
events. When used in this report, the words "believes," "estimates," "plans,"
"expects," "intends," anticipates," or the negation thereof or other variations
thereon or comparable terminology as they relate to the Partnership or its
management are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The actual
results of the Partnership could differ materially from those indicated by the
forward-looking statements because of various risks and uncertainties related to
and including, without limitation, the extent of additional costs to complete
the liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership. These risks and
uncertainties are beyond the ability of the Managing General Partner to control;
in many cases, the Managing General Partner cannot predict the risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
indicated by the forward-looking statements.

The Partnership, pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, closed the sale of
the Remaining Property on January 28, 1998 and the Partnership is currently in
the process of liquidating and dissolving (i.e. "winding up" its business and
affairs).  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations is qualified in its entirety by the occurrence of the sale
and the Partnership's winding up process.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

For the three months ended January 31, 1998, the Partnership generated total
revenue of $276,284 and incurred total expenses in the amount of $247,189,
resulting in net earnings of $29,095.  The Partnership's net earnings decreased
$25,050 for the three months ended January 31, 1998 when compared with the
corresponding period of fiscal 1997.  The most significant factors affecting the
Partnership's year to date results of operations as compared to the
corresponding period in 1997 were decreased total revenues and expenses in most
categories, as a result of the sale of Parkway in the first quarter of fiscal
1998, as well as the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
121 ("SFAS 121") in fiscal 1997.  SFAS 121 requires impairment losses to be
recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment
are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those
assets are less than the assets' carrying amount.  SFAS 121 also addresses the
accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of;
specifically it requires the elimination of depreciation and amortization
related to those long-lived assets to be disposed of.  For the quarter ended
January 31, 1998, no depreciation and amortization related to the Partnership's
real estate held for sale has recorded.

</TABLE>

Total revenue generated by the Partnership for the three months ended January
31, 1998 was $276,284 representing a decrease of $12,608 (4%) when compared with
the corresponding period in fiscal 1997.  The Partnership's remaining property,
Parkway generated rental income of $231,627 for the three months of 1998,
representing a decrease of $5,523 (2%) when compared to the corresponding period
in 1997.  The decrease is primarily due to the reduction of rental income of
$10,233 prorated for the last two days in January 1998 after the close of the
sale of the Remaining Property on January 28, 1998.

Tenant reimbursements and other income decreased $10,473 (24%) for the three
months ended January 31, 1998, when compared to the corresponding period of
fiscal 1997, due to the decreased occupancy at Parkway which resulted in less
reimbursable expenses billed back to tenants.

Interest income increased $3,388 or 44% to $11,122 for the three months ended
January 31, 1998 from $7,734 for the corresponding period in 1997, primarily due
to the maintenance of larger cash reserves in the current period.

for the Partnership's properties is presented below:

(a)  Average effective rental rates are stated in terms of an average annual
     rate per square foot. Effective rates take into account the effect of
     leasing concessions and bad debts.  These rates are "triple net".  In
     addition to this base rent, the majority of tenants pay their pro rata
     share of taxes, insurance and common area maintenance expenses at the
     property.

(b)  Parkway was sold on January 28, 1998.

Total expenses incurred by the Partnership for the three months ended January
31, 1998 were $247,189, representing an increase of $12,442 (5%) when compared
with the corresponding period of fiscal 1997. Environmental expenses related to
the remediation of dry cleaning solution contamination at Parkway, more fully
discussed in Note 3 of the Financial Statements, amounted to $4,532 for the
three months ended January 31, 1998. General and administrative expense
increased $25,789 (93%) to $53,458 for the three months ended January 31, 1998
from $27,669 for the comparable period in fiscal 1997. This is the result of
increased professional fees, specifically legal fees, and the inclusion of
certain expenses related to the sale of Parkway in the first quarter of fiscal
1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

Combined cash and cash equivalent balances, which represent Partnership cash
reserves, were $3,457,686 at January 31, 1998, representing an increase of
$2,447,397 when compared with fiscal 1997 year-end balances.  Net cash used by
operating activities for the three months ended January 31, 1998 amounted to
$47,788.  The payable to Managing General Partner decreased $59,669, to $70,167
at January 31, 1998, when compared to the fiscal 1997 year-end balance,
primarily due to the net effect of cash advances of approximately $35,516 in the
current quarter and the reimbursement of fees and reimbursable expenses related
to operations of $100,000 in the three months ended January 31, 1998.

Net cash provided by investing activities amounted to $8,193,508 for the three
months ended January 31, 1998 and is comprised primarily of the net proceeds
from the sale of Parkway of $8,196,986.

Net cash used by financing activities amounted to $5,698,323 in the first
quarter of fiscal 1998, the result of reductions in mortgage principal related
to the Parkway mortgage.

The sale of the Remaining Property closed on January 28, 1998 and the
Partnership received gross proceeds of $8,550,000.  Upon closing the sale of the
Remaining Property, the Partnership used a portion of the proceeds to pay the
mortgage secured by the Remaining Property and certain customary closing
expenses.  The Partnership is currently in the process of liquidating and
dissolving (i.e. "winding up" its business and affairs).  Once the liquidation
and dissolution is completed, the operations and existence of the Partnership
will cease.

The net proceeds and net gain related to the Remaining Property, are calculated
as follows:

On February 12, 1998, subsequent to the sale of the Remaining Property, the
Partnership made an initial distribution of $275 per Unit out of the
Partnership's available cash.  The Partnership retained $380,000 to establish
reserves for the payment of the Partnership's previous ownership of the
Remaining Property, and to cover the costs and expenses associated with the
Partnership's liquidation and dissolution.  The Partnership may make one or more
interim distributions during its winding up process as contingent liabilities
lapse and the time of the liquidation and dissolution becomes more certain.
Upon liquidation and dissolution the Partnership will make a final distribution
of its remaining cash, constituting the remaining asset of the Partnership to
the limited partners.

The net proceeds from closing together with a portion of Partnership cash
reserves were utilized as follows:
