                                    PART I
                                        
ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

The registrant, First Capital Income Properties, Ltd. - Series X (the
"Partnership"), is a limited partnership organized in 1984 under the Florida
Uniform Limited Partnership Law. The Partnership sold 43,861 Limited Partnership
Units (the "Units") to the public from September 1984 to September 1985,
pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in
this report have the same meaning as those terms have in the Partnership's
Registration Statement.

The business of the Partnership is to invest primarily in existing or to-be-
developed real estate, such as shopping centers, warehouses, office buildings,
and, to a lesser extent, in other types of income-producing commercial real
estate. From December 1984 to February 1988, the Partnership made one real
property investment, purchased 50% interests in two joint ventures and a 25%
interest in one joint venture each with Affiliated partnerships. These joint
ventures were each formed for the purpose of acquiring a 100% interest in
certain real property and, prior to dissolution are operated under the common
control of First Capital Financial Corporation (the "General Partner"). Through
December 31, 1997, the Partnership sold its real property investment and, with
Affiliated partnerships, dissolved two of the joint ventures as a result of the
disposition or sale of the real property interests.

Property management services for the Partnership's real estate investments are
provided by a third party for fees calculated as a percentage of gross rents
received from the properties.

The real estate business is highly competitive. The results of operations of the
Partnership will depend upon the availability of suitable tenants, real estate
market conditions and general economic conditions which may impact the success
of these tenants. The property owned by the Partnership frequently competes for
tenants with similar properties owned by others.

As of March 1, 1998, there were 27 employees at the Partnership's property for
on-site property maintenance and administration.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES (a)(b)

As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership owned, through a joint venture
interest, the following property, which was owned in fee simple and was
encumbered by a mortgage.  For details of the material terms of the mortgage,
refer to Note 5 of Notes to Financial Statements.

     depreciable assets were depreciated over their applicable recovery periods.
     For the year ended December 31, 1997, the Partnership's portion of real
     estate taxes for the Glendale Center Shopping Mall ("Glendale") was
     $248,200, which was net of refunds related to previous years received, a

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
    FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The ordinary business of the Partnership is expected to pass through three
phases: (i) Offering of Units and investment in properties, (ii) operation of
properties and (iii) sale or other disposition of properties.
 
The Partnership commenced the Offering of Units on September 25, 1984
(inception), and terminated the Offering on September 24, 1985, upon the sale
of 43,861 Units. From December 1985 to February 1988 the Partnership acquired
four real property interests, including two 50% joint venture interests and one
25% joint venture interest.
 
In 1992, the Partnership, in addition to being in the operation of properties
phase, entered the disposition phase of its life cycle. During the disposition
phase of the Partnership's life cycle, comparisons of operating results are
complicated due to the timing and effect of property sales. Partnership
operating results are generally expected to decline as real property interests
are sold since the Partnership no longer receives income generated from such
real property interests. Through December 31, 1997, the Partnership has sold
one real property investment and liquidated two joint venture investments.
 
OPERATIONS
The table below is a recap of certain operating results of each of the
Partnership's properties for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995.
The discussion following the table should be read in conjunction with the
Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing in this report.

(b) Property net income excludes a loss from provision for value impairment of
    $2,700,000 and $6,300,000, for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,
    respectively (see Note 8 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional
    information).
(c) This property was sold in June 1997. Property net income excludes a gain

    (see Note 8 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information).
 
COMPARISON OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
1996
Net (loss) income changed from $(2,332,100) for the year ended December 31,
1996 to $1,560,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. The change was
primarily due to the $2,700,000 provision for value impairment recorded in 1996
for Glendale Center Shopping Mall ("Glendale") and the $799,400 gain on sale
recorded in 1997 for Regency Park Shopping Center ("Regency").
 
Net income exclusive of provisions for value impairment and the gain on sale
and operating results of Regency increased by $385,400 for the year ended
December 31, 1997 when compared to the year ended December 31, 1996. The
increase was primarily due to improved operating results at Glendale and an
increase in interest income earned on the Partnership's short-term investments.
The increase in interest income was primarily due to an increase in the average
amount of cash available for investment in 1997.
 
The following comparative discussion excludes the operating results of Regency.
 
Rental revenues decreased by $102,300 or 2.9% for the year ended December 31,
1997 when compared to the year ended December 31, 1996. The decrease was
primarily due to a decrease in the amount of percentage rental income collected
from the tenants due to declining sales at Glendale. Also causing the decrease
was lower base rental income resulting from a slow but steady reduction in
Glendale's occupancy. Partially offsetting the decrease was an increase in
consideration received for the early termination of tenants' leases.
 
Real estate taxes decreased by $214,300 for the year ended December 31, 1997
when compared to the year ended December 31, 1996. The decrease was primarily
due to a successful appeal of the taxing authority's assessed value of
Glendale. As a result of a decreased assessed value, the Partnership paid lower
taxes during 1997 for tax year 1996 than estimated.
 
Property operating expenses decreased by $112,900 for the year ended December
31, 1997 when compared to the year ended December 31, 1996. The decrease was
primarily due to a decrease in personnel, professional, security and utility
costs, partially offset by an increase in advertising and promotional costs, at
Glendale.
 
Interest expense decreased by $60,000 for the year ended December 31,1997 when
compared to the year ended December 31, 1996. The decrease was primarily due to
the effects of principal payments made during the past 24 months on the
Glendale mortgage loan.
 
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $29,200 for the year ended
December 31,1997 when compared to the year ended December 31, 1996. The
decrease was primarily due to the provision for value impairment recorded in
1996 which reduced the depreciable basis of Glendale's assets.
 
COMPARISON OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
1995
Net results improved by $4,939,500 for the year ended December 31, 1996 when
compared to the year ended December 31, 1995. The improvement was primarily the
result of the differences in the amounts of provisions for value impairment
recognized during the years under comparison. The 1995 results included
provisions totaling $7,300,000, while 1996 included a provision of $2,700,000.
 
                                                                               7
<PAGE>
 
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
    FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--(CONTINUED)
 
Exclusive of the provisions for value impairment, net income improved $339,500
for the year ended December 31, 1996 when compared to the year ended December
31, 1995. The improvement was primarily due to improved operating results at
Glendale and to a lesser extent at Regency. The improvement was also due to a
decrease in general and administrative expenses which was primarily the result
of decreased legal, data processing, printing and mailing costs.
 
Rental revenues remained relatively unchanged for the year ended December 31,
1996 when compared to the year ended December 31, 1995.
 
Interest expense decreased by $181,400 for the periods under comparison. The
decrease was primarily due to a reduction in the variable interest rate on the
Glendale loan and a reduction in the fixed interest rate on the Regency loan as
well as the effects of principal payments made during the past 24 months on the
Partnership's mortgage loans.
 
Depreciation and amortization decreased by $132,900 for the year ended December
31, 1996 when compared to the year ended December 31, 1995. The decrease was
primarily the result of the effects of provisions for value impairment taken on
the Partnership's properties.
 
Real estate tax expense increased by $42,500 for the year ended December 31,
1996 when compared to the year ended December 31, 1995. The increase was
primarily the result of increased 1996 taxes at Glendale in comparison with
those payable in 1995.
 
The rate of inflation has remained relatively stable and has had a minimal
impact on the operating results of the Partnership. The nature of various
tenant lease clauses protects the Partnership, to some extent, from increases
in the rate of inflation. Certain of the lease clauses provide for: 1) annual
rent increases based on the Consumer Price Index or graduated rental increases;
2) percentage rentals for which the Partnership receives as additional rent as
a percentage of a tenant's sales over predetermined amounts and 3) total or
partial tenant reimbursement of property operating expenses including real
estate taxes.
 
To increase and/or maintain the occupancy level at the Partnership's remaining
property, the General Partner, through its Affiliated asset and third party
property management groups, continues to take the following actions: 1)
implementation of marketing programs, including hiring of third-party leasing
agents or providing on-site leasing personnel, advertising, direct mail
campaigns and development of building brochures; 2) promotion of local broker
events and networking with local brokers; 3) networking with national level
retailers; 4) cold-calling other businesses and tenants in the market area and
5) providing rental concessions or competitively pricing rental rates,
depending on market conditions.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
One of the Partnership's objectives is to dispose of its properties when market
conditions allow for the achievement of the maximum possible sales price. In
the interim, the Partnership continues to manage and maintain its remaining
property. Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) is generally not
equal to net income or cash flows as determined by generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP"), since certain items are treated differently
under the Partnership Agreement than under GAAP. Management believes that to
facilitate a clear understanding of the Partnership's operations, an analysis
of Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) should be examined in
conjunction with an analysis of net income or cash flows as determined by GAAP.
The second table in Selected Financial Data includes a reconciliation of Cash
Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) to cash flow provided by
operating activities as determined by GAAP. Such amounts are not indicative of
actual distributions to Partners and should not necessarily be considered as an
alternative to the results disclosed in the Statements of Income and Expenses
and Statements of Cash Flow.
 
The increase in Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) of $244,800
for the year ended December 31, 1997 when compared to the year ended December
31, 1996 was primarily due to the improved operating results at Glendale,
exclusive of depreciation, amortization and provisions for value impairment, as
previously discussed.
 
The increase in the Partnership's cash position of $916,400 during the year
ended December 31, 1997 was primarily the result of Sale Proceeds and net cash
provided by operating activities exceeding principal payments on mortgage
loans, cash used for capital and tenant improvements and leasing costs and
investments in debt securities. Liquid assets of the Partnership as of December
31, 1997 were comprised of amounts held for working capital purposes.
 
The increase in net cash provided by operating activities of $441,200 for the
year ended December 31, 1997 when compared to the year ended December 31, 1996,
was primarily the result of improved operating results at Glendale, exclusive
of depreciation and amortization, as previously discussed.
 
Net cash (used for) provided by investing activities changed from $(725,200)
for the year ended December 31, 1996 to $4,121,100 for the year ended December
31, 1997. The change was due primarily to the proceeds received from the sale
of Regency and the decrease in expenditures for capital and tenant improvements
and leasing costs at the Partnership's properties. The Partnership maintains
working capital reserves to pay for capital expenditures such as building and
tenant improvements and leasing costs and to potentially facilitate the
refinancing of the mortgage loan collateralized by Glendale.
 
On June 16, 1997, the joint venture in which the Partnership owns a 25%
interest, completed the sale of Regency. The Partnership's share of the net
proceeds, after the repayment of the mortgage loan, received from this
transaction amounted to $867,800. Uncertainty surrounding Glendale, as
discussed below, made it necessary for the Partnership to retain all proceeds
received from the sale of Regency.
 
Net cash used for financing activities increased by $3,832,700 for the year
ended December 31, 1997 when compared to the year ended December 31, 1996. The
increase was due primarily to the repayment of the mortgage loan collateralized
by Regency in connection with its sale.
 
The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, has contracted for
substantially all of its business activities with certain principal entities
for which computer programs are utilized. Each of these companies is
financially responsible and have represented to management of the General
Partner that they are taking appropriate steps for modifications needed to
their respective systems to accommodate processing data by Year 2000.
Accordingly, the Partnership anticipates incurring no material Year 2000 costs
and is
 
8
<PAGE>
 
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
    FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
currently not aware of any material contingencies related to this matter.
 
The mortgage loan collateralized by Glendale contains provisions that require
that a portion of the cash generated by Glendale be utilized to reduce the
outstanding mortgage balance. In March 1998 the Partnership's share of the
payment for calendar year 1997 was $262,700.
 
  As discussed in the Partnership's 1996 annual report to Partners, the
Partnership continues to face uncertainty as to the future performance of
Glendale, despite the improved operating results. Increased competition in the
regional area has resulted in a continued reduction in the sales for the two
anchor tenants as well as the specialty tenants at Glendale. The leases of the
two anchor tenants at Glendale expire in January 2001. It is still currently
uncertain whether one or both of the anchor tenants will vacate at their lease
expiration dates. The loss of the anchor tenants without suitable replacements
could result in the loss of many of the specialty tenants pursuant to
contingency provisions within their respective leases. The General Partner is
continuing to pursue alternative tenants as well as exploring other possible
options for Glendale. In addition to the issue related to the future tenancy
levels at Glendale, the mortgage loan secured by Glendale matures on January 1,
1999, subject to extension options. The Partnership is currently evaluating
alternatives including extending or refinancing the existing mortgage loan or
pursuing the sale of the property. Any potential extension or refinancing could
result in the Partnership having to further reduce the principal balance of the
mortgage.
 
  As a result of the future tenancy matters at Glendale together with the cash
requirements of its mortgage loan, the General Partner believes that it is in
the best interest of the Partnership to retain all cash available. Accordingly,
distributions continue to be suspended. The General Partner believes that Cash
Flow (as defined by the Partnership Agreement) is one of the best and least
expensive sources of cash available to the Partnership. For the year ended
December 31,1997, Cash Flow (as defined by the Partnership Agreement) of
$436,700 was retained to supplement working capital reserves. The amount of
future distributions to Partners will ultimately be dependent upon the
performance of Glendale as well as the General Partner's determination of the
amount of cash necessary to supplement working capital reserves to meet future
liquidity requirements. There can be no assurance as to the amount and/or
availability of cash for future distributions to Partners.
 
  Based upon the current estimated value of its assets, net of its outstanding
liabilities, together with its expected operating results and capital
expenditure requirements, the General Partner believes that the Partnership's
cumulative distributions to its Limited Partners from inception through the
termination of the Partnership will be substantially less than such Limited
Partners' original Capital Investment.

(c)  None.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

(a)  An Affiliate of the General Partner provides supervisory and asset
     management services to the Partnership. For the year ended December 31,
     1997, this Affiliate was entitled to supervisory and asset management fees
     and reimbursements of $31,600. In addition, other Affiliates of the General
     Partner were entitled to fees, compensation and reimbursements of $62,300
     for insurance, personnel, and other miscellaneous services for 1997.
     Compensation for these services are on terms which are fair, reasonable and
     no less favorable to the Partnership than reasonably could be obtained from
     unaffiliated persons. Of the foregoing amounts, a total of $500 was due to
     Affiliates as of December 31, 1997 and $2,400 was due to the Partnership
     from Affiliates.
 
     As of December 31, 1997, $10,000 was due to the General Partner for a real
     estate commission earned in connection with the sale of a Partnership
     property. This commission has been accrued but not paid. Under the terms of
     the Partnership Agreement, this fee will not be paid until such time as
     Limited Partners have received cumulative distributions of Sale or
     Refinancing Proceeds equal to 100% of their Original Capital Contribution,
     plus a cumulative return (including all Cash Flow which has been
     distributed to the Limited Partners) of 6% simple interest per annum on
     their Capital Investment.
      
     In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, subsequent to September 24,
     1985, the Termination of the Offering, the General Partner is entitled to
     10% of Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), as a
     Partnership Management Fee. For the year ended December 31, 1997, in
     conjunction with the suspension of distributions of Cash Flow (as defined
     in the Partnership Agreement) to Limited Partners, the General Partner was
     not paid a Partnership Management Fee.
 
     In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, Net Profits (exclusive of Net
     Profits from the sale or disposition of Partnership properties) are
     allocated to the General Partner in an amount equal to the greater of 1% of
     such Net Profits or the Partnership Management Fee paid by the Partnership
     to the General Partner during such year, and the balance, if any, to the
     Limited Partners. Net Losses (exclusive of Net Losses from the sale,

Partners
First Capital Income Properties, Ltd. - Series X
Chicago, Illinois

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of First Capital Income
Properties, Ltd. - Series X as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related
statements of income and expenses, partners' capital and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, and the financial
statement schedule listed in the accompanying index. These financial statements
and schedule are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedule 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
all material respects, the financial position of First Capital Income
Properties, Ltd. - Series X at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
December 31, 1997
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
DEFINITION OF SPECIAL TERMS:
Capitalized terms used in this report have the same meaning as those terms have
in the Partnership's Registration Statement, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on Form S-11. Definitions of these terms are contained in
Article III of the First Amended and Restated Certificate and Agreement of
Limited Partnership, which is incorporated herein by reference.
 
ORGANIZATION:
The Partnership was formed on May 31, 1984, by the filing of a Certificate and
Agreement of Limited Partnership with the Department of State of the State of
Florida, and commenced the Offering of Units on September 25, 1984. The
Certificate and Agreement, as amended and restated, authorized the sale to the
public of 50,000 Units and not less than 1,400 Units. On October 23, 1984, the
required minimum subscription level was reached and the Partnership's
operations commenced. In September, 1985, the Offering was Terminated upon the
sale of 43,861 Units. The Partnership was formed to invest primarily in
existing, improved, income-producing commercial real estate.
 
The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership will be dissolved on or
before December 31, 2014. The Limited Partners, by a majority vote, may
dissolve the Partnership at any time.
 
ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The Partnership utilizes the accrual
method of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recorded when earned and
expenses are recorded when incurred.
 
Preparation of the Partnership's financial statements in conformity with GAAP
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.
 
The financial statements include the Partnership's 50% interest in one joint
venture and its 25% interest in another joint venture with Affiliated
partnerships. These joint ventures were formed for the purpose of each
acquiring a 100% interest in certain real property and are operated under the
common control of the General Partner. Accordingly, the Partnership's pro rata
share of the venture's revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and Partners'
capital was included in the financial statements.
 
The Partnership is not liable for Federal income taxes as the Partners
recognize their proportionate share of the Partnership income or loss in their
individual tax returns; therefore, no provision for income taxes is made in the
financial statements of the Partnership. In addition, it is not practicable for
the Partnership to determine the aggregate tax bases of the Limited Partners;
therefore, the disclosure of the differences between the tax bases and the
reported assets and liabilities of the Partnership would not be meaningful.
 
Commercial rental property is recorded at cost, net of any provisions for value
impairment, and depreciated (exclusive of amounts allocated to land) on the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Lease acquisition fees
are recorded at cost and amortized on straight-line method over the life of
each respective lease. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred;
expenditures for improvements are capitalized and depreciated on the straight-
line method over the estimated life of such improvements.
 
The Partnership evaluates it rental property for impairment when conditions
exist which may indicate that it is probable that the sum of expected future
cash flows (undiscounted) from such property is less than its carrying basis.
Upon determination that a permanent impairment has occurred, the rental
property is reduced to estimated fair value. Except as disclosed in Note 8, the
General Partner was not aware of any indicator that would result in a
significant impairment loss during the periods reported.
 
Loan acquisition costs are amortized over the term of the note issued under the
mortgage loan made in connection with the acquisition of Partnership properties
or refinancing of Partnership loans. When a property is disposed of or a loan
is refinanced, the related loan acquisition costs and accumulated amortization
are removed from the respective accounts and any unamortized balance is
expensed.
 
Property sales are recorded when title transfers and sufficient consideration
has been received by the Partnership. Upon disposition, the related costs and
accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the respective
accounts. Any gain or loss is recognized in accordance with GAAP.
 
Cash equivalents are considered all highly liquid investments with a maturity
of three months or less when purchased.
 
Investments in debt securities at December 31, 1997 are comprised of corporate
debt securities and are classified as held-to-maturity. These investments are
carried at their amortized cost basis in the financial statements which
approximates fair market value. All of these securities had a maturity of less
than one year when purchased.
 
The Partnership's financial statements include financial instruments, including
receivables, escrow deposits, mortgage debt and trade liabilities. The
Partnership considers the disclosure of the fair value of its mortgage debt to
be impracticable due to the general illiquid nature of the real estate
financing market and an inability to obtain comparable financing on its
property due to a decline in market value. The fair value of all other
financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, included in the
financial statements, was not materially different from their carrying value at
December 31, 1997 and 1996.
 
2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
 
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, subsequent to September 24, 1985,
the Termination of the Offering, the General Partner is entitled to 10% of Cash
Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), as a Partnership
 
                                                                             A-5

Management Fee. For the year ended December 31, 1997, in conjunction with the
suspension of distributions of Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership
Agreement) to Limited Partners, the General Partner was not paid a Partnership
Management Fee.
 
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, Net Profits (exclusive of Net
Profits from the sale or disposition of Partnership properties) are allocated
to the General Partner in an amount equal to the greater of 1% of such Net
Profits or the Partnership Management Fee paid by the Partnership to the
General Partner during such year, and the balance, if any, to the Limited
Partners. Net Losses (exclusive of Net Losses from the sale, disposition and
provision for value impairment of Partnership properties) are allocated 1% to
the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners. Net Profits from the sale
or disposition of a Partnership property are allocated: first, prior to giving
effect to any distribution of Sale or Refinancing Proceeds from the
transaction, to all Partners with negative balances in their Capital Accounts,
pro rata in proportion to such respective negative balances, to the extent of
the total of such negative balances; second, to the General Partner in an
amount necessary to make the positive balance in its Capital Account equal to
the amount of Sale or Refinancing Proceeds to be distributed to the General
Partner with respect to the sale or disposition of such property; and third,
the balance, if any, to the Limited Partners. Net Losses from the sale,
disposition of Partnership properties or provisions for value impairment are
allocated: first, after giving effect to any distribution of Sale or
Refinancing Proceeds from the transaction, to all Partners with positive
balances in their Capital Accounts, pro rata in proportion to such respective
positive balances, to the extent of the total amount of such positive balances;
and second, the balance, if any, 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the
Limited Partners. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, there shall be
allocated to the General Partner not less than 1% of all items of Partnership
income, gain, loss, deduction and credit during the existence of the
Partnership. For the year ended December 31, 1997, the General Partner was
allocated Net Profits of $15,600, including $8,000 of the Net Profit from the
sale of Regency. For the year ended December 31, 1996, the General Partner was
allocated a Net (Loss) of $(23,300) which included a (loss) from a provision
for value impairment of $(27,000). For the year ended December 31, 1995, the
General Partner was allocated a Net (Loss) of $(72,700) which included a (loss)
from provisions for value impairment of $(73,000).

    a Partnership property. This commission has been accrued but not paid. In
    accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership shall not pay
    the General Partner or any Affiliate a real estate commission from the sale
    of a Partnership property until Limited Partners have received cumulative
    distributions of Sale or Refinancing Proceeds equal to 100% of their
    Original Capital Contribution, plus a cumulative return (including all Cash
    Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) which has been distributed
    to the Limited Partners from the initial investment date) of 6% simple
    interest per annum on their Capital Investment.
 
3. FUTURE MINIMUM RENTALS:
 
The Partnership's share of future minimum rental income due on noncancelable
leases as of December 31, 1997 was as follows:
 
<TABLE>
                    <S>         <C>

                    2000          1,373,100
                    2001            947,900
                    2002            823,600
                    Thereafter    1,931,200
                             --------------

                             --------------
</TABLE>
 
The Partnership is subject to the usual business risks associated with the
collection of the above-scheduled rentals. In addition to the amounts scheduled
above, the Partnership expects to receive rental revenue from operating expense
and real estate tax reimbursements and percentage rents. Percentage rents
earned for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 were $102,300,
$192,900 and $249,300, respectively. To provide comparability in the financial
statements, the Partnership netted the effects of real estate tax refunds from
prior periods received in 1997 with any such amounts due to tenants and related
rental revenues.
 
4. ESCROW DEPOSITS:
 
Escrow deposits in the amount of $100,400 as of December 31, 1997 represented
the Partnership's share of an amount being held by the mortgage holder of the
Glendale Center Shopping Mall as reserves to pay for capital expenditures such
as building and tenant improvement and leasing costs.

</TABLE>
(a) Each property is owned through a joint venture. Amounts represent the
    Partnership's share of the liability and not the total amount by which the
    property is encumbered.
(b) The repayment will require either sale or refinancing of the property.
(c) The interest rate on this loan is variable at LIBOR plus 4.5%, with
    interest payable monthly. Monthly payments of principal are based on an 11-
    year amortization with an interest rate of 9.5%. The joint venture is
    required to pay annually additional principal equal to 50% of net cash flow
    (pursuant to the loan agreement) from the property for each prior calendar
    year by March 31 of the following year. Additionally, certain debt coverage
    requirements (pursuant to the loan agreement) must be met each quarter and
    deficiencies in reaching benchmarks will require additional principal
    payments. The additional principal payment of 50% of net cash flow that the
    joint venture is required to pay in 1998 for the 1997 calendar year is
    $525,300, of which the Partnership's share is $262,700. The payments made
    in 1997 for the 1996 calendar year were $444,600, of which the
    Partnership's share was $222,300. At its option, upon meeting certain
    covenants, the Partnership has two options to extend the maturity date for
    one year each.
(d) This represents the weighted average interest rate for the year ended
    December 31, 1997. The interest rate is subject to change in accordance
    with the provisions within the loan agreement. As of December 31, 1997, the
    interest rate on the Glendale loan was 10.4688%.
(e) The joint venture which owns Regency, in which the Partnership owns a 25%
    interest with Affiliated partnerships, repaid the mortgage collateralized
    by Regency with a portion of the proceeds from its sale. For further
    information see Note 7.
 
The Partnership's principal amortization of mortgage loan payable for each of
the next two years as of December 31, 1997 is as follows, if options to extend
are not exercised:
 
<TABLE>
                    <S>   <C>
                    1998  $  776,500

                          $6,559,700
                             -------
</TABLE>
 
6. INCOME TAX:
 
The Partnership utilizes the accrual basis of accounting for both income tax
reporting and financial statement purposes. Financial statement results will
differ from tax results due to the use of differing depreciation lives and
methods, the recognition of rents received in advance as taxable income and the
Partnership's provisions for value impairment. For the year ended December 31,
1997, net (loss) for income tax reporting purposes was $(2,252,100). The
aggregate cost of commercial rental properties for Federal income tax purposes
at December 31, 1997 was $25,906,500.
 
7. PROPERTY SALE:
 
On June 16, 1997, the joint venture in which the Partnership has a 25%
interest, completed the sale of Regency Park Shopping Center, located in
Jacksonville, Florida, for a sale price of $19,325,000, of which the
Partnership's share was $4,831,300. The Partnership's share of net proceeds
from this transaction was $867,800, which is net of closing expenses and the
repayment of the mortgage loan encumbering the property, and has been retained
to supplement working capital. The Partnership recorded a gain of $799,400 for
the year ended December 31, 1997 for financial reporting purposes from this
sale. The Partnership recorded a (loss) of $(2,315,800) for income tax
reporting purposes for the year ended December 31, 1997 in connection with this
sale.
 
8. PROVISIONS FOR VALUE IMPAIRMENT:
 
Due to the depressed economic environment in the retail industry, regional
factors affecting the Partnership's properties, the uncertainty with respect to
the significant anchor tenants and other matters relating specifically to
certain of the Partnership's properties, there was uncertainty as to the
Partnership's ability to recover the net carrying value of certain of its
properties during their remaining estimated holding periods. Accordingly, it
was deemed appropriate to reduce the bases of such properties in the
Partnership's financial statements during the years ended December 31, 1996 and
1995. The provisions for value impairment were considered non-cash events for
the purposes of the Statements of Cash Flow and were not utilized in the
determination of Cash Flows (as defined in the Partnership Agreement).
 
The following is a summary of the provisions for value impairment reported by
the Partnership for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995:
