                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 MARCH 31, 1996


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         GENERAL

         The information contained in the following notes to the financial
         statements is condensed from that which would appear in the annual
         audited financial statements; accordingly, the financial statements
         included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial
         statements and related notes thereto contained in the annual report for
         the year ended December 31, 1995 of REAL American Properties (the
         "Partnership"). Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently
         involve greater reliance on estimates than at year end. The results of
         operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily
         indicative of the results for the entire year.

         In the opinion of the Partnership, the accompanying unaudited financial
         statements contain all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal
         recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position
         of the Partnership as of March 31, 1996, and the results of operations
         and changes in cash flow for the three months then ended.

         ORGANIZATION

         The Partnership was formed under the California Limited Partnership Act
         on March 9, 1984. The Partnership was formed to invest in a diversified
         portfolio of five residential apartment projects, one of which was
         foreclosed on by the lender in 1993. Two of the remaining buildings
         were contributed to a separate unaffiliated limited partnership in
         1992, and were subsequently sold by such limited partnership in 1995 as
         more particularly described in Note 2. The remaining two apartment
         complexes were sold in April and May 1996. Accordingly, the
         Partnership's sole assets as of May 17, 1996 consist of cash, a
         contingent note receivable from the purchaser of the Partnership's
         Northridge property, and an interest in a publicly traded real estate
         investment trust described below. After the interest in the real estate
         investment trust [and the contingent note?] is converted to cash (Note
         2), the managing General partner intends to cause the Partnership to
         dissolve in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. The general
         partners are National Partnership Investments Corp. ("NAPICO"), a
         California corporation, and Real Estate Services XIII Inc. ("Real
         Estate"), a Delaware corporation. Casden Investment Corporation owns
         100 percent of NAPICO's stock. LBI Group Inc. owns 100 percent of the
         stock of Real Estate Services XIII Inc.

         The Partnership offered 45,000 limited partnership interests ("Units")
         at $1,000 each, of which 21,500 were sold through a public offering.
         The terms of the Partnership's Amended and Restated Certificate and
         Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement") provide,
         among other things, for allocation to the partners of profits, losses
         and any special allocations with respect thereto. Under the terms of
         the Partnership Agreement, cash available for distribution is allocated
         90 percent to the limited partners as a group and 10 percent to the
         general partners.

         Net proceeds from sale or refinancing are distributed 100 percent to
         the limited partners until they have received an amount equal to the
         aggregate adjusted capital values, as defined, plus a cumulative
         non-compounded 8 percent annual return. The balance is distributed 85
         percent to the limited partners and 15 percent to the general partners.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

         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 reported amounts of revenues and
         expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
         those estimates.

         RENTAL PROPERTY AND DEPRECIATION

         Rental property is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on the
         straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the buildings
         and equipment.

         On January 17, 1994, the Partnership's property located in Northridge,
         California sustained major damage due to the severe earthquake in the
         Los Angeles area. The operations of the property were severely
         affected since the Los Angeles County building inspectors
         declared the building unsafe for habitation. Accordingly, the entire
         property was vacated and has remained vacant since the earthquake.
         The property insurance coverage, which covers to a limited extent,
         among other things, property damage and loss of rental income. In
         August 1994, a partial settlement for property damage in the amount
         of approximately $3,909,000 was allocated to the Partnership under
         a master umbrella insurance policy, covering earthquake damage for
         this and other properties managed by an affiliate of NAPICO.

         In May 1995, the Partnership received from the insurance company the
         final settlement payment of $1,368,000 related to the earthquake loss.
         This amount is being held in an escrow account by the Northridge
         property lender. All insurance proceeds have been included in
         restricted cash and liability for earthquake loss at March 31, 1996 and
         December 31, 1995.

         Interest relating to the first and second mortgages on the Northridge
         property in the approximate amount of $1,345,000 and $1,199,000 as of
         March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively, was accrued
         and is included in accrued interest payable (See Note 3). In addition,
         unpaid property taxes of approximately $391,000 and $354,000 related to
         the Northridge property were accrued as of March 31, 1996 and
         December 31, 1995, respectively.

         The first mortgage lender had demanded that the Partnership turn over
         to it the insurance proceeds currently held by the Partnership.
         Pursuant to the terms of the loan documents between the Partnership and
         the lender, the lender had a security interest in and other rights to
         the insurance proceeds.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

         RENTAL PROPERTY AND DEPRECIATION (CONTINUED)

         On May 15, 1996, the Partnership sold the Northridge property. The
         Partnership realized net proceeds of approximately $900,000, which
         approximates the cash the Partnership was able to retain from the
         restricted cash account. Pursuant to a contingent note delivered
         by the purchaser at the closing, the Partnership is entitled to
         additional proceeds under certain conditions.

         On April 19, 1996, the Partnership sold West Colonial Apartments for
         $4,070,000 and realized and a gain of approximately $400,000.

         NET LOSS PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST

         Net loss per limited partnership interest was computed by dividing the
         limited partners' share of net loss by 21,500, the number of limited
         partnership interests outstanding for the periods presented.

         AMORTIZATION OF LOAN FEES

         Loan fees are being amortized on the straight-line method over a
         fifteen-year period.

         CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

         Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank certificates of
         deposit, with an original maturity of three months or less.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

         In September 1992, the Partnership completed an exchange transaction
         involving the Del Coronado I and II properties. The Partnership
         transferred the Del Coronado properties to an unaffiliated Arizona
         limited partnership, 843 South Longmore Limited Partnership, in
         exchange for a subordinated 20 percent limited partnership interest in
         843 South Longmore Limited Partnership. In August 1995, the Del
         Coronado properties were sold by 843 South Longmore Limited Partnership
         to a publicly held Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT"). The net
         proceeds of $5,682,262 paid to 843 South Longmore Limited Partnership
         was in the form of limited partnership interests in the operating
         partnership controlled by the REIT, which are convertible to cash or
         REIT stock, at the option of the REIT. Of the net proceeds, the
         Partnership received an allocation of 23,524 shares, with an
         approximate value of $735,000, as of March 31, 1996. The amount
         realized by the Partnership is subject to change due to stock market
         fluctuations, since the limited partnership shares cannot be redeemed
         for cash or REIT stock until August 1996. The Partnership intends to
         redeem the limited partnership shares for cash upon expiration of the
         redemption period, however, the REIT may elect to redeem the units for
         REIT shares, in which event the Partnership intends to cause the shares
         to be registered and sold in accordance with applicable laws. The
         investment in the 843 South Longmore Limited Partnership is being
         carried at a zero balance, and no gain will be recognized until the
         limited partnership interest is converted to cash.

NOTE 3 - MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE

         The Partnership had three notes payable separately secured by its two
         remaining properties as of March 31, 1996, as follows:

         a.    The Northridge property was encumbered as of March 31, 1996 by a
               first deed of trust securing a note in the approximate principal
               balance of $6,073,000, and a second deed of trust in the
               approximate principal balance of $410,000. The first note bore
               interest at 9.25% per annum and was payable in monthly
               installments of approximately $53,500. The entire balance of the
               note was due and payable on or before August 1, 1996. The
               Northridge second note bears interest at 10% per annum and was
               payable in monthly installments of approximately $3,400. The
               entire balance of the Northridge second note matured on November
               15, 1995. In February 1994, the Partnership ceased making
               payments to both of the lenders with respect to the Northridge
               property. The loans were repaid at less than 100% upon sale of
               the property on May 15, 1996.

         b.    The West Colonial Apartments was encumbered by a first deed of
               trust securing a note in the approximate principal balance of
               $3,157,000 as of March 31, 1996. The note bore interest at 10.7%
               per annum and was payable in monthly installments of
               approximately $32,000. The entire balance of the note was due and
               payable on or before July 31, 1996. The loan was repaid upon sale
               of the property on April 19, 1996.

NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES

         No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying
         financial statements as such taxes, if any, are the liability of the
         individual partners.

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         a.    The Partnership had entered into agreements with an affiliate of
               NAPICO to manage the operations of the West Colonial and
               Northridge rental properties owned by the Partnership. The
               agreements were on a month-to-month basis and provided, among
               other things, for a management fee equal to 5% of gross revenue
               for West Colonial through July 23, 1995 and approximately $2,450
               per month, as compensation for continuing property management
               services and reconstruction oversight at the Northridge property
               damaged by the earthquake. Management fees charged by the NAPICO
               affiliate under these agreements were approximately $7,400 and
               $19,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,
               respectively. Included in these management fees is approximately
               $7,400 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 which was
               included in earthquake costs. On July 24, 1995, management of
               West Colonial was transferred to an independent property
               management firm. The management agreement was on a month-to-month
               basis and provided for a management fee of 3.5% of gross revenue,
               equal to $6,614 for the three months ended March 31, 1996.
               Included in other receivables and prepaid expenses at March 31,
               1996 and December 31, 1995, is $86,194 due from the affiliated
               company of NAPICO that served as the rental agent for a 
               property that was owned by the Partnership.

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         b.    The Partnership reimburses NAPICO for certain expenses. The
               reimbursement to NAPICO was $2,098 and $3,146 for the three
               months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively and is
               included in the Partnership's operating expenses.

         c.    Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership may
               be obligated to pay the general partners or their affiliates a
               liquidation fee equal to 15% of the net proceeds from sale or
               refinancing of a project. No part of such fee shall be paid
               unless the limited partners have first received certain amounts
               as stated in the Partnership Agreement.

         d.    Certain other fees may be payable to the general partners, under
               certain circumstances, as stated in the Partnership Agreement.

         e.    Pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding entered into on
               August 11, 1995, the affiliated company, that served as the
               management company for properties owned by the Partnership, paid
               to the Partnership $66,706 in interest on May 1, 1996. The
               interest relates to Partnership funds maintained in a master
               disbursement account by the management company. The interest is
               included in income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
               in other receivables and prepaid expenses at March 31, 1996.

               In addition, the Partnership on May 1, 1996 reimbursed Real
               Estate Services XIII Inc. $50,000 for professional fees, which
               were estimated to have been paid on behalf of the Partnership in
               connection with issues raised in the Memorandum of Understanding.
               The amount is included in professional fees for the three months
               ended March 31, 1996 and in accounts payable and accrued expenses
               at March 31, 1996.

NOTE 6 - LITIGATION

         NAPICO is a plaintiff in various lawsuits and has also been named as
         defendant in other lawsuits arising from transactions in the ordinary
         course of business. In the opinion of management and NAPICO, the claims
         will not result in any material liability to the Partnership.

NOTE 7 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosure about
         Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of fair value
         information about financial instruments. The carrying amount of assets
         and liabilities reported on the balance sheets that require such
         disclosure approximates fair value due to their short-term maturity.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

The Partnership received a total of $10,750,000 in subscriptions for units of
limited partnership interests (at $1,000 per unit) during the period September
12, 1985 to February 28, 1986, pursuant to a registration statement on Form
S-11. $10,750,000 in subscriptions were received pursuant to the exercise of
warrants and the sale of additional limited partnership interests from April 1,
1986 to May 31, 1986.

The Partnership's primary sources of funds are income from rental operations and
interest income on money market funds and certificates of deposit.

The Partnership acquired five apartment complexes since its inception, one of
which was foreclosed by the lender in 1993. In 1992, two of the remaining
buildings  (the Del Coronado Properties) were contributed to 843 South Longmore
Limited Partnership, an unaffiliated limited partnership, and such liability
were thereafter sold by said partnership for REIT shares in August of 1995. The
partnerships remaining two apartment complexes (Northridge and West Colonial) 
were sold subsequent to March 31, 1996.

In August 1995, the Del Coronado properties were sold by 843 South Longmore
Limited Partnership to a publicly held Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT").
The net proceeds of $5,682,262 paid to 843 South Longmore Limited Partnership
was in the form of limited partnership interests in the operating partnership
controlled by the REIT, which are convertible to cash or REIT stock, at the
option of REIT. Of the net proceeds, the Partnership received an allocation of
23,524 units, with an approximate value of $735,000 as of March 31, 1996. The
amount realized by the Partnership is subject to change due to stock market
fluctuations, since the limited partnership units cannot be redeemed for cash or
REIT stock until August 1996. The Partnership intends to redeem the limited
partnership shares for cash; however, the REIT may elect to redeem the units for
REIT shares, in which event the Partnership intends to cause such shares to be
registered and sold in accordance with applicable laws. The investment in 843
South Longmore Limited Partnership is being carried at a zero balance, and no
gain will be recognized until the limited partnership interest is converted to
cash.

In 1995, the Partnership advanced funds to partially cover the operating
deficits of the West Colonial property in the amount of $73,000. Such advances
have been funded from the Partnership's working capital reserve.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Rental operations consist primarily of rental income and depreciation expense,
debt service, and normal operating expenses to maintain the properties.
Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the buildings and equipment. Substantially all of the rental units in
the West Colonial apartment project are leased on a month-to-month basis.

On January 17, 1994, the Northridge rental property sustained major damage due
to the severe earthquake in the Los Angeles area. The current operations of the
property were materially affected since the Los Angeles County building
inspectors declared the building unsafe for habitation. Accordingly, the entire
property was vacated and has remained vacant since the earthquake. The property
insurance covered, to a limited extent, among other things, property damage and
loss of rentals as a result of the earthquake. In August 1994, a partial
settlement for property damage in the amount of approximately $3,909,000 was
allocated to the Partnership under a master umbrella insurance policy, covering
earthquake damage for this and other properties managed by a related party.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

In May 1995, the Partnership received from the insurance company the final
settlement payment of $1,368,000 related to the earthquake loss. This amount is
being held in an escrow account by the Northridge property lender. All insurance
proceeds have been included in restricted cash and liability for earthquake loss
at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995.

Interest relating to the first and second mortgages on the Northridge property
in the approximate amount of $1,345,000 and $1,199,000 as of March 31, 1996 and
December 31, 1995, respectively, was accrued and is included in accrued interest
payable. In addition, unpaid property taxes of approximately $391,000 and
$354,000 related to the Northridge property were accrued as of March 31, 1996
and December 31, 1995, respectively. As compensation for continuing property
management services, the managing agent, which is an affiliate of NAPICO, was
paid $2,450 per month.

The first mortgage lender had demanded that the Partnership turn over to it the
insurance proceeds held by the Partnership. Pursuant to the terms of the loan
documents between the Partnership and the lender, the lender had a security
interest in and other rights to the insurance proceeds.

On May 15, 1996, the Partnership sold the Northridge property. The Partnership
realized net proceeds of approximately $900,000, approximates the cash the
Partnership was able to retain from the restricted cash account. The Partnership
is entitled to additional proceeds under certain conditions.

On April 19, 1996, the Partnership sold West Colonial Apartments for $4,070,000
and realized gain of approximately $400,000.

Partnership operations consist primarily of interest income earned on
certificates of deposit and other temporary investment of funds not required for
investment in projects. Included in interest income for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 is $66,706 in interest related to funds maintained in the master
disbursement account and received on May 1, 1996, in accordance with the
Memorandum of Understanding (see "Legal Proceedings"). Operating expenses of the
Partnership consist substantially of recurring general and administrative
expenses and professional fees for services rendered to the Partnership.
Included in professional fees for the three months ended March 31, 1996 is
$50,000 payable to Real Estate Services XIII Inc. for professional fees paid on
behalf of the Partnership in connection with issues raised in the Memorandum of
Understanding (see "Legal Proceedings").

The Partnership did not make cash distributions during the first three months of
1996.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS:

As of December 31, 1995, NAPICO was a plaintiff or a defendant in several
lawsuits. None of these suits were related to the Partnership.

Real Estate Services XIII Inc., a General Partner of the Partnership, and
certain of its affiliates, on their own behalf and on behalf of the Partnership
and certain other partnerships with which they are associated (collectively, the
"Plaintiff Partnerships"), and NAPICO, and certain of its affiliates, have
entered into a Memorandum of Understanding dated August 11, 1995 and a
Supplement to Memorandum of Understanding dated April 30, 1996 collectively the
("MOU"). In addition to establishing certain Partnership controls, the MOU
resolves and settles various management and control issues which were under
discussion for some time and various claims which were raised in a lawsuit filed
in the Los Angeles Superior Court on June 9, 1995 by Real Estate Services XIII
Inc., the Partnership and others against, among others, NAPICO ("the Lawsuit").
All parties entered into the MOU without any admission of wrongdoing or
liability by any defendant as to any claim in the Lawsuit, in a desire to avoid
continued litigation that would be expensive, time consuming and complex.

By virtue of the MOU, the parties thereto have agreed, among other things, to
the following:

     1.  An analysis was prepared of the books and records of the Partnership
         including an analysis of the books and records of the master
         disbursement account maintained by the Partnership's property
         management company, Mayer Management, Inc. ("MMI"), an affiliate of
         NAPICO. Based on the analysis, on May 1, 1996, MMI paid to the
         Partnership $66,706 in interest related to funds it maintained in the
         master disbursement account.

     2.  The property management agreement for the Northridge property by and
         between the Partnership and MMI, was extended until the earlier of the
         commencement of reconstruction of the building or the sale of the
         property to an unaffiliated third party, subject to certain agreed-upon
         amendments. Since the property was sold on May 15, 1996, such
         management agreement in no longer in effect.

     3.  On May 1, 1996, the Partnership reimbursed Real Estate Services XIII
         Inc. $50,000 for professional fees, which were estimated to have been
         paid on behalf of the Partnership in connection with issues raised in
         the MOU.

     4.  The Partnership has engaged an independent Cash Manager, designated by
         Real Estate Services XIII Inc. and approved by NAPICO, to perform cash
         management services, including maintenance of the Partnership's bank
         accounts and reserves, payment of property management fees and other
         accounts payable, payments to affiliates of NAPICO, and payment of cash
         distributions, if any, to the Limited Partners. NAPICO has agreed to
         prepare detailed annual budgets to be approved by Real Estate Services
         XIII Inc. and thereafter used by the Cash Manager as a guide and
         control over Partnership operations.

         and become a limited partner thereof.
