PART 1.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS:
REAL American Properties ("RAP" or the "Partnership") was a limited partnership
which was formed under the laws of the State of California on March 9, 1984. The
Partnership was formed to invest in residential rental properties either
directly or through investments in joint ventures and other partnerships which
invest in such real estate. On July 26, 1985, RAP offered 45,000 units of
limited partnership interest ("Units") through a public offering. The
Partnership completed its offering with a total of 21,500 Units sold and
$21,500,000 raised from Limited Partners.
The general partners of the Partnership were National Partnership Investments
Corp. ("NAPICO"), a California corporation (the "Corporate General Partner") and
Real Estate Services XIII Inc. ("RES XIII"), a Delaware corporation. The
business of RAP was conducted primarily by its general partners as RAP has no
employees of its own.
Casden Investment Corporation ("CIC") owns 100 percent of NAPICO's stock. The
current members of NAPICO's Board of Directors are Charles H. Boxenbaum, Bruce
E. Nelson, Alan I. Casden, Henry C. Casden, and Brian D. Goldberg. RES XIII is
100 percent owned by LB I Group Inc.
The Partnership originally invested in five apartment buildings. Two of such
buildings were contributed to a separate limited partnership in exchange for a
subordinated limited partner interest therein, which, in turn, exchanged the
buildings for an interest in a publicly traded Real Estate Investment Trust
("REIT"). The Partnership sold the REIT stock it received as a result of that
exchange in November 1996 for $890,371. One building was foreclosed upon by the
lender in June 1993 and one building was substantially destroyed in the January
17, 1994 earthquake in the Los Angeles area and was sold in May 1996. The other
building was sold in April 1996. Distributions of $2,823,700 were paid to the
limited partners during 1996. Accordingly, since the Partnership's primary
assets at December 31, 1996 consisted of cash of approximately $345,000 and
certain short-term receivables and other claims, the Partnership was dissolved
effective December 31, 1996.
NAPICO was appointed the liquidation agent for the Partnership pursuant to a
Liquidation Agreement, made as of December 1, 1996, among the Partnership,
NAPICO, and RES XIII. Under the terms of the Liquidation Agreement, the
liquidation agent will pursue collection of the Partnership's outstanding
receivables and other non-liquid assets and, subject to the approval of RES
XIII, cause the Partnership's final tax returns and reports to be filed. Upon
collection and liquidation of the Partnership's remaining assets, the
liquidation agent will cause the final distribution(s) to be paid to the
partners in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Agreement of
Limited Partnership of the Partnership. The liquidation agent shall be entitled
to (a) utilize its reasonable discretion in liquidating the Partnership's
remaining assets and (b) reimbursement for all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred in conforming its duties under the Liquidation Agreement.

The Units were not traded on a public exchange but were sold through a public
offering. It was not anticipated that any public market would develop for the
purchase and sale of any Units. Units were transferrable only if certain
requirements were satisfied. As of December 31, 1996, there were 1,748
registered holders of Units in RAP.

The decrease in operations in 1993 compared to 1992 was due to the foreclosure
of one rental property in 1993. The decrease in operations in 1995 and 1994
compared with 1993 was attributable to the Northridge property which was vacant
since the January 17, 1994 earthquake in the Los Angeles area. See Item 7 where
the effects of the earthquake are discussed further. The Northridge property and
West Colonial Apartments (which was the Partnership's only remaining operating
property prior to its sale), were sold in 1996.
<PAGE> 5
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY
The Partnership's primary sources of funds were income from rental operations
and interest income on money market funds and certificates of deposit.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
RAP 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 acquired five apartment complexes since inception, one of which
was foreclosed by the lender in 1993. As a result of the anticipated
foreclosure, a loss of $766,000 was recorded in 1992. Two of the Partnership's
remaining buildings were contributed to a separate limited partnership in 1992,
and were subsequently sold in 1995 as more particularly described in the next
paragraph. The remaining two apartment complexes, one of which was substantially
damaged in the January 17, 1994 Northridge Earthquake and was unoccupied, were
sold in 1996.
In August 1995, the Del Coronado properties were sold by 843 South Longmore
Limited Partnership to a publicly held 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, which were converted to
REIT stock. The Partnership sold the REIT stock in November 1996 for $891,000,
and recognized a gain in that amount because the investment was being carried at
a zero balance.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RAP was formed to invest in residential rental properties either directly or
through investments in joint ventures and other partnerships which will invest
in such real estate, as discussed in Item 1.
Rental operations consisted primarily of rental income and depreciation expense,
debt service, and normal operating expenses to maintain the properties.
Depreciation was provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the buildings and equipment. Substantially all of the rental units were
leased on a month-to-month basis.
A property management fee was payable to an affiliate of NAPICO for management
of the West Colonial property through July 23, 1995. As of July 24, 1995,
management of the West Colonial property was transferred to an independent
property management firm. An affiliate of NAPICO managed the Northridge property
through the date of sale.
On January 17, 1994, the Northridge rental property sustained major damage due
to the severe earthquake in the Los Angeles area and the entire property was
vacated since the earthquake. The property was covered by insurance, which
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. An amount of
approximately $127,000 has been accrued in the financial statements for 1994 to
provide for the estimated loss to be incurred by the Partnership.
<PAGE> 6
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 was
held in an escrow account by the Northridge property lender. 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. All
insurance proceeds plus related interest earned, net of earthquake related costs
incurred, were included in restricted cash and liability for earthquake loss at
December 31, 1995. Unpaid interest of $1,199,000 and property taxes of $354,000
relating to the Northridge property were accrued as of December 31, 1995. As
compensation for continuing property management services, the managing agent,
which is an affiliate of NAPICO, was paid $2,450 per month.
On May 15, 1996, the Partnership sold the Northridge property. The Partnership
realized a net gain of approximately $1,796,000. Pursuant to a contingent note
received from the purchaser at the closing, the Partnership is entitled to
certain property tax refunds and additional sales proceeds under certain
conditions.
On April 19, 1996, the Partnership sold West Colonial Apartments for $4,070,000
and realized a gain of approximately $444,000.
Partnership operations consisted primarily of interest income earned on
certificates of deposit and other temporary investment of funds. The amount of
interest income varied with market rates available on certificates of deposit
and with the amount of funds available for investment. Operating expenses of the
Partnership consisted substantially of recurring general and administrative
expenses and professional fees for services rendered to the Partnership.
The Partnership distributed $2,823,700 to the limited partners during 1996. No
distributions were made during 1995 and 1994. As described under Item 1 above,
the Partnership was dissolved as of December 31, 1996, and as of that date the
Partnership's remaining assets consisted of approximately $345,000 of cash and
certain short-term receivables and other claims, and its remaining liabilities
consisted of approximately $112,000 of accounts payable. The Partnership's
remaining assets and liabilities were assigned to NAPICO as the liquidation
agent under the Liquidation Agreement, and are reflected as a net distribution
of $232,925 to the limited partners, which is due from NAPICO, subject to the
payment of costs and expenses of the liquidation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Partners of
REAL American Properties
(A California limited partnership)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of REAL American Properties (a
California limited partnership) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
related statements of operations, partners' equity (deficiency) and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. Our audits
also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index on item 14.
These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the management of the Partnership. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement
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 REAL American Properties as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, such
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.

REAL AMERICAN PROPERTIES
(a California limited partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Organization
REAL American Properties (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
apartment complexes. The general partners of the Partnership
are National Partnership Investments Corp. ("NAPICO"), a
California corporation, and Real Estate Services XIII Inc.
("RES XIII"), a Delaware corporation. Casden Investment
Corporation owns 100% of NAPICO's stock.
The Partnership offered 45,000 units of limited partnership
interests at $1,000 each, of which 21,500 were sold, through a
public offering. The terms of the Amended and Restated
Certificate and Agreement of Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership Agreement") provided, 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 was
allocated 90% to the limited partners as a group and 10% to
the general partners.
Net proceeds from sale or refinancing were distributed 100% to
the limited partners until they received an amount equal to
the aggregate adjusted capital values, as defined, plus a
cumulative non-compounded 8% annual return. The balance is
distributed 85% to the limited partners and 15% to the general
partners.
Losses were allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to
the general partners.
After the investment in limited partnership was converted to
cash (Note 2), the Partnership was dissolved effective
December 31, 1996, after distributions of $2,823,700 were paid
to the limited partners during 1996.
NAPICO was appointed the liquidation agent for the Partnership
pursuant to a Liquidation Agreement, made as of December 1,
1996, among the Partnership, NAPICO, and RES XIII. Under the
terms of the Liquidation Agreement, the liquidation agent will
pursue collection of the Partnership's outstanding receivables
and other non-liquid assets and, subject to the approval of
RES XIII, cause the Partnership's final tax returns and
reports to be filed. Upon collection and liquidation of the
Partnership's remaining assets, the liquidation agent will
cause the final distribution(s) to be paid to the partners in
accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated
Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership. The
liquidation agent shall be entitled to (a) utilize its
reasonable discretion in liquidating the Partnership's
remaining assets and (b) reimbursement for all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred in conforming its duties under the
Liquidation Agreement. As of December 31, 1996, the
Partnership's remaining assets consisted of cash of
approximately $345,000 and certain short-term receivables and
other claims, and its remaining liabilities consisted of
approximately $112,000 of accounts payable. The Partnership's
remaining assets and liabilities were assigned to NAPICO as
the liquidation agent under the Liquidation Agreement, and are
reflected as a net distribution of $232,925 to the limited
partners, which is due from NAPICO, subject to the payment of
costs and expenses of the liquidation.

b. 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

</TABLE>
On January 17, 1994, the Northridge rental property sustained
major damage due to the severe earthquake in the Los Angeles
area and the entire property was vacated since the earthquake.
The casualty insurance policy insuring the Northridge property
covered to a limited extent, property damage and loss of
rentals due to 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 an affiliate of NAPICO. An
amount of approximately $127,000 was accrued in the financial
statements for 1994 to provide for the estimated loss to be
incurred by the Partnership.
In November 1995, the Partnership received from the insurance
company the final settlement payment of $1,368,000 related to
the earthquake loss. This amount was held in an escrow account
by the Northridge property lender. 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. All insurance proceeds plus related
interest earned, net of earthquake related costs incurred,
were included in restricted cash and liability for earthquake
loss at December 31, 1995. Unpaid interest of $1,199,000 and
property taxes of $354,000 relating to the Northridge property
were accrued as of December 31, 1995.
On May 15, 1996, the Partnership sold the Northridge property.
The Partnership realized a gain of approximately $1,796,000.
Pursuant to a contingent note received from the purchaser at
the closing, the Partnership is entitled to certain property
tax refunds and additional sales proceeds under certain
conditions.
On April 19, 1996, the Partnership sold West Colonial
Apartments for $4,070,000 and realized a gain of approximately
$444,000.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
d. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of unrestricted cash and
certificates of deposit, with an original maturity of three
months or less. The Partnership has its cash and cash
equivalents on deposit primarily with one money market mutual
fund. Such cash and cash equivalents are uninsured.
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% limited partnership interest in the
Arizona 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 were in
the form of limited partnership interests in the operating
partnership controlled by the REIT, which were convertible to cash or
REIT stock, at the option of the REIT. Of the net proceeds, the
Partnership received an allocation equivalent to 23,524 shares, which
were converted to REIT stock. The Partnership sold the REIT stock in
November 1996 for $891,000, and recognized a gain in that amount
because the investment was being carried at a zero balance.
3. MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE
Mortgage notes payable consisted of the following as of December 31,
1995:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
a. Mortgage note bearing interest at the rate of
9.25 percent per annum; payable in monthly
installments of approximately $53,500
including interest through August 1996, at
which time the then outstanding principal
balance of the note was due and payable.
Collateralized by the Northridge property
land and buildings with a net book value of
$7,496,195 at December 31, 1995 (See
below).
$6,072,583
b. Mortgage note (second), interest only at
10% per annum; payable in monthly installments
of approximately $3,400 through November 15,
1995, at which time the outstanding principal

==========
</TABLE>
In February 1994, the Partnership ceased making payments to the
mortgage lenders of the Northridge property, pending negotiations
regarding the major damage sustained during the January 17, 1994
earthquake (See Note 1). Both the first and second notes were repaid
upon the sale of the property in May 1996, however, the second note was
paid after a discount of approximately $100,000.
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. The major differences in tax and financial
reporting result from the use of different bases and depreciation
methods for rental property held by the Partnership.
5. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST
Net income (loss) per limited partnership interest was computed by
dividing the limited partners' share of net income (loss) by 21,500,
the number of limited partnership interests outstanding during each
year.
6. 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 for the Northridge property through the date of sale.
Management fees charged by the NAPICO affiliate

might have been obligated to pay the general partners or their
affiliates a liquidation fee equal to 15% of the net proceeds from

11, 1995, an affiliate of NAPICO, 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. In addition, the Partnership on
May 1, 1996 reimbursed Real Estate Services XIII Inc. $50,000 for
professional fees, which were paid on behalf of the Partnership in
connection with issues raised in the Memorandum of Understanding.
7. CONTINGENCIES
NAPICO is a plaintiff in various lawsuits and has also been named as a
defendant in other lawsuits arising from transactions in the ordinary
course of business. None of these suits were related to the Partnership
and in the opinion of management and NAPICO, the claims will not result
in any material liability to the Partnership.
