                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 1996
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.       ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL REPORTING POLICIES

         The condensed  financial  statements included herein have been prepared
         by  the  Partnership,   without  audit,   pursuant  to  the  rules  and
         regulations   of  the   Securities   and   Exchange   Commission.   The
         Partnership's  accounting  and  financial  reporting  policies  are  in
         conformity with generally  accepted  accounting  principles and include
         all  adjustments  in interim  periods  considered  necessary for a fair
         presentation  of the results of  operations.  Certain  information  and
         footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
         in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles have been
         condensed  or omitted  pursuant  to such rules and  regulations.  It is
         suggested  that  these  condensed  financial   statements  be  read  in
         conjunction  with  the  financial  statements  and  the  notes  thereto
         included in the Registrant's latest annual report on Form 10-K.

         The accompanying financial statements reflect the Partnership's results
         of operations for an interim period and are not necessarily  indicative
         of the results of operations for the year ending December 31, 1996.


2.       TAXABLE INCOME (LOSS)

         The Partnership's taxable loss for 1996 is expected to differ from that
         for   financial   reporting   purposes   primarily  due  to  accounting
         differences in the recognition of results of operations.


3.       INTEREST EXPENSE

         Interest expense on the Caulkins note has been accrued through March 4,
         1996,  the date of the  Chapter  11 filing.  Assuming  the same rate of
         interest as under the terms of the note,  additional  interest  expense
         for the period  March 5, 1996  through  June 30, 1996 would be $697,045
         for a six months total of $1,075,102.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

         This Item should be read in conjunction  with the financial  statements
         and other items contained elsewhere in the report.

         Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The  Partnership's  only  business is owning and operating a commercial
         citrus  grove  consisting  of  approximately  3,150  acres  of land and
         related improvements and equipment located near Stuart,  Martin County,
         Florida (the  "Grove").  The two mortgages  encumbering  the Grove were
         scheduled  to mature on  January  31,  1996.  The  first  mortgage  was
         extended to May 30, 1996. In February,  1996,  the holder of the second
         mortgage, Caulkins Citrus Company ("Caulkins"), terminated negotiations
         with the Partnership  with respect to a loan  modification,  declared a
         default and commenced foreclosure proceedings.  In addition, a receiver
         was appointed to collect revenues and take over control of the Grove.

          On March 4, 1996,  as a result of the pending  foreclosure  proceeding
          instituted by Caulkins,  the  Partnership  filed for protection  under
          Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Act in the Federal District
          Court  for  the  State  of  Florida,   Southern   District  (Case  No.
          96-30843-BKC-SHF).  In connection  with the bankruptcy the Partnership
          resumed  legal  possession  of the  Grove  and  its  accounts  and the
          Receiver  was  removed.  The  Partnership  has  submitted  its plan of
          reorganization to the Bankruptcy  Court.  Creditors of the Partnership
          also have the right to submit plans to the Bankruptcy Court.  Pursuant
          to the terms of the  Partnership's  plan,  the existing  mortgage debt
          would be extended  five years and the  Partnership  would agree to use
          its  reserves  to fund  any  cash  flow  shortfalls.  There  can be no
          assurance  that the  Bankruptcy  court will approve the  Partnership's
          plan. If the  Partnership  is not  permitted to  reorganize  under the
          Bankruptcy Act or cannot reach an agreement with the existing lenders,
          the Partnership  will lose the Grove in a foreclosure  proceeding.  In
          addition,  if the  Partnership's or a similar plan were to be adopted,
          it is unlikely that the Partnership  will be able to achieve  earnings
          which will enable or permit the Partnership to make  distributions  to
          its partners. At this time, it appears that investors will not receive
          a return of a substantial  portion of their original investment in the
          Registrant.

         The level of liquidity based on cash and cash equivalents experienced a
         $1,889,160  increase at June 30, 1996 as compared to December 31, 1995.
         This  increase  is  primarily  due to the fact  that  there was no debt
         service payment made during the first six months of 1996.

         The Partnership  invests its working capital reserves in a money market
         account or  repurchase  agreements  secured by United  States  Treasury
         obligations.


         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Operating  results  improved by $405,588  for the six months ended June
         30, 1996 as  compared to 1995 due to a decrease in interest  expense of
         $599,297,  which  offset a decrease  in the  operating  margin on fruit
         sales of  $101,558,  a decrease  in  interest  income of $18,151 and an
         increase in other expenses of $74,000.

         Interest expense  decreased by $599,247 because no interest was accrued
         for the Caulkins  note after March 4, 1996,  the date of the Chapter 11
         filing.  If interest  expense on the note had been accrued through June
         30, 1996, there would have been $697,045 of additional expense.

         The operating  margin on fruit sales  decreased by $101,558 for the six
         months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to 1995 due to a decrease in the
         number  of boxes of fruit  harvested  during  the  1995-96  crop  year,
         562,170, compared with 740,390 for the 1994-95 crop year, a decrease of
         24%. Taking into account the timing of the harvest, the number of boxes
         harvested  during the calendar year  decreased  from 558,770 during the
         first six months of 1995, to 449,850 for the same period of 1996.  This
         decrease  was due to  adverse  weather  conditions,  and was  partially
         offset by a slight  increase in the price  received per  pound-solid of
         fruit.  The harvesting  expense per box cost remained  constant for the
         six months  ended June 30, 1996 as  compared  to 1995 at  approximately
         $1.90 per box.

         The  increase  in other  expenses  of $74,000  was  attributable  to an
         increase  in general  and  administrative  expenses  of  $70,913.  This
         increase  was due  primarily  to legal and other  costs  related to the
         Chapter 11 filing.
