NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1: The unaudited interim financial statements are prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary
for a fair pesentation of the financial position and quarterly
results. Interim reports should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and related notes included in the
1995 Annual Report.
Note 2: Shareholders' equity, December 31, 1995 $ 14,961,628

Dividends to shareholders (673,624)
Shareholders' equity, September 30, 1996 $ 14,715,625
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
We are pleased to present the third quarter report for Cedar
Income Fund, Ltd. Net earnings for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1996 were $132,676 ($.06 per share) and
$427,621 ($.19 per share), respectively, compared to $205,710
($.09 per share) and $562,239 ($.25 per share) for the same
periods in 1995. Funds from operations (earnings from operations
plus depreciation) were $755,371 for the first nine months of
1996 compared to $889,452 for the same period in 1995.
Net earnings and funds from operations declined from 1995 to 1996
primarily due to the Hewlett Packard Corporation vacating 20,400
square feet of space at Corporate Center East in Bloomington,
Illinois when its lease expired on December 31, 1995. The
Company is in the process of obtaining one or more replacement
tenants and has subsequently leased 8,000 square feet of this
space. The Company's real estate portfolio had an overall
occupancy rate of 90% at September 30, 1996.
Rental income for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1996 was $532,692 and $1,613,391, respectively, compared to
$607,355 and $1,807,266 for the same periods in 1995. The
decrease in rental income is attributed to Corporate Center East,
where Hewlett Packard contributed approximately $210,000 in rents
during the first three quarters of 1995. This decrease was
partially offset by a 6% increase in rental income at Germantown
Square in Louisville, Kentucky due to higher base rents and
expense recoveries. Rental income at Southpoint Parkway Center
in Jacksonville, Florida and Broadbent Business Center in Salt
Lake City, Utah was relatively unchanged from a year ago. The
increase in interest income is due to a higher balance of funds
available for investment.
Total property expenses, excluding depreciation, decreased from
$722,808 for the first nine months of 1995 to $675,142 for the
same period in 1996, representing 40% and 42% of rental income,
respectively. Repairs and maintenance decreased primarily due to
tenant remodeling and other expenses incurred in 1995 that have
not been required this year. The increase in utilities is
primarily because Hewlett Packard was responsible for their own
utilities at Corporate Center East, but this expense is now the
Company's. The increase in other property expenses is primarily
the result of new signage required at Corporate Center East.
Capital resources of the Company consist of equity in real estate
investments and a mortgage loan receivable. The Company
maintains its real estate in good condition and provides adequate
insurance coverage. The Company's liquidity at September 30,
1996 is represented by cash and cash equivalents, a mortgage loan
participation and cash flow from operating activities. This
liquidity is considered sufficient to meet current obligations.
It has been the intention of the Company since its inception to
be essentially self-liquidating. While there are no legal
requirements that the Company be liquidated by a particular date
or within any particular time frame, the original expectation was
that the Company would be liquidated ten years following the
stock offering (completed in 1986). The manner in which the
liquidation was intended to be accomplished was by eventually
selling the assets and distributing to shareholders the net cash
proceeds. There are actually several options available to the
Company, so the Board of Directors has begun exploring the
various possibilities.
The Board of Directors declared a dividend of $.10 per share
payable November 18, 1996 to shareholders of record November 5,
1996. The Board of Directors will continue to consider leasing
prospects, operating results and the financial condition of the
Company in determining future dividends.
Edwin B. Lancaster, a director of the Company since its
inception, passed away on October 25, 1996. Mr. Lancaster will
be remembered for his knowledge and insight, his integrity and
dedication, and his genuine care and concern for the best
interests of the Company and its shareholders. He will most
certainly be missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing
him. We extend our deepest sympathies to his family and friends.
