NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting

position and quarterly results. Interim reports should be

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
We are pleased to present the second quarter report for
Cedar Income Fund, Ltd. Net earnings for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997 were $182,421 ($.08 per share)
and $306,628 ($.14 per share), respectively, compared to
$128,924 ($.06 per share) and $294,945 ($.13 per share) for
the same periods in 1996. Net earnings increased slightly
from 1996 to 1997, primarily due to an increase in rental
income at Corporate Center East in Bloomington, Illinois,
partially offset by an increase in repairs and maintenance
expense. The Company's real estate portfolio had an overall
occupancy rate of 97% at June 30, 1997.
Rental income for the three and six months ended June 30,
1997 was $603,699 and $1,143,318, respectively, compared to
$521,652 and $1,080,699 for the same periods in 1996. This
increase is attributable to the Company's eventual success
in locating replacement tenants at Corporate Center East for
20,000 square feet of space that had been vacant since the
end of 1995. Rental income at Broadbent Business Center in
Salt Lake City, Utah increased by $27,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 compared to the same period one year ago
due to an increase in occupancy. This increase was offset
by a $29,000 decrease in rental income at Southpoint Parkway
in Jacksonville, Florida due to a decrease in occupancy
experienced during the first quarter of 1997. The Company
has subsequently leased this vacant space at Southpoint to
an existing tenant who began paying rent on the entire space
in May 1997. Rental income at Germantown Square in
Louisville, Kentucky was relatively unchanged from a year
ago. Interest income decreased by 11% due to a lower
balance of funds available for investment.
Total property expenses, excluding depreciation, increased
from $440,988 for the first six months of 1996, to $488,134
for the same period in 1997, representing 41% and 43% of
rental income, respectively. Repairs and maintenance were
higher for the first six months of 1997 compared to the same
period in 1996 primarily due to tenant remodeling and other
expenses incurred in 1997 that were not required last year.
As mentioned above, the Company has been successful in
locating replacement tenants for the vacant spaces that
existed at Corporate Center East and Southpoint. As a
result of releasing this space, the Company incurred capital
expenditures of $298,000 and lease commissions of $73,000
through June 30, 1997.
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 June 30, 1997 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, including capital
expenditures.
The Board of Directors declared a dividend of $.10 per
share, payable August 18, 1997 to shareholders of record
August 5, 1997. The Board of Directors will continue to
consider leasing prospects, operating results and the
financial condition of the Company in determining future
dividends.
