PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Unless otherwise indicated, all references to "Notes" are to Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report. Capitalized
terms used herein, but not defined, have the same meanings as used in the
Notes.
The registrant, JMB Mortgage Partners, Ltd. - III (the "Partnership"),
is a limited partnership formed in 1985 and currently governed by the
Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of Illinois to make
first mortgage loans and senior land purchase-leasebacks/leasehold mortgage
loans and, to a lesser extent, wrap-around and junior mortgage loans and
land purchase-leaseback arrangements on a subordinated basis. On July 24,
1985, the Partnership commenced an offering of $50,000,000 (subject to
increase by up to $50,000,000) in Limited Partnership Interests (the
"Interests") pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 under the
Securities Act of 1933 (Registration No. 0- 016253). A total of 65,232.69
Interests were sold to the public at an offering price of $1,000 per
Interest before certain discounts for volume purchases (fractional
interests are due to Distribution Reinvestment Program). The offering
terminated August 31, 1986. No Limited Partner has made any additional
capital contribution after such date. The Limited Partners of the
Partnership share in their portion of the benefits of ownership of the
Partnership's mortgage investments according to the number of Interests
held.
The Partnership was engaged solely in the business of investing in
real estate, such as residential garden apartment complexes and smaller
commercial properties through participating first mortgage loans and
certain other mortgage investments. As of December 31, 1997, all of the
Partnership's investments in real estate have been liquidated. The
Partnership's mortgage investments were located throughout the nation and
it had no mortgage investments located outside of the United States. A
presentation of information about industry segments, geographic regions,
raw materials or seasonality is not applicable and would not be material to
an understanding of the Partnership's business taken as a whole. Pursuant
to the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is required to terminate no
later than December 31, 2035. The Partnership is self-liquidating in
nature. At disposition of a particular mortgage investment or property
through sale, repayment or maturity of such investment, the net proceeds,
if any, were held for working capital, distributed or reinvested in
existing mortgage investments or properties held, rather than invested in
acquiring additional mortgage investments. Reference is also made to
Item 7.

The Partnership's fundings of a participating first mortgage loan secured
by Franklin Farm Village Center, located in Fairfax County, Virginia and
subsequent payoff in October 1996 are described in the Notes, which
descriptions are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
The properties including those securing the Partnership's mortgage
investments were subject to competition from similar types of properties
(including, in certain areas, properties owned by affiliates of the General
Partners) in the respective vicinities in which they were located. Such
competition was generally for the retention of existing tenants.
Additionally, the properties including those which secured the
Partnership's mortgage were in competition for new tenants. Reference is
made to Item 7. The Partnership maintained the suitability and
competitiveness of its owned property in its market primarily on the basis
of effective rents, tenant allowances and service provided to tenants.
The Partnership has no employees other than personnel which performed
on-site duties at the North Rivers Market Shopping Center, prior to its
sale, in December 1997, none of whom were officers or directors of the
Corporate General Partner of the Partnership.
The terms of transactions between the Partnership, the General
Partners, and their affiliates are set forth in Item 11 below to which
reference is hereby made for a description of such terms and transactions.

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE PARTNERSHIP'S LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS
AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS
As of December 31, 1997, there were 11,592 record holders of Interests
of the Partnership. There is no public market for Interests and it is not
anticipated that a public market for Interests will develop. Upon request,
the Corporate General Partner may provide information relating to a
prospective transfer of Interests to an investor desiring to transfer his
Interest. The price to be paid for the Interests as well as any other
economic aspects of the transaction will be subject to negotiation by the
investor. There are certain conditions and restrictions on the transfer of
Interests, including, among other things, the requirements that the
substitution of a transferee of Interests as a Limited Partner of the
Partnership be subject to the written consent of the Corporate General
Partner, which may be granted or withheld in its sole and absolute
discretion. The rights of a transferee of Interests who does not become a
substituted Limited Partner will be limited to the rights to receive his
share of profits or losses and cash distributions from the Partnership, and
such transferee will not be entitled to vote such Interests or have other
rights of a Limited Partner. No transfer will be effective until the first
day of the next succeeding calendar quarter after the requisite transfer
form satisfactory to the Corporate General Partner has been received by the
Corporate General Partner. The transferee consequently will not be
entitled to receive any cash distributions or any allocable share of
profits or losses for tax purposes until such succeeding calendar quarter.
Profits or losses from operations of the Partnership for a calendar year in
which a transfer occurs will be allocated between the transferor and the
transferee based upon the number of quarterly periods in which each was
recognized as the holder of Interests, without regard to the results of
Partnership's operations during particular quarterly periods and without
regard to whether cash distributions were made to the transferor or
transferee. Profits or losses arising from the sale or other disposition
of Partnership properties will be allocated to the recognized holder of the
Interests as of the last day of the quarter in which the Partnership
recognized such profits or losses. Cash distributions to a holder of
Interests arising from the sale or other disposition of Partnership
properties will be distributed to the recognized holder of the Interests as
of the last day of the quarterly period with respect to which distribution
is made.
Reference is made to Item 6 below for a discussion of cash
distributions made to the Limited Partners.
Reference is made to Item 7 below for a discussion of unsolicited
tender offers received from unaffiliated third parties.

(a) The above selected financial data should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this annual report.
(b) The net earnings (loss) per Interest are based upon the number of Interests outstanding at the end of
each period (65,237.69).
(c) Cash distributions from the Partnership are generally not equal to Partnership income (loss) for
financial reporting or Federal income tax purposes. Each partner's taxable income from the Partnership in each
year is equal to his allocable share of the taxable income of the Partnership, without regard to the cash
generated or distributed by the Partnership. Accordingly, cash distributions to the Limited Partners since the
inception of the Partnership have not resulted in taxable income to such Limited Partners and have therefore
represented a return of capital.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As a result of the public offering as described in Item 1, the
Partnership had approximately $57,800,000 (after deducting selling expenses
and other offering costs) with which to make mortgage investments and to
satisfy working capital requirements. A portion of the proceeds was
utilized to make the mortgage loans described in Item 1 above.
At December 31, 1997, the Partnership and its consolidated ventures
had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $17,300,000. Approximately
$4,960,000 of such funds were remitted to the affiliated venture partner in
January 1998 as substantially all of their share of the proceeds from the
sale of North Rivers Market. In February 1998, approximately $11,221,000
($172 per Interest) was distributed to the Limited Partners and
approximately $217,000 to the General Partners representing a substantial
portion of the sales proceeds from the sale of the North Rivers Market
investment property and a portion of the Partnership's working capital
reserve. As the Partnership's last remaining real estate investment was
sold in December 1997, the remaining funds will be held to pay for the
Partnership's remaining expenses and liabilities with any remaining amounts
expected to be distributed to the Limited and General Partners upon
liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of the
Partnership Agreement. In connection with the sale of the North Rivers
Market shopping center and as is customary in such transactions, certain
representations and warranties were made to the buyer of the North Rivers
Market shopping center (in the maximum amount of $500,000 or approximately
$332,000 to the Partnership)as discussed more fully in the Notes. In
February 1997, approximately $20,876,000 ($320 per Interest) was
distributed to the Limited Partners representing a portion of the proceeds
of the sale of Spring Hill Fashion Corner and the repayment of Franklin
Farm and Riverpoint mortgage loans as discussed below. In addition,
approximately $15,657,000 ($240 per Interest) was distributed to the
Limited Partners in November 1997 representing substantially all of the
proceeds of the July 1997 repayment of the Shoppes at Rivergate mortgage
loan, distributions of prior Partnership cash generated from operations and
a portion of the Partnership's working capital reserve. The General
Partners will not receive their subordinated portion of sales and repayment
proceeds due to the limitations upon such distributions as discussed in the
Notes.
During 1996, some of the Limited Partners in the Partnership received
from unaffiliated third parties unsolicited tender offers to purchase up to
4.9% of the Interests in the Partnership at between $440 and $500 per
Interest. The Partnership recommended against acceptance of these offers
on the basis that, among other things, the offer prices were inadequate.
The board of directors of JMB Realty Corporation ("JMB"), the corporate
general partner of the Partnership, has established a special committee
(the "Special Committee") consisting of certain directors of JMB to deal
with all matters relating to tender offers for Interests in the
Partnership, including any and all responses to such tender offers. The
Special Committee has retained independent counsel to advise it in
connection with any potential tender offers for Interests and has retained
Lehman Brothers Inc. as financial advisor to assist the Special Committee
in evaluating and responding to any additional potential tender offers for
Interests.
<PAGE>
During 1997 two other unaffiliated third parties made unsolicited
tender offers to some of the Holders of Interests. These offers sought to
purchase up to 4.9% of the Interests in the Partnership at prices ranging
between $200 and $480 per Interest. All of such offers have expired. The
Special Committee recommended against acceptance of these offers on the
basis that, among other things, the offer prices were inadequate. As of
the date of this report, the Partnership is aware that 4.15% of the
outstanding Interests have been purchased in 1996, 1997 and 1998 by all
such unaffiliated third parties either pursuant to such tender offers or
through negotiated purchases. As the Partnership is currently winding up
its affairs and expects to make a final liquidating distribution in late
1998, it is unlikely that any further tender offers will be made for
Interests.
SHOPPES AT RIVERGATE
During 1996, the Lender had preliminary discussions with the borrower
regarding an early repayment of the mortgage loan at an amount less than
what would otherwise be due under the terms of the original mortgage loan.
In March 1997, the Partnership issued a payoff letter to the borrower of
the loan secured by this property regarding an early repayment of the
mortgage loan at an amount less than what was otherwise due under the terms
of the original mortgage loan. Pursuant to such agreement, on July 16,
1997, the Partnership received $11,600,000, representing payment in full on
the mortgage loan. Reference is made to the Notes for a further
description of such event.
FRANKLIN FARM VILLAGE CENTER
During July 1996, the Lenders executed an agreement with the borrower
regarding an early repayment of the mortgage loan. Such agreement allowed
the borrower to repay the loan at a predetermined amount prior to November
8, 1996. Pursuant to such agreement, the Lenders received $16,275,000 on
October 30, 1996 (of which the Partnership's share was $5,490,371) as
payment in full of all principal and interest due on the mortgage loan.
NORTH RIVERS MARKET SHOPPING CENTER
The Partnership had committed to a plan to sell the property in the
near term and had classified this property as held for sale as of
December 31, 1996. On December 30, 1997 the North Rivers Market Associates
joint venture sold the land and related improvements of the North Rivers
Market Shopping Center for $14,708,742. Reference is made to the Notes for
a further description of such event.
RIVERPOINT CENTER
The borrower had notified the Lenders that it was experiencing
financial difficulties and approached the Lenders regarding a loan
modification. During the third quarter of 1996, the Lenders and borrowers
finalized a loan modification. In conjunction with the modification
agreement, the Lenders agreed to accept at certain dates through June 30,
1997 repayment of the loan at specified amounts. As repayment of the loan
per such agreement yielded the Lenders an amount less than the carrying
amount of the loan, the Partnership recognized as of July 1, 1996 an
additional provision for loan loss of $110,209. On December 24, 1996, the
borrower, in accordance with the agreement repaid the lenders $27,400,000
(of which the Partnership's share was $12,224,616) in full satisfaction of
the mortgage loan.
CALIBRE POINT APARTMENTS
Calibre Pointe Associates sold the property on May 30, 1996 for
$14,450,000 (before selling costs) which was paid in cash at closing.
Reference is made to the Notes for a further description of such event.
<PAGE>
SPRING HILL FASHION CORNER
In October 1996, JMB/Spring Hill Associates ("JMB/Spring Hill")
finalized a contract for the sale of the Spring Hill Fashion Corner. On
November 13, 1996, JMB/Spring Hill sold the property to an unaffiliated
third party for $9,200,000, all of which was received (less closing costs)
in cash at closing. As a result of the sale, JMB/Spring Hill recognized a
loss for Federal income tax reporting purposes of approximately $1,030,000.
As the sale per the contract was estimated to result in a loss of
approximately $775,000 for financial reporting purposes, as a matter of
prudent accounting practice, JMB/Spring Hill recognized a $775,000
provision for value impairment at September 30, 1996, of which $252,263 was
allocated to the Partnership. When the sale of the property was completed
in November 1996, JMB/Spring Hill, after the effect of the September 1996
provision for value impairment, recognized a gain of approximately $3,000
for financial reporting purposes, of which approximately $960 was allocated
to the Partnership.
GENERAL
In an effort to reduce Partnership operating expenses, the Partnership
had elected to make a semi-annual operating distribution each year
beginning in November 1995.
The affairs of the Partnership are expected to be wound up in 1998,
barring unforeseen economic developments. However, the Partnership's goal
of capital appreciation will not be achieved. Aggregate sale and repayment
distributions received by Holders of Interest over the entire term of the
Partnership will be less than their original investment.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The decrease in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1997 as
compared to December 31, 1996 is primarily due to the temporary investment
in 1996 of proceeds from the 1996 sale of the Spring Hill investment
property and the repayments of the Franklin Farm and Riverpoint mortgage
loans. Such proceeds were distributed in February 1997 as discussed above.
Such decrease was partially offset by the December 1997 receipt of proceeds
from the North Rivers Market sale as discussed above.
The decreases in various assets, liabilities and venture partners'
equity in ventures at December 31, 1997 as compared to December 31, 1996 is
primarily due to repayment of the mortgage loan secured by the Shoppes at
Rivergate Shopping Center in July 1997 and the sale of North Rivers Market
Shopping Center in December 1997.
The decrease in rental income and property operating expenses for the
year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to December 31, 1996 and the year
ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995 is
primarily due to the May 30, 1996 sale of the Calibre Pointe Apartments.
The decrease in interest income and mortgage investment servicing fees
for the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the year ended December
31, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the year ended
December 31, 1995 is primarily due to the repayment of the mortgage loan
secured by the Shoppes at Rivergate Shopping Center in 1997, the mortgage
loans secured by the Franklin Farm Village Center and the Riverpoint
Shopping Centers in 1996 and the 1996 sales of the Calibre Pointe
Apartments and Spring Hill Fashion Center.
The decrease in depreciation expense for the year ended December 31,
1997 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1996 is primarily due to
the North Rivers Market Shopping Center being classified as held for sale
or disposition as of December 31, 1996. The decrease in depreciation
expense for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the year ended
December 31, 1995 is primarily due to the Calibre Pointe property being
classified as held for sale or disposition as of January 1, 1996 and the
subsequent sale of the property in May 1996.
<PAGE>
The increase in professional services for the year ended December 31,
1996 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995 is primarily due to
expenses incurred in connection with tender offer matters, as discussed
above.
The decrease in amortization of deferred costs for the year ended
December 31, 1997 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1996 and the
increase in amortization of deferred costs for the year ended December 31,
1996 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995 is due to all costs
becoming fully amortized due to the 1996 repayment of the mortgage loans
secured by the Franklin Farm Village Center and Riverpoint Shopping Center.
The provision for loan losses for 1996 are the result of loan loss
provisions recorded on the mortgage notes secured by the Riverpoint
Shopping Center and Rivergate Shopping Center. The provision for loan
losses for 1995 represents the loan loss provision recorded on the mortgage
note secured by the Riverpoint Shopping Center.
The 1995 provision for value impairment of $2,300,000 was due to such
provision being recorded at the North Rivers Market property at
September 30, 1995.
The decrease in Partnership's share of operations of unconsolidated
venture for the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the year ended
December 31, 1996 is primarily due to the November 1996 sale of the
JMB/Spring Hill investment property. The decrease in Partnership's share
of operations of unconsolidated venture for the year ended December 31,
1996 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995 is due primarily to a
provision for value impairment recorded at Spring Hill Fashion Corner at
September 30, 1996 in the amount of $775,000 (of which the Partnership's
share is $252,263) and to the decrease in rental income at the Spring Hill
Fashion Corner.
The decrease in venture partner's share of ventures' operations for
the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to December 31, 1996 is
primarily due to the 1996 sale of the Calibre Pointe Apartments. The
increase in venture partner's share of ventures' operations for the year
ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995 is
primarily due to the $770,000 portion of the North Rivers Market value
impairment allocated to the venture partner at September 30, 1995.
The gain on sale of interest in unconsolidated venture at December 31,
1996 is due to the sale of the Partnership's interest in Spring Hill
Fashion Corner.
The gains on sale on investment properties, net of venture partner's
share, in 1997 is due to the sale of the North Rivers Market Shopping
Center and in 1996 is due to the sale of the Calibre Pointe Apartments.
INFLATION
Due to the decrease in the level of inflation in recent years,
inflation generally has not had a material effect on the operations of the
Partnership. Due to the sale of the Partnership's last remaining
investment property in 1997 and the expected liquidation of the Partnership
during 1998, inflation is not expected to significantly impact future
operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995
OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
GENERAL
The Partnership held an investment portfolio of first mortgage loans
and (through joint ventures) investments in commercial real estate.
Business activities consisted of the collections of interest and principal
on such loans and, with respect to its former equity investment, rentals to
a variety of commercial and retail companies, and the ultimate sale of such
real estate. The Partnership currently expects to conduct an orderly
liquidation of the remaining assets as quickly as practicable and wind up
its affairs not later than December 31, 1998 barring unforeseen economic
developments.
For financial reporting purposes, effective January 1, 1995, the
mortgage loan secured by the Spring Hill Fashion Corner (prior to its sale
in November 1996) was determined to have been in-substance foreclosed and
was reclassified as an investment in a joint venture in real estate on the
equity method at its estimated fair value. In early May 1995, the lenders
(including the Partnership) obtained legal title to the property.
Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements do not include the
accounts of the JMB/Spring Hill Associates ("Spring Hill") venture.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Partnership and its majority-owned consolidated ventures,
Calibre Pointe Associates (property sold May 1996) and North Rivers Market
Associates (property sold December 1997). The effect of all the
transactions between the Partnership and its consolidated ventures has been
eliminated in its consolidated financial statements.
The Partnership records are maintained on the accrual basis of
accounting as adjusted for Federal income tax reporting purposes. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared from such
records after making appropriate adjustments to present the Partnership's
accounts in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP") and to consolidate the accounts of the ventures as described
above. Such GAAP and consolidation adjustments are not recorded in the
records of the Partnership. The net effect of these items for the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 is summarized as follows:

The net earnings (loss) per limited partnership interest is based upon
the number of Interests outstanding at the end of the period (65,237.69).
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP
requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported or disclosed amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from such
estimates.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95 requires the
Partnership to present a statement which classifies receipts and payments
according to whether they stem from operating, investing or financing
activities. The required information has been segregated and accumulated
according to the classifications specified in the pronouncement. The
Partnership records amounts held in U.S. Government obligations at cost
which approximates market. For the purposes of these statements, the
Partnership's policy is to consider all such amounts held with original
maturities of three months or less (approximately $17,094,000 and
$27,600,000 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively) as cash
equivalents, which includes investments in an institutional mutual fund
which holds U.S. Government obligations with any remaining amounts
(generally with original maturities of one year or less) reflected as
short-term investments being held to maturity.
Deferred costs in connection with mortgage investments were amortized
over the terms of the agreements relating to such mortgage investments
using the straight-line method. Unamortized deferred costs were expensed
upon early payment of a mortgage loan.
The Partnership was recognizing interest income only as collected on
its remaining mortgage loan (Shoppes at Rivergate) as described below.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" provides that the impairment of a
collateralized loan that is considered impaired (as defined) may be
recognized by creating a valuation allowance to the recorded balance of the
loan to yield a net carrying amount of the loan which is equal to the fair
value of the loan collateral. The Partnership elected to recognize
subsequent changes in the fair value of the collateral as adjustments to
this valuation allowance.
The Partnership, through joint ventures with its affiliated lenders,
as described below, had taken title to the underlying collateral for Spring
Hill Fashion Corner, North Rivers Market and the Calibre Point Apartments.
Depreciation was provided until the property was sold or reclassified as
held for sale over the estimated useful lives of the various components as
follows:
Years
-----
Building and improvements - straight-line 30
Personal property - straight-line 5-7
===
Maintenance and repair expenses were being charged to operations as
incurred. Significant betterments and improvements were being capitalized
and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
The Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-
Lived Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS 121") as required in the first
quarter of 1996. SFAS 121 requires that the Partnership and its
consolidated ventures record an impairment loss on its properties to be
held for investment whenever their carrying value cannot be fully recovered
through estimated undiscounted future cash flows from their operations and
sale. The amount of the impairment loss to be recognized would be the
difference between the property's carrying value and the property's
estimated fair value. The Partnership's policy was to consider a property
<PAGE>
to be held for sale or disposition when the Partnership had committed to a
plan to sell such property and active marketing activity had commenced or
was expected to commence in the near term. In accordance with SFAS 121,
any properties identified as "held for sale or disposition" were no longer
depreciated. Adjustments for impairment loss for such properties
(subsequent to the date of adoption of SFAS 121) were made in each period
as necessary to report these properties at the lower of carrying value or
fair value less costs to sell. The adoption of SFAS 121 did not have any
significant effect on the Partnership's financial position, results of
operations or liquidity.
The results of operations for consolidated properties classified as
held for sale or disposition as of December 31, 1997 or sold or disposed of
during the past three years were $1,211,187, $1,025,163 and ($406,415),
respectively, for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995. In
addition, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include
($48,441) and $214,158 for 1996 and 1995, respectively, of the
Partnership's share of property operations of ($150,275) and $657,936 of
unconsolidated properties held for sale or disposition as of December 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively. Such unconsolidated properties were sold as
of December 31, 1996.
During the second quarter of 1997, Statements of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128 ("Earnings per Share") and No. 129 ("Disclosure of
Information about Capital Structure") were issued. These standards became
effective for reporting periods after December 15, 1997. As the
Partnership's capital structure only has general and limited partnership
interests, the Partnership will not experience any significant impact on
its consolidated financial statements.
No provision for state or Federal income taxes has been made as the
liability for such taxes is that of the partners rather than the
Partnership. However, in certain instances, the Partnership has been
required under applicable law to remit directly to the taxing authorities
amounts representing withholding from distributions paid to partners.
INVESTMENTS
CALIBRE POINTE APARTMENTS
In September 1987, the Partnership participated in funding a
$13,250,000 participating first mortgage loan, secured by a 214-unit luxury
apartment complex known as Calibre Pointe Apartments located in Atlanta,
Georgia. The Partnership funded $8,249,980 (a 62.264% participation) of
this loan and $5,000,020 was funded by JMB Mortgage Partners, Ltd. - IV
("Mortgage Partners - IV"), a partnership affiliated with the General
Partners (jointly the "Lenders").
Due to competitive market conditions, the borrower did not make all of
its required 1991 monthly interest payments under the terms of the mortgage
note, and the Lenders obtained legal title to the property on December 3,
1991. The Lenders contributed the property to a newly formed joint venture
between themselves (Calibre Pointe Associates) to own and operate the
complex. The terms of the venture agreement provided in general, that the
benefits of ownership, including tax effects, net cash receipts and sale
proceeds were allocated or distributed as the case may be, between the
Partnership and Mortgage Partners-IV in proportion to their respective
capital contributions to the venture (62.264% by the Partnership). The
Partnership recorded its net carrying value (including liabilities of the
property assumed at acquisition) in the property contributed to the venture
in an amount not in excess of its then estimated fair value.
<PAGE>
Calibre Pointe Associates sold the property on May 30, 1996 for
$14,450,000 (before selling costs) which was paid in cash at closing.
Calibre Pointe Associates recognized a gain of $2,600,763 for financial
reporting purposes and recognized a gain of approximately $2,126,000 for
Federal income tax purposes in 1996. The Partnership recognized a gain of
$1,620,384 for financial reporting purposes and recognized a gain of
approximately $1,324,000 for Federal income tax purposes in 1996.
As the Partnership had committed to a plan to sell the property, the
property was classified as held for sale or disposition as of January 1,
1996 and, therefore, was not subject to continued depreciation.
NORTH RIVERS MARKET SHOPPING CENTER
In December 1987, the Partnership participated in the initial funding
of a non-recourse participating first mortgage loan in the maximum
principal amount of $19,250,000 secured by a first mortgage on a shopping
center known as the North Rivers Market Shopping Center in North
Charleston, South Carolina. The other lender was Mortgage Partners-IV,
(jointly the "Lenders"). The Lenders' initial funding was $17,350,000, of
which the Partnership's share was $11,536,622 (66.4935% of the loan). Up
to an additional $1,900,000 was to have been funded by the Lenders, if
certain rental and occupancy levels were achieved.
Due to the significant vacancy level at the property, the borrower
made only a portion of the required interest payments for the years 1991
and 1992.
On May 17, 1993, the borrower, pursuant to a deed in lieu of
foreclosure, transferred legal title of the property to North Rivers Market
Associates ("NRMA") to own and operate the complex. NRMA is a joint
venture in which the Partnership and Mortgage Partners-IV each own shares
in proportion to their original share of the former first mortgage loan.
The terms of the venture agreement provide in general that the benefits of
ownership, including tax effects, net cash receipts, sale proceeds, and
future contribution obligations are allocated or distributed, as the case
may be, between the Partnership and the venture partner in proportion to
their respective capital accounts. The Partnership recorded its net
carrying value (including liabilities of the property assumed at
acquisition) of the property contributed to the venture in an amount not in
excess of its then estimated fair value. NRMA recorded a provision for
value impairment as of September 30, 1995 in the amount of $2,300,000 (of
which $770,000 has been allocated to the venture partner) for financial
reporting purposes. Such provision was recorded to reduce the net carrying
value of North Rivers Market to its then estimated fair value.
An affiliate of the General Partners of the Partnership assumed
management of the property under an agreement which provided for a fee
computed as 6% of the gross income of the property. Such property
management fees for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995
aggregated $109,828, $96,783 and $98,452, respectively.
On December 30, 1997, NRMA sold the land and related improvements of
the property. The sale price of the property was $14,708,742, which was
received in cash at closing by NRMA (net of selling costs and prorations).
The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $4,640,000 to NRMA for
financial reporting purposes (of which the Partnership's share was
$3,085,285), due in part to the value impairment provision of $2,300,000
recorded by NRMA in 1995 as discussed above. In addition, NRMA recognized
a gain on sale of approximately $2,245,000 for Federal income tax reporting
purposes in 1997 (of which the Partnership's share was $1,493,034).
In connection with the sale of this property, as is customary in such
transactions, NRMA agreed to certain representations and warranties, with a
stipulated survival period which expires in late September, 1998. Although
it is not expected, NRMA may ultimately have some liability under such
representations and warranties which, in no event, is to exceed $500,000
(of which the Partnership's share would be approximately $332,500). It is
<PAGE>
expected that the Partnership will make its final distributions and wind up
its affairs during 1998 after the expiration of the survival period,
barring unforeseen circumstances.
As NRMA had committed to a plan to sell the property, the property was
classified as held for sale or disposition as of December 31, 1996 and
therefore, was not subject to continued depreciation.
SPRING HILL FASHION CORNER
In February 1986, the Partnership committed to participate in the
funding of a participating first mortgage loan in the maximum amount of
$11,000,000 secured by the Spring Hill Fashion Corner shopping center
located in West Dundee, Illinois. The total amount funded under this loan
was $10,030,000 (of which the Partnership's share was $3,264,765 (32.55%)).
The other two participating lenders were JMB Mortgage Partners, Ltd.-I and
JMB Mortgage Partners, Ltd.-II, both of which were affiliates of the
General Partners of the Partnership.
The borrower defaulted in its scheduled basis interest payments due
under this loan during the fourth quarter of 1994. Consequently, an
affiliate of the lenders took control of the property's funds in January,
1995 and was managing the property under an agreement which provided for a
maximum fee equal to 6% of the property's gross receipts (such fee
including compensation for leasing activity). In early May 1995, the
lenders obtained legal title to the property pursuant to a deed in lieu of
foreclosure. Effective as of the management takeover date (January 1,
1995), the Partnership considered the mortgage loan to be in-substance
foreclosed and accounted for its investment as an investment in a joint
venture on the equity method. For financial reporting purposes, the
Partnership did not recognize any gain or loss from this transaction as a
result of the Partnership's previously recorded provisions for loan loss
aggregating $534,000. The operations of this property provided a return
which was significantly less than the scheduled interest payments due under
the original mortgage loan.
The terms of JMB/Spring Hill's partnership agreement provided
generally that contributions, distributions, cash flow, sale or refinancing
proceeds and profits and losses will be distributed or allocated to the
partners in their respective ownership percentages (32.55% to the
Partnership).
In October 1996, JMB/Spring Hill finalized a contract for the sale of
this property. On November 13, 1996, JMB/Spring Hill sold the Spring Hill
Fashion Corner to an unaffiliated third party for $9,200,000, all of which
was received (less closing costs) in cash at closing. As a result of the
sale, JMB/Spring Hill recognized a loss for Federal income tax reporting
purposes of approximately $1,030,000. As the sale per the contract was
estimated to result in a loss of approximately $775,000 for financial
reporting purposes, JMB/Spring Hill recognized a $775,000 provision for
value impairment at September 30, 1996, of which $252,263 has been
allocated to the Partnership. When the sale of the property was completed
in November 1996, JMB/Spring Hill, after the effect of the September 1996
provision for value impairment, recognized a gain of approximately $3,000
for financial reporting purposes, of which approximately $960 was allocated
to the Partnership.
As JMB/Spring Hill had committed to a plan to sell the property, the
property was classified as held for sale as of July 1, 1996 and therefore
was not subject to continued depreciation.
SHOPPES AT RIVERGATE
The Partnership funded a $12,000,000 non-recourse participating first
mortgage loan secured by a portion of a shopping center in Goodlettsville,
Tennessee. The loan bore basic interest at the rate of 9.5% per annum and
provided for monthly payments of interest only. The Partnership had been
recognizing interest income only as collected. In addition, due to the
<PAGE>
uncertainty of the realization of the simple and accrued interest
recognized through December 31, 1996 (approximately $567,000) and the
principal balance of the loan ($12,000,000), the Partnership, as a matter
of prudent accounting practice, provided for a provision for loan loss as
of December 31, 1996 in the amount of $967,269.
In March 1997, the Partnership issued a payoff letter to the borrower
of the loan secured by this property regarding an early repayment of the
mortgage loan at an amount less than what was otherwise due under the terms
of the original mortgage loan. Pursuant to such agreement, on July 16,
1997, the Partnership received $11,600,000, representing payment in full on
the mortgage loan. The payment of the mortgage loan resulted in no gain or
loss for financial reporting purposes in 1997 (as a result of loan loss
provisions totaling approximately $2,227,000 previously recorded by the
Partnership), and resulted in a loss of approximately $3,582,000 for
Federal income tax purposes in 1997.
RIVERPOINT CENTER
In August 1989, the Partnership participated in the funding of a ten-
year non-recourse participating first mortgage loan. The Partnership
committed to fund a maximum of $13,050,000 or approximately 44.6% of this
loan. The remaining portion of the loan was funded by Mortgage Partners-IV
and IDS Life Account RE, the latter an entity advised by an affiliate of
the General Partners (jointly the "Lenders"). The loan was secured by a
first mortgage on a shopping center known as Riverpoint Center, located in
Chicago, Illinois. The Lenders cumulatively funded $28,039,630
($12,509,989 by the Partnership). The loan bore basic interest at the rate
of 9.25% per annum for 1994 and 1995 which increased to a rate of 9.50% per
annum in mid 1996. The loan also provided for simple accrued interest
(payable at maturity) and a participation by the lenders in excess property
cash flows (as defined).
The borrower had notified the Lenders that it was experiencing
financial difficulties and approached the Lenders regarding a loan
modification. During the third quarter of 1996, the Lenders and borrower
finalized a loan modification. In conjunction with the modification
agreement, the Lenders agreed to accept at certain dates through June 30,
1997 repayment of the loan at specified amounts. As repayment of the loan
per such agreement yielded the Lenders an amount less than the carrying
amount of the loan, the Partnership recognized as of July 1, 1996 an
additional provision for loan loss of $110,209. On December 24, 1996, the
borrower, in accordance with the agreement, repaid the lenders $27,400,000
(of which the Partnership's share was $12,244,616) in full satisfaction of
the mortgage loan.
For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership did not recognize
any gain or loss from this transaction as a result of the Partnership's
previously recorded provisions for loan loss. For Federal income tax
reporting purposes, the Partnership recognized a loss of approximately
$1,907,000 in 1996 as a result of this transaction.
Also, based upon the borrower's past financial difficulties, there was
uncertainty as to the Partnership's ability to recover the principal
balance of the loan. As a result, the Partnership, as a matter of prudent
accounting practice, recorded a provision for loan loss of $175,165 as of
December 31, 1995. In addition to a provision recorded at December 31,
1991, such provisions were recorded to reduce the net carrying value of the
loan to the then estimated fair value of the loan collateral.
FRANKLIN FARM VILLAGE CENTER
In December 1991, the Partnership participated in the funding of a
non-recourse participating first mortgage loan secured by a first mortgage
on a shopping center known as Franklin Farm Village Center (the "Center")
located in Fairfax County, Virginia. The Partnership committed to fund a
maximum of $5,600,000 or approximately 33.7% of the loan. The other lender
was Mortgage Partners-IV, (jointly the "Lenders"). The loan bore interest
<PAGE>
at 8.5% per annum during 1994, 1995 and 1996 (payable monthly) and also
provided for simple accrued interest (payable at maturity) and for a
participation by the Lenders in excess property cash flows (as defined).
The Lenders had cumulatively funded $14,809,000 of which the Partnership's
share was approximately $4,996,000.
In June 1994, the Lenders received a partial return in the amount of
$322,907 of the original principal funding (of which the Partnership's
share was $108,933) related to an "earn down" provision in the original
purchase agreement between the borrower and the seller. The borrower
remitted the earn down proceeds back to the Lenders as required by the
terms of the loan agreement.
During July 1996, the Lenders executed an agreement with the borrower
regarding an early repayment of the mortgage loan. Such agreement allowed
the borrower to repay the loan at a predetermined amount prior to November
8, 1996. Pursuant to such agreement, the Lenders received $16,275,000 on
October 30, 1996 as payment in full of all principal and interest due on
the mortgage loan. The Partnership has received and recognized as income
basic and simple accrued interest of approximately $451,000 that was
previously not recorded. Although such repayment did not result in a gain
or loss for financial reporting purposes, the Partnership reported a loss
on repayment of approximately $69,000 for Federal income tax reporting
purposes in 1996.
PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
Net profits of the Partnership from operations are generally allocated
to the General Partners in an amount equal to the greater of 1% of net
profits or the amount of net cash flow actually distributed to the General
Partners (as described below), with the remaining net profits allocated to
the Limited Partners. Any net losses from Partnership operations will be
allocated 90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partners. Net
profits from the repayment or other disposition of mortgage investments
will generally be allocated first to the General Partners in an amount
equal to the greater of 1% of such net profits or the cash distributions to
the General Partners from the proceeds of such repayment or other
disposition (as described below). The remaining net profits from the
repayment or other disposition of mortgage investments will be allocated to
the Limited Partners. Net losses from any disposition of mortgage
investments will be allocated 97% to the Limited Partners and 3% to the
General Partners. Notwithstanding such profit and loss allocation
provisions, the Partnership Agreement further provides that if at any time
profits (including items thereof) are realized by the Partnership, any
current or anticipated event that would cause the deficit balance in
absolute amount in the Capital Account of the General Partners to be
greater than their share of the Partnership's indebtedness (as defined)
after such event, then the General Partners shall be allocated profits to
the extent necessary to cause the deficit balance in the Capital Account of
the General Partners to be no less than their respective shares of the
Partnership's indebtedness after such event. In general, the effect of
this provision is to defer the recognition of taxable gain to the Limited
Partners and such provision was applied to the taxable gain allocated to
the General Partners for financial reporting and Federal income tax
purposes in 1997.
The General Partners are not required to make any capital
contributions except under certain limited circumstances upon dissolution
and termination of the Partnership. Distributions of "net cash flow" of
the Partnership will be made 90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the
General Partners, with one-half of such net cash flow distributable to the
General Partners in the first twelve fiscal quarters following the close of
the offering, subordinated to the receipt by the Limited Partners of a
stipulated return on their "current capital accounts". Distributions of
"repayment proceeds" will be made 100% to the Limited Partners until the
Limited Partners have received repayment proceeds equal to their
contributed capital plus a stipulated return thereon. As the Limited
Partners will not receive repayment proceeds equal to their original
contributed capital from the investments of the Partnership, the General
<PAGE>
Partners will not receive any distribution from all of the sales and
repayments of the Partnership investments or any portion of the
subordinated operating distributions described above. Of the cumulative
distributions of $85,317,257 paid to the Limited Partners through
December 31, 1997, $1,780,738 represents a 7% return to certain Limited
Partners through February 4, 1986 (the date of the first admittance of the
Limited Partners) and a 6.25% return to certain Limited Partners from
February 5, 1986 through August 31, 1986 (the date of the final admittance
of the Limited Partners) during which periods the Limited Partners
subscription proceeds were held in escrow.
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
In December 1994, one of the affiliated property managers sold certain
of its assets and assigned its interests in its management contracts to an
unaffiliated third party. In addition, certain management personnel of the
property manager became management personnel of the purchaser and its
affiliates. The successor to the affiliated property manager's assets was
acting as the property manager of the Calibre Pointe Apartments (prior to
its sale in May 1996) for a fee computed as a percentage of gross income
received. An affiliate of the General Partners acted as the manager of
North Rivers Market Shopping Center prior to its sale in December 1997 for
a fee computed as six percent of gross income of the property.
TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Partnership, pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, is permitted
to engage in various transactions involving the Corporate General Partner
and its affiliates including the reimbursement for salaries and salary-
related expenses of its employees, certain of its officers, and other
direct expenses relating to the administration of the Partnership and the
operation of the Partnership's investments. Fees, commissions and other
expenses required to be paid by the Partnership to the General Partners and
their affiliates as of and for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995 are as follows:

The Corporate General Partner was entitled to receive mortgage
investment servicing fees from the Partnership at an annual rate of 1/4 of
1% of the maximum amount advanced by the Partnership and outstanding from
time to time with respect to mortgage investments. The cumulative amount
of such fees at December 31, 1997 aggregated $878,510 ($16,192 in 1997),
all of which was paid at December 31, 1997.
<PAGE>
The General Partners had deferred payment of certain of their
distributions of net cash flow from the Partnership pursuant to the
subordination requirements of the Partnership Agreement as described above.
Such subordination requirements will not be attained over the remaining
operating period of the Partnership. In February 1998, approximately
$11,221,000 ($172 per Interest) was distributed to the Limited Partners and
approximately $217,000 to the General Partners representing a substantial
portion of the sale proceeds from the sale of the North Rivers Market
investment property and a portion of the Partnership's working capital
reserve. Such remaining funds will be held to pay for the Partnership's
remaining expenses and liabilities with any remaining amounts expected to
be distributed to the Limited and General Partners upon liquidation of the
Partnership pursuant to the provisions of the Partnership Agreement.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT
In February 1998, the Partnership paid a distribution of $11,220,883
($172.00 per Interest) to the Holders of Interests, which included $142 per
Interest from the distributions received from North Rivers Market
Associates relating to the December 1997 sale of the North Rivers Market
Shopping Center and $30 per Interest from Partnership operational cash flow
and reserves. The Partnership also paid a distribution of $217,459 to the

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
There were no changes in or disagreements with accountants during

PART III
ITEM 10. DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE PARTNERSHIP
The Corporate General Partner of the Partnership is JMB Realty
Corporation ("JMB"), a Delaware corporation, substantially all of the
outstanding stock of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by certain of
its officers, directors, members of their families and their affiliates.
JMB has responsibility for all aspects of the Partnership's operations,
subject to the requirement that all mortgage investments and all voluntary
dispositions thereof (whether by sale or exchange) must be approved by the
Associate General Partner of the Partnership, AGPP Associates, L.P., an
Illinois limited partnership with JMB as its sole general partner. The
limited partners of the Associate General Partner are generally officers,
directors and affiliates of JMB or its affiliates.
The Partnership is subject to certain conflicts of interest arising out
of its relationships with the General Partners and their affiliates as well
as the fact that the General Partners and their affiliates are engaged in a
range of real estate activities. Certain services have been and may in the
future be provided to the Partnership or its investment properties by
affiliates of the General Partners, including property management services
and insurance brokerage services. In general, such services are to be
provided on terms no less favorable to the Partnership than could be
obtained from independent third parties and are otherwise subject to
conditions and restrictions contained in the Partnership Agreement. The
Partnership Agreement permits the General Partners and their affiliates to
provide services to, and otherwise deal and do business with, persons who
may be engaged in transactions with the Partnership, and permits the
Partnership to borrow from, purchase goods and services from, and otherwise
to do business with, persons doing business with the General Partners or
their affiliates. The General Partners and their affiliates may be in
competition with the Partnership under certain circumstances, including, in
certain geographical markets, for tenants and/or for the sale of property.
Because the timing and amount of cash distributions and profits and losses
of the Partnership may be affected by various determinations by the General
Partners under the Partnership Agreement, including whether and when to
sell a property, the establishment and maintenance of reasonable reserves,
the timing of expenditures and the allocation of certain tax items under
the Partnership Agreement, the General Partners may have a conflict of
interest with respect to such determinations.
The names, positions held and length of service therein of each
director, and the executive and certain other officers of the Corporate
General Partner are as follows:
