                  ROYAL PALM BEACH COLONY, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP 
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                           THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED
                             JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995
                                   (UNAUDITED)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         During the nine months ended June 30, 1996,  the  Partnership  incurred
substantial  expenses in the  planning  and  development  of its  properties  in
addition to normal ongoing  administrative  costs.  During the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1995,  and during most of the quarter ended December 31, 1995, the
Partnership  withheld its  properties  from sale in  anticipation  of a business
combination  which was being  negotiated  throughout most of the year, but which
negotiations  were terminated in December,  1995.  Revenues for the three months
ended December 31, 1995, however, included the net proceeds of $140,000 received
upon the  sale of four  residential  lots,  offset  in part by by  approximately
$70,000 of terminated  merger  expense;  and during the three months ended March
31, 1996, the  Partnership  received  $433,000 in payment of an installment on a
contingent  note held in respect of a prior sale of a utility  system.  Revenues
during the three  months  ended June 30, 1996 were  minimal.  The  Partnership's
deferral of sales in  anticipation  of the aforesaid  business  combination  was
discussed in Item 1, "Business", (a) "General Development of Business" contained
the  Annual  Report of the  Partnership  on Form 10K for the  fiscal  year ended
September 30, 1995  (hereinafter  the  "Incorporated  10K"). An extract from the
Incorporated 10K containing said Items 1 and 2 thereof is annexed to this report
as an Exhibit and is incorporated  herein by reference.  During the three months
ended June 30,  1996 the  Partnership  also  obtained  an  additional  financing
commitment  in the amount of $300,000  from Jack  Friedland  and an affiliate of
Jack   Friedland.   Mr  Friedland  is  affiliated   with  Hasam  Realty  Limited
Partnership,  a general  partner of the  Partnership.  The loan is a term ending
October 31, 1996,  at an interest  rate of 2% over the prime rate of Union Bank,
secured by a first  mortgage  lien on a 4.54 acre tract of  undeveloped  land in
Palm Beach County and a tract of  approximately  30 acres of commercially  zoned
land in the Crestwood tract described in Item 2 of the  Incorporated  10-K. As a
result of the foregoing,  the Partnership's cash balances, which had declined to
$84,000 at  September  30,  1995  increased  to  $125,000  at March 31, 1996 and
decreased to $88,051 at June 30, 1996.

         The Partnership is committed to the continuing development of phases II
and  III of the  Crestwood  residential  tract,  as  described  in Item 2 of the
Incorporated 10K, as the most efficacious manner in which to enhance liquidation
values.  Such  development  would be financed by  approximately  $930,000 in net
proceeds from a bond issue  currently  being  prepared by the Indian Trail Water
Control District, and would require additional advances to the Partnership under
its financing  arrangements  with Union Bank ("Bank").  The Partnership has been
advised  that Union Bank is prepared to modify  existing  loan  arrangements  to
provide as follows:

         (a) The loan  commitment,  of which  $1,163,797 was outstanding at June
30, 1996, would be increased from its current level of $2,175,000 to $2,725,000,
and,  as so  increased,  would  continue  to be secured by a first  mortgage  on
Crestwood single family building lots;

         (b) The increased loan  availability of $1,561,203 would be represented
in part by a Bank letter of credit in the amount of $922,000  for the benefit of
the Indian Trail Water Control District, representing the approximate difference
between the  projected remaining cost to develop  Phases II and  III and the net
<PAGE> 
proceeds  anticipated  from the  issuance  of bonds by the  Indian  Trail  Water
Control District.  Of the balance of the financing  availability  (approximately
$639,203)  $550,000  would  be  available  immediately  for  Phase  II  and  III
development costs;

         (c) The maturity  date of the loan would be extended  from July 1, 1997
to January 31, 1998.

         (d) The Bank would waive the previous  requirement  that certain  sales
occur in Phase I of the Crestwood  single-family before funds are made available
for development of Phases II and III.

         On August 12, 1996, the  Partnership  executed an agreement with Lennar
Homes, Inc., a prominent South Florida developer, for the purchase of 86 lots in
the Crestwood Tract for an aggregate of $2,451,000.  The Partnership  received a
letter of credit deposit of $100,000  (which is currently held in escrow and not
available for current use by the  Partnership).  Lennar has an inspection period
which expires on or about September 25, 1996, after which, if Lennar  determines
to proceed,  the deposit will become  non-refundable and Lennar will be required
to post an  additional  letter of credit  for  $390,200  for a total  deposit of
$390,200. The agreement, if Lennar elects to proceed, contemplates that all lots
will be taken  and paid for over an 18  month  period  after  completion  by the
Partnership of development  work,  which in turn cannot  commence until the bond
issue  has been  completed.  Accordingly,  such  development  completion  is not
expected until the summer of 1997.  Therefore,  it is not  anticipated  that any
additional  funds will be received under the Lennar agreement during the balance
of the current fiscal year or during the fiscal year ending September 30, 1997.


Additional Prospective Land Sales

          The Partnership has also negotiated  several additional sales of land,
all of which are subject to conditions which the Partnership anticipates will be
satisfied. Such anticipated sales are as follows:

          (a) The  County of Palm  Beach has  agreed to  purchase  19  partially
developed lots for approximately $100,000 and an additional offer to purchase 16
additional  lots for $84,000.  The first  agreement is expected to close in late
September or early  October of 1996.  Although a firm  contract has not yet been
executed for the second sale, the Partnership believes this sale will also occur
with a closing in November or December of 1996.

          (b) The  Partnership  has  executed an agreement to sell 4.54 acres in
the Village of Palm Beach for  $325,000,  with a closing  expected in  December,
1996. This sale is subject to zoning and site plan approval, but the Partnership
not not anticipate difficulty in obtaining such approvals.

          (c)  Sale  of  the  Partnership's  mortgagee  position  in  a  current
foreclosureof a mortgage held by the Partnership  having a net carrying value of
$137,614 which the Partnership  anticipates will generate approximately $150,000
prior to the the end of the current calendar year.

         (d) In order to  enhance  the value  and  salability  of the  Crestwood
Tract,  the  Partnership  has  obtained the rezoning of a 14 acre portion of the
multi-family  zoned property in the Crestwood Tract to permit the Partnership to
offer such  portion for sale as a shopping  center  site.  The  Partnership  has
executed an agreement to sell this portion to an  unaffiliated  shopping  center
developer  ("Purchaser") in potentially four phases.  The first phase relates to
an  11.8  acre  tract  to be sold  for  $3.00  per  square  foot  (approximately
<PAGE>
$1,542,024  subject to final  survey).  While  certain  conditions  remain to be
satisfied,  the Partnership  expects this Phase to close by late November,  1996
and  to  produce  approximately  $1,400,000  in net  cash  after  brokerage  and
adjustments.

          (e) Pursuant to an option held on lots  located  within Phase I of the
Crestwood  Tract,  the  Partnership  anticipates  that 3 lots  will be sold  for
approximate  cash  proceeds  aggregating  $90,000  prior to or shortly after the
close of the current fiscal year.

          (f) The Partnership has received an offer from the State of Florida to
purchase the balance of the  Partnership's  undeveloped land in Hernando Country
for $125,000. This sale is projected to close in October of 1996.

         During the current  fiscal year, and based upon  management's  judgment
that ordinary operating expenses will not increase, the Partnership  anticipates
that cash flow and liquidity requirements will be satisfied by current cash, the
Union Bank financing  described above, land sales,  contingent  utility receipts
described  under  Item  2,  Properties,  "Utility  Contingent  Receipts"  in the
Incorporated  10K, and the proceeds of the Indian Trail Water  Control  District
bonds.  However,  in the event that the increased Union Bank financing described
above were not to be made  available or the Indian Trail Water Control  District
bonds are not sold,  the Company would not be able to continue  dewvelopment  of
the Phase II and III  portions  of the  Crestwood  Tract,  or would have to seek
alternative financing arrangements.  There is no assurance that such alternative
financing could be obtained.  Further,  as above indicated,  other sales of land
described above are subject to conditions which might not be satisfied, although
the Partnership  has no present  knowledge of  circumstances  which would render
likely the non-satisfaction of such conditions.

Affect of Land Sales on Future Cash Flow

         As indicated in Item 2 in the  Incorporated  10K, the  Partnership  has
determined to develop  portions of its remaining  properties in order to enhance
their ultimate selling price.  Such development will continue whether or not the
Partnership  continues  to  liquidate,   contingent  upon  the  availability  of
financing, as discussed in Item 2, Properties, "Village of Royal Palm Beach". As
indicated under Item 1, "Factors  Affecting Future Operations and Distributions"
in the  Incorporated  10K, it is unlikely,  in view of management's  decision to
continue  development  activities  as an  aid  to the  enhancement  of  ultimate
liquidation proceeds,  that distributions to partners will be made during fiscal
1996.

         Assuming that the  Partnership  continues to liquidate,  total net cash
flow which might become available for distribution remains  unpredictable due to
uncertain  conditions  in the  South  Florida  real  estate  market in which the
Partnership's  remaining  real estate is located,  and the  competitive  factors
described in Item 1,  Business,  "Competition"  of the  Incorporated  10K. These
conditions  will continue to affect the  realizable  value of the  Partnership's
remaining  land,   including   decisions  by  parties  holding  options  on  the
Partnership's  land to exercise such options in whole or in part.  The execution
and  successful  completion  of  sales  contracts  described  under  "Additional
Prospective  Land Sales" could have a substantial  positive  affect on liquidity
and cash flow in the 1997  fiscal  year and  enable  the  partnership  to resume
payment of liquidating dividends in the latter part of such year.

Environmental Matters

         There are no environmental  contingencies in respect of the Partnership
or its  properties.  Use of all of the  Partnership's  properties  is subject to
compliance with state and county land use regulations  relating to environmental
matters,  which the Partnership  takes into account in considering the values of
its properties.

Results of Operations

         The most significant  differences in the results of operations  between
the nine  months  ended June 30,  1996 and June 30,  1995 are the  inclusion  in
revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 of the net proceeds of $140,000
received  upon the sale of four  residential  lots and the inclusion of the cost
thereof in the Cost of Land Sold and approximately  $70,000 of terminated merger
costs.  Revenues  decreased during the three and nine months ended June 30, 1996
(exclusive of the $140,000  sale) as compared to the three and nine months ended
June 30, 1995 due to  reductions  in interest  income and  recognized  profit on
installment sales. Revenues were minimal in the three months ended June 30, 1996
and June 30,  1995,  and will be almost  entirely  dependent  upon  sales of the
Partnership's properties in the future.
