                     September 30, 1998 and 1997

(1)  BUSINESS

Centennial Mortgage Income Fund II (the "Partnership") was formed
in 1985 and initially invested in commercial, industrial and
residential income-producing real property through mortgage
investments consisting of participating first mortgage loans,
other equity participation loans, construction loans, and wrap-
around and other junior loans.  The Partnership's underwriting
policy for granting credit was to fund loans secured by first and
second deeds of trust on real property.  The Partnership's area
of concentration is in California.  In the normal course of
business, the Partnership participated with other lenders in
extending credit to single borrowers.  The Partnership did this
in an effort to decrease credit concentrations and provide a
greater diversification of credit risk.

As of September 30, 1998, most of the loans secured by operating
properties have been repaid to the Partnership.  However, during
the early 1990's, real estate market values for undeveloped land
in California declined severely.  As the loans secured by
undeveloped land became delinquent, the Partnership elected to
foreclose on certain of these loans, thereby increasing real
estate owned balances.  As a result, the Partnership has become a
direct investor in this real estate and intends to manage
operating properties and develop raw land until such time as the
Partnership is able to sell this real estate owned.

As required by the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is
currently in the repayment stage, and as a result, cash proceeds
from mortgage and real estate investments are no longer available
for reinvestment.

(2)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals,
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
statement of the results of operations for the interim periods.
Results for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 are
not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for
any other interim period, or for the year as a whole.
                              8
Information pertaining to the nine months ended September 30,
1998 and 1997 is unaudited and condensed inasmuch as it does not
include all related footnote disclosures.

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include
all information and footnotes necessary for the fair presentation
of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  Notes
to consolidated financial statements included in Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1997 on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, provide additional disclosures and a further
description of accounting policies.

Net Loss per Limited Partnership Unit

Net loss per limited partnership unit was based on the weighted
average number of limited partnership units outstanding of 29,141
for all periods presented.

Impaired Loans

The Partnership considers a loan to be impaired when based upon
current information and events, it believes it is probable that
the Partnership will be unable to collect all amounts due
according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  In
determining impairment, the Partnership considers large non-
homogeneous loans including nonaccrual loans, troubled debt
restructuring and performing loans which exhibit, among other
characteristics, high loan-to-value ratios, low debt-coverage
ratios, or other indications that the borrowers are experiencing
increased levels of financial difficulty.  The Partnership bases
the measurement of collateral-dependent impaired loans on the
fair value of the loan's collateral.  The amount by which the
recorded investment of the loan exceeds the measure of the
impaired loan's value is recognized by recording a valuation
allowance.

At September 30, 1998, the carrying value of loans that are
considered to be impaired under SFAS 114 totaled $722,000 (all of
which were on nonaccrual status).  At September 30, 1998, there
was no allowance for possible loan losses determined in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS 114, related to loans
considered impaired under SFAS 114.  This is due to the fact that
all the remaining loans considered to be impaired were to an
unconsolidated investee.  The unconsolidated investee has
recorded an allowance for losses of $4,144,000 and the
Partnership's proportionate share of losses in unconsolidated
investee reflects its share of this allowance.  There was a
$289,000 investment in impaired loans during the nine months
                              9
ended September 30, 1998.  For the nine months ended September
30, 1998, the Partnership recognized no interest income or cash
basis income on these impaired loans.

Impact of Accounting Pronouncements Issued but not Adopted by the
Partnership

In June 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" was issued and is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997.  This statement establishes
standards for segment reporting in the financial statements.  The
Partnership anticipates that the adoption of this pronouncement
will not result in disclosures that will be materially different
from those presently required.

(3)  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

At September 30, 1998, the Partnership has approximately
$4,010,000 in cash and cash equivalents held in accounts over the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit.  The majority of
these funds were used to pay a distribution to limited partners
during October 1998.

During the second quarter of 1998, the Partnership refinanced the
note secured by the office building in San Bernardino.  The new
loan amount was $235,000, payable at 8.640 percent fixed with
monthly payments of $1,830.  The loan matures June 1, 2008.

Partnership receiving net proceeds of $1,124,000.

(5)  TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Under the provisions of the Partnership Agreement, the general
partners are to receive compensation for their services in
supervising the affairs of the Partnership.  This partnership
management compensation shall be equal to 10 percent of the cash
available for distribution, as defined in the Partnership
Agreement.  The general partners will not receive this
compensation until the limited partners have received a 12
percent per annum cumulative return on their adjusted invested
capital, but are entitled to receive a 5 percent interest in cash
available for distribution in any year until this provision has
been met.  Adjusted invested capital is defined as the original
capital invested less distributions from mortgage reductions.
Payments to the general partners have been limited to 5 percent
of cash available for distribution, as the limited partners have
not received their 12 percent per annum cumulative return.  Under
this provision of the Partnership Agreement, no distributions
were paid to the general partners during the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 or 1997.

The Partnership owns 50 percent of the outstanding capital stock
of a corporation which has not been consolidated in the
accompanying financial statements, LCR Development, Inc.,
("LCR").  The balance of outstanding capital stock in this
corporation is owned by Centennial Mortgage Income Fund,
("CMIF"), an affiliate.  LCR has invested in a joint venture,
Silverwood Homes ("Silverwood") which is constructing homes in
Lancaster, California.  The Partnership has participated in
making several loans to this corporation and this joint venture.
Under the equity method of accounting, these loans are a
component of the Partnership's investment in LCR, and therefore,
the Partnership has recorded losses by LCR as a reduction of the
carrying value of these loans receivable.

The Partnership holds a 50 percent participation in an unsecured
note in the amount of $2,115,000 due from LCR.  The Partnership's
share of the note at September 30, 1998 is $1,059,000 and the
Partnership has applied $1,059,000, a portion of the cumulative
losses from unconsolidated investee, against the carrying value
of the note as of that same date.  The Partnership has not
accrued its share of interest on this note which was
approximately $386,000 as of September 30, 1998.
                            11
Silverwood began constructing a model home complex at the project
in June 1995. Construction commenced in September 1995 on Phase I
and in February 1997 on Phase II at the project.  At September
30, 1998, the Partnership holds a 50 percent participation in
three notes due from Silverwood consisting of a land development
loan, a model home loan and a home construction loan.  At
September 30, 1998, the Partnership's disbursed balance of the
$1,034,000 Phase I construction loan is $23,000 and the
Partnership has applied $23,000, a portion of the cumulative
share of losses from unconsolidated investee, against the
carrying value of the note as of that same date.  The
Partnership's disbursed balance of the $3,266,000 development
loan at September 30, 1998 is $1,101,000 and the Partnership had
applied $436,000, the balance of cumulative losses from
unconsolidated investee, against the carrying value of the note
as of the same date.  The Partnership's disbursed balance of the
$490,000 model loan at September 30, 1998 is $57,000.

The consolidated balance sheet and income statement of LCR have
not been consolidated in the Partnership's financial statements.
The Partnership accounts for its investment in this corporation
using the equity method.  The following represents condensed
financial information for LCR at September 30, 1998 and for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997:

(6) COMMITMENTS

The day to day operations of the Partnership and several other
affiliated partnerships are carried on by employees of the
corporate general partner, Centennial Corporation ("CC").  CC no
longer has any significant operations other than the management
of these partnerships which are in the repayment stage.  During
the first quarter of 1998, several employees resigned from their
employment at CC.  Their resignations were principally due to the
anticipated disposition of the majority of the assets owned by
the Partnership and other affiliated partnerships in the
relatively near future.  The disposition of these assets can
reasonably be expected to precipitate layoffs, and given the
                             14
relatively robust job market in Southern California, where the
general partners conduct their operations, these employees opted
to secure positions with other companies with more promising
futures.  As of April 1, 1998, CC employed only six employees.
All of the remaining employees have been employed by CC for over
ten years and have intimate knowledge of the partnerships'
operations.  The general partners concluded that it would be in
the best interest of the Partnership to provide the remaining
employees with some type of incentive for them to continue
working for the partnerships until the majority of the
partnerships' assets were liquidated.  Accordingly, CC entered
into twelve-month employment contracts with each of these
employees which expire on March 31, 1999.  The Partnership and
the affiliated partnerships have guaranteed these employment
contracts.  The contracts include an increase in salary of 10
percent and also provide that if these employees remain employed
by CC until the end of the contract term, they will be entitled
to severance pay equal to six months base salary.  The maximum
total salaries, employer taxes, related benefits, and severance
pay included in these contracts is approximately $615,000.  The
Partnership's anticipated share of this cost is estimated to be
between $270,000 and $290,000, depending on the amount of time
which will be spent by these employees in managing the affairs of
the Partnership.  The Partnership's share of the cost of these
contracts during the nine months ended September 30, 1998,
included in general and administrative expenses, affiliates, was
approximately $124,000.

(7) CONTINGENCIES

There are no material pending legal proceedings other than
ordinary routine litigation incidental to the Partnership's
business.  Based in part on advice of legal counsel, management
does not believe that the results of any of these matters will
have a material impact on the Partnership's financial position or
results of operations.













                            15
ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

GENERAL

The Partnership had net losses and net losses per limited
partnership unit of $(263,000) and $(9.03) for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 and $(485,000) and $(16.64) for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, respectively.  The decrease in
losses for 1998 is primarily the result of the gain on the sales
of the proposed marina and condominiums in Redwood City and the
10.66 acres in Roseville.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information

The Partnership wishes to caution readers that the forward-
looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q under "Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q involve
known and unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause the
actual results, performance or achievements of the Partnership to
be materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking
statements made by or on behalf of the Partnership.  In
connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Partnership is
filing the following cautionary statements identifying important
factors that in some cases have affected, and in the future could
cause the Partnership's actual results to differ materially from
those expressed in any such forward-looking statements.

The factors that could cause the Partnership's results to differ
materially include, but are not limited to, general economic and
business conditions, including interest rate fluctuations; the
impact of competitive products and pricing; success of operating
initiatives; adverse publicity; changes in business strategy or
development plans; quality of management; availability, terms and
deployment of capital; the results of financing efforts; business
abilities and judgement of personnel; availability of qualified
personnel; employee benefit costs and changes in, or the failure
to comply with government regulations.

RISKS OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE

The Partnership is in the process of liquidating its remaining
assets.  As of November 30, 1998, the Partnership held only cash,
one note secured by real estate, and two pieces of real property.
It anticipates that it will hold a lesser number of assets by
January 1, 2000.  Management does not believe that the value of
any of these assets is subject to any valuation risk as a result
of the year 2000 issues, other than general economic climate
issues which might arise.  None of the Partnership's assets have
any equipment with computerized components essential to their
operation.

Although the Partnership has made some changes already to its
software, these changes have not been tested.  The Partnership
intends to begin testing changes made to its existing software in
the next few months.  The Partnership has not, and does not
contemplate spending any significant amount of funds to upgrade
its computer systems inasmuch as virtually all of its computer
needs could easily be met with existing "off the counter"
software and hardware.  The cost of this software and hardware,
if needed, should not exceed $10,000.  The only exception to this
is the computer software which the Partnership uses to track its
limited partners and their addresses.  The Partnership has made a
preliminary evaluation of this software with its outside software
consultant and believes that it can be modified for less than
$10,000.  Even if attempts to correct deficiencies in the
software without spending significant sums are not successful,
the Partnership anticipates that it could convert its systems to
standard spreadsheet or data base programs at a nominal cost.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 1998, the Partnership had $4,497,000 in
unrestricted cash and interest-bearing deposits.  The Partnership
had no unfunded loan commitments to nonaffiliates at September
30, 1998.  Sources of funds are expected to be from repayments of
real estate loans receivable from unconsolidated investee and the
sale of real estate owned.  Future operations of real estate
owned are not expected to be a significant source of funds.  The
Partnership funded advances on loans to an unconsolidated
investee totaling $289,000 and received payoffs and paydowns on
loans totaling $499,000 during the nine months ended September
30, 1998.  The Partnership made additions to real estate owned of
$72,000 and received cash proceeds from the sale of real estate
owned of $4,823,000 during the nine months ended September 30,
1998.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Partnership
closed escrow on two properties.  The pending sale of a portion
of a third property fell out of escrow during the second quarter
of 1998.  These escrows are discussed in greater detail below.

The Partnership's notes payable commitments for the next year
consist of interest and principal payments due of approximately
$22,000 payable during the next twelve months.  In addition to
the note payable commitments, the Partnership's principal capital
requirements include: (i) the $3,500,000 limited partner
distribution discussed below,(ii) real property taxes on real
estate owned of approximately $93,000 payable during the next
twelve months, and (iii) selling, general and administrative
costs.  These commitments are expected to be paid from existing
cash balances and the sale of real estate owned.

The Partnership is continuously evaluating various alternative
strategies for liquidating its real estate assets under current
market conditions.  These alternative strategies could include
the subdivision and improvement of the Partnership's properties
in order to increase their marketability and maximize the return
to the limited partners.  In the event the Partnership decides to
implement some of these strategies, it may require the investment
of a portion of the Partnership's existing cash.  The decision to
invest additional cash in existing assets will only be made if,
based on management's best judgment at the time, there is a clear
indication that such investment should generate a significantly
greater return to the limited partners than any other strategies
available to the Partnership.

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, 60 months after the
closing of the offering, cash proceeds from mortgage investments
are no longer available for reinvestment by the Partnership.

As discussed above, the Partnership had approximately $4.5
million in cash as of September 30, 1998.  This equates to
approximately $154 per limited partnership unit.  The general
partners had previously suspended distributions during 1991 due
to a decline in liquidity and uncertainty of the cash
requirements for existing and potential real estate owned.  As a
result of recent payoffs, the general partners have reevaluated
the potential long-term cash requirements of the Partnership in
order to determine the amount of cash to be distributed to the
limited partners at this time.  The general partners have
declared a distribution payable to record holders as of October
1, 1998 with a distribution dated October 15, 1998 of $120 per
limited partnership unit.

Management believes that current and projected liquidity is
sufficient to fund operating expenses and to meet the contractual
obligations and cash flow operating requirements of the
Partnership.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management has noted that the long-term downturn in the real
estate industry in California has not only stabilized, it has
improved considerably in many sectors of the market.  As of
September 30, 1998, all of the nonaffiliated loans have been
repaid to the Partnership and the Partnership does not expect to
realize any future interest income on loans to nonaffiliates.
Interest income on loans to nonaffiliates, including fees was
$3,000 and zero for the nine and three months ended September 30,
1998 and $1,000 and zero for the nine and three months ended
September 30, 1997, respectively.

The outstanding principal balance of loans on nonaccrual at
September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 totaled $722,000 and
$814,000, respectively.  Loans on "nonaccrual" refer to loans
upon which the Partnership is no longer accruing interest.
Management's policy is to cease accruing interest on loans when
interest and/or principal repayments become 90 days past due.

The real estate owned balance at September 30, 1998 and December
31, 1997 was $4,517,000 and $10,827,000, respectively.

The following sections entitled Nonaccrual Loans and Real Estate
Owned provide a detailed analysis of these assets.

NONACCRUAL LOANS

During 1994, the Partnership converted a 50 percent participation
in a note secured by a second trust deed into a 50 percent
participation in a $2,115,000 unsecured note representing a
workout loan due from LCR, an affiliate.  This loan and an
additional loan funded by Centennial Mortgage Income Fund
("CMIF") reflect the majority of the cost basis of 179
residential lots, which LCR contributed to Silverwood.  LCR's
only source of repayment of this note is the excess, if any, of
proceeds from the sale of the fully developed lots over the
amount of secured debt.  Due to the continuing decline in value
of the lots, management does not expect that this loan will be
repaid.  As a result, the loan has been placed on nonaccrual.
The participating principal balance and nonaccrued interest
balances at September 30, 1998 are $1,059,000 and $386,000,
respectively.  As discussed in note 5 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements, the Partnership has reduced the carrying
value of this note by $1,059,000, a portion of its share of
losses from this unconsolidated investee.

During 1994 and 1995, LCR evaluated various alternative
strategies for liquidating its investment in the 179 lots in
Lancaster.  During 1994, LCR determined that its best course of
action appeared to be the full-scale buildout and sale of single-
family homes since the market for finished lots had fallen so
significantly.  LCR obtained construction financing commitments
from the Partnership and CMIF.  LCR entered into a joint venture
agreement entitled Silverwood with Home Devco to construct and
sell single-family homes at the project.

Silverwood began constructing a model home complex at the project
in June 1995.  Construction commenced in September 1995 on Phase
I at the project.  Construction of Phase II of the project was
commenced in February 1997.  At September 30, 1998, the
Partnership holds a 50 percent participation in three notes due
from Silverwood consisting of a land development loan, a model
home loan and a home construction loan with combined disbursed
balances of $1,181,000.  The Partnership's disbursed balance of
the $3,266,000 development loan at September 30, 1998 was
$1,101,000.  The Partnership's disbursed balance of the $490,000
model loan at September 30, 1998 was $57,000.  The Partnership's
disbursed balance of the $1,034,000 Phase I construction loan at
September 30, 1998 was $23,000.  As discussed in note 5 of Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Partnership had reduced
the carrying value of the land development and Phase I
construction loan by $459,000, the remainder of its share of
losses in unconsolidated investee.

Sales volumes of new homes in the Lancaster area have continued
to remain sluggish since 1995 while sales prices have remained
relatively flat and construction costs have increased.  This has
caused a further decline in the value of finished lots and a
reduction in the anticipated net proceeds the Partnership expects
it might realize from the buildout of homes at the project.
Additionally, Silverwood closed escrow on only two homes during
the twelve calendar months of 1996, seven homes during the twelve
calendar months of 1997 and eleven homes during the nine months
ended September 30, 1998, far less than originally anticipated.
As a result of these factors, LCR recorded a $207,000, $2,516,000
and $1,077,000 provision for losses on real estate investments
during 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  As of September 30,
1998, Silverwood had entered into a purchase and sale agreement
to sell one of the remaining two homes.  This escrow closed on
October 26, 1998.  Silverwood had also entered into a purchase
and sale agreement to sell the 157 remaining undeveloped lots for
$1,570,000 and had shut down its homebuilding activities.  The
transaction required that the Partnership and CMIF provide
$1,170,000 in financing to the buyer.  Although a final
computation has not been determined, management does not believe
that the transaction will result in any material gain or loss.
This transaction also closed escrow in October 1998.

REAL ESTATE OWNED

A description of the Partnership's principal real estate owned
follows:




Office Building in San Bernardino, California

The Partnership funded a loan during January 1988 with an
original committed amount of $921,000 which was secured by a
second trust deed on an office building comprised of 15,894
square feet of rentable space located in San Bernardino,
California.  The loan was provided as gap financing behind a
first deed of trust in the amount of $350,000 to another
financial institution.  The borrower was unable to payoff the
loan at maturity and the Partnership foreclosed on April 20,
1993.  The Partnership restructured the note secured by the first
trust deed to a more favorable term and rate.  The project is 78
percent leased and generated net operating income before debt
service of $41,000 during the first nine months of 1998.  The
property is being marketed for sale, however, due to below
desirable occupancy levels, it is difficult to attract buyers.
In order to attract new tenants and increase occupancy,
management is in the process of installing an elevator.  When
occupancy increases, the property should be more desirable to
buyers.  The net carrying value at September 30, 1998 was
$880,000 before allowance for possible losses.  The Partnership
has recorded a $250,000 allowance for losses related to this
property as of September 30, 1998.  The property is encumbered by
a note secured by a first trust deed with a current balance of
$234,000 which matures June 1, 2008.

45 Acres in Sacramento, California

The Partnership funded a loan in 1987 with a committed amount of
$4,000,000 secured by a first trust deed on 44.52 acres in
Sacramento, California.  The loan was provided for the
development of offsite improvements.  The maturity date was
February 1, 1991.  The borrower was unable to obtain construction
financing and bring interest current.  The Partnership accepted a
grant deed on the property on March 10, 1992.  The property is
zoned for multi-family and light industrial use.  Through
September 30, 1998, the Partnership has sold approximately 7
acres of the property leaving approximately 37 acres to sell.  A
portion of the property is adjacent to Highway 99 and has good
freeway visibility.  During the first quarter of 1998, the
Partnership opened escrow on a 9.5 acre portion of the property.
The purchase price was $875,000 and the transaction was subject
to the buyer obtaining certain senior housing tax credits through
a governmental lottery.  However, the buyer failed to obtain
these credits and escrow was cancelled.  At September 30, 1998,
the carrying value before allowance for possible losses was
$3,637,000.  The Partnership has recorded a $701,000 allowance
for losses related to this property as of September 30, 1998.


Proposed Marina and Condominiums in Redwood City, California

On April 7, 1989, the Partnership foreclosed on a land loan
located in Redwood City, California with an original committed
amount of $3,487,000.  The purpose of the loan was to acquire the
land and provide for the planning of a 122-slip marina plus an
office building and restaurant.  The original maturity date of
October 21, 1986 was extended to March 1, 1987.  In March 1987,
the borrower filed bankruptcy.  The property had been in escrow
since 1996 for a purchase price of $4,000,000.  Due to some
pending costs to resolve access issues, the price was reduced to
$3,900,000.  It closed escrow June 12, 1998 and the Partnership
received net proceeds from the sale of $3,699,000.  The
Partnership recorded a $71,000 gain on sale on this transaction.

10.66 Acres in Roseville, California

The Partnership funded a loan in 1990 with an original committed
amount of $2,779,000 secured by a second deed of trust on 982
acres in Roseville, California.  The borrower failed to make the
required yearly principal payment to the first and second trust
deed holders.  The first trust deed holder filed a notice of
default for nonpayment.  Management negotiated a settlement
agreement to accept a 10.66 acre commercial site as payment in
full for the $2,779,000 note.  The property had been in escrow
for an all cash purchase price of $1,200,000 and closed escrow
June 30, 1998 with the Partnership receiving net proceeds of
$1,124,000.  The Partnership recorded a $121,000 gain on sale on
this transaction.

INTEREST ON INTEREST-BEARING DEPOSITS

Interest on interest-bearing deposits totaled $51,000 and $46,000
for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1998 and $4,000
and zero for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1997,
respectively.  Interest on interest-bearing deposits represents
interest earned on Partnership funds invested, for liquidity, in
time certificate and money market deposits.  The large increase
for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1998 is due to
the increased cash balances which resulted from the 1998 property
sales discussed above.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS OF REAL ESTATE OWNED

Income from operations of real estate owned consists of operating
revenues of $118,000 and $42,000 for the nine and three months
ended September 30, 1998 and $98,000 and $33,000 for the nine and
three months ended September 30, 1997, respectively.  The 1998
and 1997 revenues are from the office building in San Bernardino.
The increase for 1998 is due to increased occupancy.
PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOSSES

There was no provision for possible losses for the nine and three
months ended September 30, 1998 or 1997.  Management believes
that the allowance for possible loan losses at September 30, 1998
is adequate to absorb the known and inherent risk in the
Partnership's loan and real estate owned portfolio.

SHARE OF LOSSES IN UNCONSOLIDATED INVESTEES

The Partnership has invested in LCR, a corporation in which it
has less than a majority ownership and accounts for this
investment using the equity method.  The Partnership's share of
losses in this unconsolidated investee was $82,000 and $7,000 for
the nine and three months ended September 30, 1998 and $91,000
and $37,000 for the nine and three months ended September 30,
1997, respectively.  The share of losses consists primarily of
provisions for losses on real estate investments related to the
179 lots in Lancaster owned by LCR.

OTHER EXPENSES

Operating expenses from operations of real estate owned were
$67,000 and $33,000 for the nine and three months ended September
30, 1998 and $63,000 and $26,000 for the nine and three months
ended September 30, 1997, respectively.  The increase for 1998 is
due to several air conditioning unit repairs.  These expenses
were associated with the office building in San Bernardino.

Operating expenses from operations of real estate owned paid to
affiliates were $9,000 and $3,000 for the nine and three months
ended September 30, 1998 and $9,000 and $3,000 for the nine and
three months ended September 30, 1997, respectively.  The
operating expenses consist of property management fees paid to an
affiliate.

Expenses associated with non-operating real estate owned were
$228,000 and $39,000 for the nine and three months ended
September 30, 1998 and $247,000 and $64,000 for the nine and
three months ended September 30, 1997, respectively.  The
expenses relate to the proposed marina and condominiums in
Redwood City, the land in Sacramento, and the 10.66 acres in
Roseville.  The decrease for the nine and three months ended
September 30, 1998 is primarily due to the sale of the proposed
marina and condominiums in Redwood City and the 10.66 acres in
Roseville in June 1998.



Depreciation and amortization expense was $3,000 and $1,000 for
the nine and three months ended September 30, 1998 and $4,000 and
$1,000 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1997,
respectively.

Interest expense was $11,000 and $5,000 for the nine and three
months ended September 30, 1998 and $10,000 and $4,000 for the
nine and three months ended September 30, 1997, respectively.
The interest expense relates to the office building in San
Bernardino.  As a result of the refinance of property with a new
$235,000 note bearing interest at 8.640 percent per annum,
management expects interest expense to increase in future
periods.

General and administrative expenses, affiliates totaled $192,000
and $68,000 for the nine and three months ended September 30,
1998 and $141,000 and $45,000 for the nine and three months ended
September 30, 1997, respectively.  These expenses are primarily
salary allocation reimbursements paid to affiliates.  As
discussed in note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, the employees of the corporate general partner have
entered into contracts.  These contracts provided for salary
increases of 10 percent and severance benefits.  General and
administrative expenses, affiliates for the nine and three months
ended September 30, 1998 include approximately $44,000 and
$22,000, respectively, in accrued severance pay with respect to
these contracts.

General and administrative expenses, nonaffiliates totaled
$46,000 and $17,000 for the nine and three months ended September
30, 1998 and $49,000 and $21,000 for the nine and three months
ended September 30, 1997, respectively.  These expenses consist
of other costs associated with the administration of the
Partnership and real estate owned.
