Basis of Presentation:

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed
or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although
the Partnership believes that the disclosures are adequate
to make the information presented not misleading.  It is
suggested that these condensed financial statements be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Partnership's latest annual report
on Form 10-K.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

     On July 31, 1986 the Partnership purchased the Las
Brisas Apartments. The purchase provided for the sellers to
receive cash at closing and notes totaling $660,000. On
September 30, 1987 the principal balance due totaled
$210,000. In order to obtain the necessary proceeds to
finally retire these notes the General Partners offered 254
Units of the Partnership to two investors at the price of
$200,660. No commissions were taken nor did the General
Partner receive any fees in connection with these interests.
The Partnership then obtained short term financing from
Resource Savings Association totaling $260,000, bearing
interest at the rate of 2% over prime and payable quarterly
together with principal payments of $15,000 each. Security
for the loan was provided by a $100,000 certificate of
deposit and the personal guaranties of the Partnership's
General Partners. In September, 1991 Mr. Werra paid $40,750
in satisfaction of his personal guaranty of the Partnership
loan.

     The Partnership defaulted in its debt obligations in
August, 1988. The Partnership was forced to seek protection
under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in
December, 1988 when negotiations with Aetna Life Insurance
Company, ("Aetna") the holder of the two underlying first
mortgage notes and Las Brisas Apartments, Ltd. and Abilene
Associates, Ltd., the holders of respective wrap mortgage
notes ("Wrap Note Holders") failed to provide any relief.

     The Partnership emerged from bankruptcy on May 15,
1990, having negotiated a modification of its debt with it's
major creditors. In June, 1989 an affiliate of the
individual General Partner provided $401,910.77 to bring the
Aetna notes current. At the same time the Wrap Note Holders
agreed to reduced the payments due on their respective wrap
notes in order to mirror the payments made on the underlying
Aetna notes. The term of each wrap note will be extended
from July 31, 1995 to July 1, 2002 and July 1, 2007
respectively. The $401,910.77 note is collateralized by
junior mortgage on the property. In addition, the affiliate
has the option to purchase the wrap notes for $85,000 at any
time prior to the respective maturity dates of the wrap
notes.

     Commencing on July 1,1992, payments on the notes
reverted to the original amounts of $19,442 and $15,454.
During the prior two years the Partnership deferred $214,460
in debit service payments.   The modification gave the
Partnership room to deal with the economic difficulties
experienced in the market at the time.

     In February, 1991, Amrecorp Realty Inc., resigned as
the Managing General Partner of the Partnership. As was
communicated to all limited partners, this step was taken in
order to minimize any effect that Amrecorp's financial
difficulties might have on the partnership. Management of
the Partnership's assets is performed by Univesco, Inc., a
Texas corporation, Robert J. Werra, President.

     On November 12, 1993 the Partnership refinanced the
property's secured debt with a 8.15%, ten year, mortgage
loan from Lexington Mortgage Company.  The $3,250,000
mortgage loan provides for monthly payments of $41,5000.
based on an amortized schedule of 300 months with a final
payment of the entire remaining principal balance in
December, 2003. The proceeds of this new loan were used to
pay off the $2,500,000 and $2,300,000 mortgage notes which
previously held the first mortgage position. The old first
mortgagee provided a discount of approximately ten percent
of the outstanding principal balances of two old notes. The
balance of funds needed to retire the old notes
(approximately $100,000) were provided by Robert J. Werra.
In addition Robert J. Werra exercised his option in the
property's wrap mortgage notes. The new lender prohibited
subordinate debt. To meet this requirement the subordinate
debt held by Mr. Werra was converted to a class of equity
with the same terms and conditions as it possessed as debt.
The wrap mortgage lender would not agree to the change in
status so Mr. Werra paid $85,000 to complete his purchase of
the wrap notes and now holds an equity position in the
partnership as a special limited partner.

     The partnership agreement was amended by vote of the
limited partners to include the appointment of a new
corporate general partner, LBAL, Inc., a Texas corporation
wholly owned by Robert J. Werra.

     While it is the General Partners primary intention to
operate and manage the existing real estate investment, the
General Partner also continually evaluates this investment
in light of current economic conditions and trends to
determine if this assets should be considered for disposal.
At this time, there is no plan to dispose of Las Brisas
Apartments.

     As of September 30, 1997,  the Partnership had $2,269
in cash and cash equivalents as compared to $40,820 as of
December 31, 1996. The net decrease in cash of $38,551 is
principally due to distributions to the special limited
partner.
     
The property is encumbered by a non-recourse mortgage with a
principal balance of $3,074,891 as of September 30, 1997.
The mortgage payable bears interest at 8.15% and is payable
in monthly installments of principal and interest until
December 2003 when a lump-sum payment of approximately
$2,642,000 is due.  The required principal reductions for
the five years ending December 31, 2000, are $53,012,
$57,498, $62,363, $67,640 and $73,363 respectively.

For the foreseeable future, the Partnership anticipates that
mortgage principal payments (excluding balloon mortgage
payments), improvements and capital expenditures will be
funded by net cash from operations. The primary source of
capital to fund future Partnership acquisitions and balloon
mortgage payments  will be proceeds from the sale financing
or refinancing of the Property.

The $1,628,231 in Special Limited Partner equity is the
result of previous funding for operating deficits and other
partner loans made to the Partnership by a related entity.
These loans were reclassified to equity during 1993.  The
Special Limited Partner has first right to all net operating
cash flows and net proceeds from disposals of assets to the
extent of the Special Limited Partners distribution
preference.  During 1996 and 1995, the Special Limited
Partner received distributions from the Partnership totaling
$195,002 and $170,000, respectively. During 1997,   the
Special Limited Partner received distributions from the
Partnership totaling $200,000.
