AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION



Results of Operations
At September 30, 1999 the Partnership owned Las Brisas

South Clark Street, Abilene, Taylor County, Texas 79606. The
Partnership purchased a fee simple interest in Las Brisas
Apartments on July 30, 1986. The property contains
approximately 312,532 net rentable square feet, one

Revenue from property operations increased $34,550, or
11.05%, for the third quarter of 1999, as compared to the
third quarter of 1998.  Increased occupancy  to 97.0% in the
third quarter of 1999 from 94.0 % in the third quarter of
1998 accounted for the increase in rental income of $28,203
or 9.54%.  Other property income increased $6,347 or 36.75%
mainly due to increased fee collections.   The following
table illustrates the components:


                            Increase    Per Cent
                           (Decrease)   Change

Property operating expenses: decreased by $18,442 or 5.34%

of 1998 due primarily to lower maintenance & repairs (a
reduction of $32,738 or 58.5%).  General & Administrative
decreased $9,992 or 80.88% primarily due to reduced legal
expenditures.  The following table illustrates the

Revenue from property operations increased $102,698 or
9.48%, for the first nine months  of 1999, as compared to
the 1998 first nine months . The increase in rental income
of $78,168 or 7.6% is primarily due to higher rental rates
and increased occupancy.  Other income increased $24,530 or
44.66% primarily due to increased fee collections.   The
following table illustrates the components:

                            Increase    Per Cent
                           (Decrease)   Change

Property operating expenses decreased $81,945 or 6.84%,  for
the  first  nine months  of 1999, as compared  to  the  same
period  in  1998.   This  was  primarily  due  to  decreased
maintenance and repairs which decreased $75,831  or  32.58%.
General  and  administrative  decreased  $6,584  or   12.19%
primarily  due  to  decreased legal fees.   Insurance  costs

result  of  better than expected loss claims.  The following
table illustrates the components by category:

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. The Resource Savings Association loan
matured December 31,1983. 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 its
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.

     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, CEO.

     On November 12, 1993 the Partnership refinanced the
property's secured debt with an 8.15%, ten year, mortgage
loan from Lexington Mortgage Company.  The $3,250,000
mortgage loan provides for monthly payments of $25,407.82.
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, 1999,  the Partnership had $71,197
in cash and cash equivalents as compared to $36,249 as of
December 31, 1998. The net increase in cash of $34,948 was
due to cash flow from property operations.

The property is encumbered by a non-recourse mortgage with a
principal balance of $2,973,245 as of September 30, 1999.
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 three years ending December 31, 2001, are $62,363,
$67,640 $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 $1,475,231 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 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Special Limited
Partner received distributions from the Partnership totaling
$105,000; 65,000 and $183,000, respectively.

Year 2000

The  Partnership  and Management Company have  replaced  all
data  processing  systems with the last three  years  within
year  2000  compliant hardware and software. The Partnership
and  Management Company have completed testing of  its  data
processing  systems.  While compliance cannot   be  assured,
the systems tested to date are compliant.

Surveys  of financial institutions and vendors used  by  the
Partnership and Management Company also indicate  compliance
to  date.   The  Partnership  and  Management  Company  have
prepared  contingency plans.  These include redundant  back-
ups and paper copies of all system reports through 1999.

The   Partnership  anticipates  that  it  will   not   incur
significant costs associated with its computers and building
operating  systems  as it relates to the conversion  to  the
year 2000.
