                        A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                                 March 31, 1998
                                   (Unaudited)

Note 1.  THE PARTNERSHIP AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In the opinion of Glenborough  Corporation,  the managing general  partner,  the
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
(consisting   of  only  normal   accruals)   necessary  to  present  fairly  the
consolidated  financial position of Glenborough  Partners,  a California Limited
Partnership  ("Partners")  at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997,  the related
consolidated statements of operations,  the consolidated statements of partners'
equity and the consolidated  statements of cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997.

Consolidation - The accompanying  consolidated  financial statements include the
accounts of Partners and its majority-owned  entities GPA Ltd. (through December
31, 1997),  GPA West (through  December 31, 1997),  Resort Group LLC (commencing
June 1, 1997),  Mountain  Resorts  LLC  (commencing  June 1, 1997),  Casa 31 LLC
(commencing  January 1, 1998) and Mountain  Resort  Properties  LLC  (commencing
February 23, 1998). All significant  intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in the consolidation.

Allocation  of  net  income  - As a  result  of an  offer  made  to  all  of the
Partnership's  investors in 1996,  the  Partnership  repurchased  50,954 limited
partnership units from investors which resulted in 2,910,899 limited partnership
units  outstanding as of March 31, 1997.  The reduction in  outstanding  limited
partnership units resulted in revised ownership interests of 2.29% and 97.71% by
the general partners and limited partners, respectively.

During the twelve months ended March 31, 1998, the  Partnership  repurchased and
canceled 37,827 limited  partnership  units from its investors which resulted in
2,860,895  limited  partnership  units  outstanding  as of March 31,  1998.  The
reduction in the number of  outstanding  limited  partnership  units resulted in
revised  ownership  interests  of 1.33% and 98.67% by the general  partners  and
limited partners, respectively.

Reclassifications - Certain items in the 1997 consolidated  financial statements
have  been   reclassified  to  conform  to  the  1998   consolidated   statement
presentation.


Note 2.  REFERENCE TO 1997 AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These unaudited  consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 1997 audited

                                                          1998        1997

                                                         ======      =====

The Partnership  also  reimburses the General Partner for expenses  incurred for
services provided to the Partnership such as accounting, investor services, data
processing, legal and administrative services, and the actual costs of goods and
materials used on behalf of the Partnership.  The General Partner was reimbursed
$51,000 and $43,000 for such  expenses  during the three  months ended March 31,
1998 and 1997, respectively.

Note 4.  REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

Effective  January 1, 1998,  the  Partnership  purchased  for $104,000  from the
Partnership's  20% partner in Resort Group LLC  ("Resort")  (see Note 7), an 80%
interest in Casa 31 LLC ("Casa"). Casa owns 21 condominiums in Galveston,  Texas
with  an  aggregate  net  book  value  of  $415,000.   Simultaneous   with  this
transaction,  the Partnership and its 20% minority partner in Resort contributed
their respective 80% and 20% interests in Casa to Resort.

On February  23,  1998,  Resort  purchased a 100%  interest in Mountain  Resorts
Properties LLC ("MRPLLC")  which owns nine rental  condominiums in the Steamboat
Springs,  Colorado area with an aggregate net book value of $1,834,000 (see Note
7).

Both Casa and MRPLLC consolidates its financial  statements with Resort (the 80%
owner) who consolidates  its financial  statements with the Partnership (the 80%
owner of Resort). The joint venture partners' interest is recognized as minority
interest.

Note 5.  MARKETABLE SECURITIES OF AFFILIATE

In the  first  quarter  of 1998,  the  Partnership  purchased  a total of 20,000
additional shares of Glenborough Realty Trust Incorporated  ("GLB") common stock
for $557,000. GLB, an affiliate of the Partnership,  is a real estate investment
trust and is  publicly  traded on the New York Stock  Exchange.  As of March 31,
1998, the Partnership  owns 100,500 shares in GLB with an aggregate market value
of $2,927,000  (based on the closing  market price of $29.125 per share on March
31, 1998). This represents a $520,000 unrealized gain on marketable  securities,
a net $14,000 decrease in unrealized gain on marketable securities from December
31, 1997, which is reflected on the accompanying statement of partners' equity.


Note 6.  INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATED PARTNERSHIP

GLENBOROUGH PROPERTIES L.P.:
At March 31, 1998, the Partnership holds 691,883 limited partnership units or an
approximate 2.2% interest in Glenborough Properties L.P. ("GPLP"), the operating
partnership  of GLB,  from its  various  contributions  and sales of real estate
assets to GPLP.  Since the  Partnership  holds only a 2.2%  interest  in GPLP at
March 31, 1998,  the  Partnership  accounts for this  investment  using the cost
method.

In January 1998, the Partnership  received  $290,591,  representing  the fourth
quarter  1997   distribution  from  GPLP,  which  is  included  in  income  from
investments  in  partnerships  on the  accompanying  consolidated  statement  of
operations.

At March 31, 1998, the investment in GPLP is the  Partnership's  only investment
in  affiliated   partnerships,   with  an  approximate   fair  market  value  of
$20,151,000, based on the closing market price of $29.125 per share of GLB which
is equivalent to the price per GPLP unit.

         Net income         $      191
                            ==========

The  Partnership's  share of  Windswept's  net income for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 was $96,000.

The  Partnership  has  received  monthly   distributions  of  $18,000  from  its
investment in Windswept for a total to date in 1998 of $54,000.

RESORT GROUP LLC:
The Partnership  owns an 80% interest in Resort Group LLC  ("Resort").  Resort's
primary  investments  are an 80%  interest  in Mountain  Resorts LLC  ("Mountain
Resorts")  and  100%  interests  in Casa and  Mountain  Resorts  Properties  LLC
("MRPLLC").  The  primary  business  of Mountain  Resorts is the  management  of
various  condominiums and townhouses in the Steamboat  Springs area of Colorado,
which includes nine condominiums  owned by MRPLLC. As a result of its investment
in Resort,  the Partnership  consolidates  its financial  statements with Resort
(after  Resort  consolidates  with  Mountain  Resorts,   Casa  and  MRPLLC)  and
recognizes its joint venture partner's interest as minority interest.

WESTWARD-GULFTON LTD:
On January 8, 1998, the Partnership purchased for $500,000, a 36.36% interest in
Westward-Gulfton  Ltd., a Texas Limited Partnership  ("Westward").  Westward was
organized to acquire and renovate the  Westward  Square  Apartments,  a 672-unit
multifamily residential property in Houston, Texas.

Since the  Partnership  owns a 36.36%  interest  in  Westward,  the  Partnership
accounts for this investment using the equity method.

Summary  condensed  balance  sheet  information  as of  March  31,  1998 and the
condensed  statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are
not available.  Management,  however, believes that the Partnership's portion of
the net income/loss of Westward is not material at March 31, 1998.

("CIP-Waikiki").  CIP-Waikiki  owns and  operates  a  Cheeseburger  In  Paradise
restaurant on Waikiki Beach in Honolulu,  Hawaii.  Since the Partnership  owns a
5.63% interest in  CIP-Waikiki,  the  Partnership  accounts for this  investment
using the cost method.

Since the Partnership owns less than 5% of the individual  Rancon  partnerships,
it accounts for these investments using the cost method.

Note 8.  INVESTMENT IN MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

Investment  in  management  contracts  reflects the  unamortized  portion of the
management  contracts  Mountain  Resorts  holds  with  various  condominium  and
townhouse owners in the Steamboat  Springs area of Colorado.  For book purposes,
these contracts are amortized over seven years.

Note 9.  DEPOSITS IN ESCROW

Deposits in escrow  represent  amounts  collected by Mountain  Resorts for guest
reservations for visits to the resort within the next six months. This amount is
offset by a comparable reservation deposits liability.

Note 10. NOTES PAYABLE

On January 2, 1998, the Partnership  paid down  $1,692,000 on the  Mid-Peninsula
Bank  ("Mid-Pen")  revolving line of credit from the proceeds  received from the

portion of its investments in unaffiliated  real estate limited  partnerships in
1997.  In February  1998,  the  Partnership  drew an  aggregate  $852,000 on its
Mid-Pen revolving line of credit to fund a special  distribution to its partners

On February 23, 1998,  Resort issued four promissory notes totaling  $306,000 to
the prior  owners of MRPLLC for  Resort's  acquisition  of its 100%  interest in
MRPLLC (see Note 4 above).  These notes bear  interest at 8.5% per annum,  fully
amortizing on March 1, 2001.

The  Partnership  also increased its notes payable  balance by $1,707,000 in the
first quarter of 1998 from Resort's purchase of ownership  interests in Casa and
MRPLLC,  which includes five existing  promissory  notes for these two entities.
These notes bear interest at various rates ranging from 7% fixed to "Prime" plus
1% with maturity ranging from November 1998 to November 2011.

Note 11. DISTRIBUTIONS

On February 18, 1998, the Partnership made a $587,000 cash  distribution to help
alleviate  its   partners'  tax  burden   arising  from  their  portion  of  the
undistributed 1997 taxable income of the Partnership.

Note 12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 13, 1998,  the  Partnership  received a first quarter  distribution  of
$291,000 from GPLP for its 691,883  limited  partnership  units in GPLP. Also on
April 13, 1998, the Partnership  received a first quarter dividend of $42,000 on
its 100,500 shares of common stock in GLB.

Effective May 1, 1998,  Glenborough  Corporation  withdrew as a general partner,
which left Robert Batinovich as the sole general partner.

Also  effective  May 1, 1998,  the  Partnership  acquired for  $340,000,  an 80%
interest in Resort Group Inc. ("RG Inc.") from an affiliate of the  Partnership.

Texas. RG Inc. will  consolidate  its financial  statements with Resort (the 80%
owner) who consolidates  its financial  statements with the Partnership (the 80%
owner of Resort).  The joint  venture  partner's  interest will be recognized as
minority interest.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
          of Operations

INTRODUCTION

The following  discussion  addresses the  Partnership's  financial  condition at
March 31, 1998 and its results of  operations  for the three  months ended March
31,  1998 and 1997.  This  information  should be read in  conjunction  with the
Partnership's audited December 31, 1997 Consolidated Financial Statements, notes
thereto and other information contained elsewhere in this report.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the three months ended March 31, 1998,  the  Partnership  drew a total of
$1,115,000 on the  Mid-Peninsula  Bank  ("Mid-Pen")  revolving line of credit to
fund:  (i) a  $587,000  distribution  to its  partners  to  help  alleviate  its
partners'  tax  burden  arising  from their  portion  of the 1997  undistributed
taxable income of the Partnership;  (ii) the redemption of 37,827 of its limited
partnership  units;  and (iii) the purchase of 10,000  shares of common stock in
Glenborough Realty Trust Incorporated  ("GLB"),  an affiliate of the Partnership
which is a publicly  traded (New York Stock  Exchange)  real  estate  investment
trust.  During  this  period,  the  Partnership  paid  down  $1,692,000  on this
revolving line of credit from the proceeds of the Partnership's liquidation of a
portion of its investments in unaffiliated  real estate limited  partnerships in
1997. As of March 31, 1998, $3,189,000 remains available on this line of credit.

The  Partnership  also used $293,000 from its operating cash reserves during the
three months ended March 31, 1998 for the purchase of 10,000  additional  shares
of common stock in GLB.

On January 8, 1998, the Partnership  invested  $500,000 for a 36.36% interest in
Westward-Gulfton  Ltd., a Texas Limited Partnership  ("Westward").  Westward was
organized  to acquire the Westward  Square  Apartments,  a 672-unit  multifamily
residential property in Houston, Texas.

During the three months  ended March 31, 1998,  the  Partnership  purchased  for
$104,000 from the Partnership's  20% partner in Resort Group LLC ("Resort"),  an
80% interest in Casa 31 LLC ("Casa").  Casa owns 21  condominiums  in Galveston,
Texas with an aggregate net book value of $415,000.  The Partnership and its 20%
joint venture partner immediately contributed their respective interests in Casa
to Resort.

Also during the three months ended March 31, 1998, Resort purchased for $487,242
($132,893  cash) a 100% interest in Mountain  Resort  Properties  LLC ("MRPLLC")
which owns nine rental condominiums in the Steamboat Springs, Colorado area with
an aggregate net book value of $1,834,000. Resort assumed $1,335,000 in mortgage
debt as part of the  acquisition  of MRPLLC and  issued  four  promissory  notes
totaling  $306,000 to the prior  owners of MRPLLC for  Resort's  purchase of its
100% interest in MRPLLC.

As a  result  of  the  Partnership's  80%  investment  in  Resort  and  Resort's
controlling  investments  in Mountain  Resorts (in 1997),  Casa and MRPLLC,  the
Partnership  consolidates  its  financial  



                                 Page 14 of 18
<PAGE>


statements with Resort (after Resort  consolidates with Mountain  Resorts,  Casa
and MRPLLC) and  recognizes  its joint  venture  partner's  interest as minority
interest.

Along with draws on the  Partnership's  Mid-Pen  revolving  line of credit,  the
Partnership was able to fund these capital  expenditures  from proceeds from the
December 1997  liquidation of its investments in various  partnerships  and from
distributions  and dividends  received on its  investments in  partnerships  and
marketable securities.

As of March 31,  1998,  the  Partnership's  assets  consisted  primarily  of its
investments  in  real  estate,  marketable  securities,   management  contracts,
reservation  deposits held in escrow for future resort guests and  miscellaneous
investments  in  various   affiliated   and   unaffiliated   partnerships.   The
Partnership's  primary  liabilities  included:  (i)  amounts  due on the Mid-Pen
revolving line of credit;  (ii) various mortgage and promissory notes associated
with the purchase of ownership interests in Resort,  Casa and MRPLLC;  (iii) and
deposits held for future rental use of the condominiums and townhouses.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Rental income  increased  $155,000  during the three months ended March 31, 1998
compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997 due to the Partnership's first
quarter  1998  investment  in  Casa  and  MRPLLC,  which  own  condominiums  and
townhouses.  Results from  operations of these  entities have been  consolidated
with the Partnership.

Income from investment in partnership increased $110,000 during the three months
ended March 31, 1998  compared to the three  months  ended March 31, 1997 due to
the  increase  in  units  held in  Glenborough  Properties  L.P.  ("GPLP"),  the
operating  partnership of GLB, as well as an increase in the  distribution  rate
from $0.32 to $0.42 per unit.

The income from  management  contracts  during the three  months ended March 31,
1998  represents  the revenue  earned by Mountain  Resorts for managing  various
condominiums and townhouses in the Steamboat Springs, Colorado area.

Equity in earnings of investment in  partnerships  increased  $66,000 due to the
increase in earnings  recognized from the Partnership's 50% share of income from
Windswept during the first quarter of 1998 over the earnings recognized from the
Partnership's  25% share of income from GRC Airport  during the first quarter of
1997.  The  Partnership  invested in Windswept in July 1997 while it transferred
its 25% interest in GRC Airport to GPLP for GPLP units in December 1997.

The $51,000  increase in  dividends,  interest and other income during the three
months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997 is
primarily  due to  dividends  received in January  1998 for its shares of common
stock in GLB. The Partnership did not own any shares in GLB until April 1997.





                                 Page 15 of 18

The  increases  in  operating,  general  and  administrative,  depreciation  and
amortization and interest  expenses during the three months ended March 31, 1998
compared  to  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1997  are a  result  of the
Partnership's  investments  in, and resulting  consolidation  of, Resort and its
subsidiary  entities (Mountain Resorts,  Casa and MRPLLC) during the past twelve
months.  The Partnership  invested in Resort and Mountain  Resorts in July 1997,
Casa in January 1998 and MRPLLC in February 1998.

Year 2000 Compliance

The Partnership  utilizes a number of computer  software  programs and operating
systems across its entire organization, including applications used in financial
business systems and various  administrative  functions.  To the extent that the
Partnership's  software  applications  contain  a source  code that is unable to
appropriately interpret the upcoming calendar year "2000" and beyond, some level
of  modification,  or replacement of such  applications  will be necessary.  The
Partnership has completed its  identification  of applications  that are not yet
"Year 2000"  compliant and has commenced  modification  or  replacement  of such
applications,  as necessary.  Given the information known at this time about the
Partnership's  systems that are  non-compliant,  coupled with the  Partnership's
ongoing,  normal  course-of-business  efforts to  upgrade  or  replace  critical
systems,  as necessary,  management does not expect "Year 2000" compliance costs
to have any material  adverse impact on the  Partnership's  liquidity or ongoing
results of  operations.  No  assurance  can be given,  however,  that all of the
Partnership's  systems will be "Year 2000" compliant or that compliance costs or
the  impact of the  Partnership's  failure to achieve  substantial  "Year  2000"
compliance will not have a material adverse effect on the  Partnership's  future
liquidity or results of operations.
