            Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998, and 1997
                                   (Unaudited)

Note (1) Basis of Presentation

A  summary  of  significant  accounting  policies  used  by The  Marina  Limited
Partnership is set forth in Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements included in
the December 31, 1997 Annual Report Form 10-K.

The  interim  financial   statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with
instructions  to Form 10-Q, and therefore,  do not include all  information  and
footnotes  necessary for a fair presentation of financial  position,  results of
operations  and cash flows in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.

The interim  financial  statements at September 30, 1998,  and for the three and
nine  months  ended  September  30,  1998 and  1997,  have not been  audited  by
independent  accountants,  but  reflect,  in  the  opinion  of  management,  all
adjustments  (which  include  only normal  recurring  adjustments)  necessary to
present fairly the financial position,  results of operations and cash flows for
such periods.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTH  PERIODS  ENDED  
         SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997.

The  following  discussion  and analysis is intended to address the  significant
factors  affecting  the  Partnership's   results  of  operations  and  financial
condition.  It is  designed  to  provide  a  more  comprehensive  review  of the
operating results and financial position than could be obtained from an analysis
of the financial  statements alone. It should,  however,  be read in conjunction
with the financial statements included elsewhere herein.

     Homesite Sales

During the three and nine month periods ended  September 30, 1998 and 1997,  the
Partnership sold homesites as follows:

COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND YEAR 2000 ISSUES

The  Partnership is currently  upgrading its computer  systems to provide a more
complete  management  information  system, and accordingly will install software
that is  anticipated  will  properly  recognize  the Year  2000 to avoid  system
failures.  It is  anticipated  that this  upgrade  will be complete by March 31,
1999.  The cost of the Year 2000  compliance  within this  system  change is not
identifiable, but is not deemed material.

No estimate has been made by the  Partnership  as to any adverse impact that may
result from the failure of the Partnership's vendors or suppliers to become Year
2000 compliant.  If the Partnership or one or more of the third party vendors or
suppliers fail to complete its Year 2000 program in a timely  manner,  there can
be no assurance that such failure will not have a material adverse effect on the
Partnership's  operations or financial plan. The Partnership has not developed a
Year 2000  contingency  plan  that  would  address  Year  2000-related  problems
experienced by either the  Partnership or one or more of its third party vendors
or suppliers.

The foregoing discussion of Year 2000 issues includes forward-looking statements
reflecting the  Partnership's  current  assessment with respect to its Year 2000
compliance  efforts  and the  impact  of Year 2000  issues on the  Partnership's
business and  operations.  Various  factors could cause actual results to differ
materially  from  those  contemplated  by such  assessment  and  forward-looking
statements,   including  many  factors  that  are  beyond  the  control  of  the
Partnership.  These factors include, but are not limited to,  representations by
vendors and  customers,  technological  advancements,  economic  conditions  and
competitive considerations.

Results of Operations
Nine Months ended September 30, 1998
1998 Compared to 1997.

Net earnings increased by $81,000 in 1998 from 1997. This increase was primarily
due to increases in earnings after direct costs from homesites and home sales of
$129,000,  an increase in earnings after direct costs from Marina  operations of
$283,000,  and an  increase  of $83,000 in equity  earnings  from Marina I, L.P.
These  increases  were offset by a decrease in 1998 compared to 1997 in earnings
from sale of investment land of $428,000.

The  increase in  operating  income of $283,000  from marine  operations  is the
result of contributions from all elements of the marine business. Such increases
are primarily  attributable to volume increases  stemming from a strong economic
environment.  The marine  business is recreational in nature and a good economic
climate  results  in more  disposable  income,  some of  which  is  directed  to
recreational goods and services.

The Partnership  recognized  $969,000 as its share of the earnings from Marina I
in 1998,  compared to $886,000 in 1997.  This increase is the result of homesite
sales of $3,198,000 in 1998 as compared to  $2,739,000 in 1997,  which  reflects
the shift in homesite  sales to Marina I due to the  Partnership's  homesites in
Cambridge being substantially sold.

The increase in the cost of homes and homesites sold as a percentage of revenues
is due to the  Partnership's  sale of four homes  during  the nine month  period
ended  September 30, 1998 compared to none in 1997.  These sales reflect a lower
margin as compared to homesite sales.

During 1998, the  Partnership  sold  commercial  property held for investment at
Morse Lake for an aggregate $237,000, which resulted in a gain of $234,000. This
compared to a gain of $662,000 on sale of investment property in 1997.

On April 3, 1998, the  Partnership  made a cash  distribution to the partners of
record on March 23, 1998, of $3.50 per unit of partnership interest, for a total
of $2,363,000.  This compares to a cash  distribution  of $3.25 per  partnership
unit on April 17, 1997.

Results of Operations
Three Months ended September 30, 1998
1998 Compared to 1997.

Net earnings  decreased by $40,000 for the third  quarter of 1998 as compared to
1997.  This  was  primarily  due to a  decrease  in  earnings  from  the sale of
investment  land of $566,000  during the third quarter of 1997 which in turn was
substantially  offset by an increase of $327,000 in earnings from  homesites and
home  building  sales and $160,000  improvement  in Marine  earnings  over third
quarter 1997.

The Partnership  recognized  $130,000 as its share of the earnings from Marina I
in 1998,  compared to $211,000 in 1997.  This decrease is the result of homesite
sales of $382,000 in 1998 as compared to $473,000 in 1997.

During the third quarter of 1998 the Partnership advanced $1,350,000 to Flatfork
Creek  Utility  which was used to retire  bank debt  which the  Partnership  had
guaranteed.  This advance will carry a 6.6% annual interest rate,  which was the
rate charged by the bank on the debt.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation  S-K, the  Partnership  is not required to
provide information in response to this Item 3.
