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


     Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The  Partnership  liquidity  continues  to decrease.  Distributions  to
     Limited  Partners  have  decreased to  $57,000.00  per quarter.  Due to the
     decreasing   reserves  and  the  current   state  of  the  almond   market,
     distributions  may be suspended in the fourth  quarter  until almond market
     conditions improve.


     Results of Operations

         The Partnership continued to operate at a break-even rate in the second
     quarter 1999.  This result is not  indicative of the results for the entire
     fiscal year,  due to the seasonal  nature of the almond  growing  business.
     Almonds are harvested in August  through  October and the crop revenues and
     expenses are recognized at that time. Since the partnership's crop care has
     not been  completed for this growing  season,  it is not possible to say if
     cultural costs will be higher or lower than last year's costs. At this time
     though, it seems that cultural costs will be substantially the same as last
     year.

         Because of the good weather  during the almond  pollination in February
     and March,  the 1999 crop is expected to be largest  ever.  The  California
     Almond  Control Board has declared a 23% set aside.  The declared set aside
     can not be sold and the  Partnership  will not be paid for these  products.
     The effect of this  record  crop has been to reduce  almond  prices for the
     1999 crop to the lowest level in the last 10 years.
