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


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Although  Partnership  liquidity  continues to decrease as production costs
for the 2000 crop continue,  the Partnership  will have sufficient  liquidity to
complete  the harvest and  delivery of the current  crop.  The Almond  Board has
released  the 23% 1999 crop  reserve  due to good  sales.  The  release  of this
reserve should have the effect of increasing  income from the 1999 crop by $0.20
to $0.25 per pound.

Results of Operations

     The  Partnership  continued  to operate at a  break-even  rate in the first
quarter 2000. 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 poor weather  during the almond  pollination in February and
March,  the 2000 crop is expected to be small that the 1999 crop. It is to early
to determine what the projected 2000 almond prices will be.
