NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998
(unaudited)
The financial statements of the Partnership included herein have been
prepared by the Partnership pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the
accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, which
are of a normal recurring nature, to present fairly the Partnership's
financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at the dates and
for the periods presented. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Partnership's audited financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1997, as certain footnote disclosures which would
substantially duplicate those contained in such audited financial
statements have been omitted from this report. Interim results of
operations are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the
fiscal year.
1. GUARANTY AGREEMENT
The Partnership has entered into a guaranty agreement with EML Associates
(the "Venture"), a joint venture in which the Partnership holds a 20%
interest and invests in income-producing real properties and a fixed-rate
mortgage loan, to provide a minimum return to ML/EQ Real Estate Portfolio,
L.P.'s ("ML/EQ") limited partners on their contributions. Payments on the
guaranty are due 90 days following the earlier of the sale or other
disposition of all the properties and mortgage loans and notes or the
liquidation of ML/EQ. The minimum return will be an amount which, when
added to the cumulative distributions from ML/EQ to its limited partners,
will enable ML/EQ to provide its limited partners with a minimum return
equal to their capital contributions plus a simple annual return of 9.75%
on their adjusted capital contributions calculated from the dates of
ML/EQ's investor closings at which investors acquired their Beneficial
Assignee Certificates ("BACs"). Adjusted capital contributions are the
limited partners' original cash contributions reduced by distributions of
sale or financing proceeds and by distributions of certain funds in
reserves, as more particularly described in ML/EQ's Partnership Agreement.
The limited partners' original cash contributions have been adjusted by
that portion of distributions paid through March 31, 1998 resulting from
cash available to ML/EQ as a result of sale or financing proceeds paid to
the Venture.
The minimum return is subject to reduction in the event that certain taxes,
other than local property taxes, are imposed on ML/EQ or the Venture, and
is also subject to certain other limitations. Based upon the assumption
that the last property is sold on December 31, 2002, upon expiration of the
term of ML/EQ, the maximum liability of the Partnership to the Venture
under the guaranty agreement as of March 31, 1998 is limited to
$180,661,723, plus the value of the Partnership's interest in the Venture
less any amounts contributed by the Partnership to the Venture to fund cash
deficits. The Venture has assigned its rights under the guaranty agreement
to ML/EQ. ML/EQ will have recourse under the guaranty agreement only to the
Partnership and EREIM LP Corp. as a general partner of the Partnership but
not to The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States
("Equitable"). Equitable has entered into a Keep Well Agreement with EREIM
LP Corp. to permit EREIM LP Corp. to pay its obligations with respect to
the guaranty agreement as they become due; provided, however, that the
maximum liability of Equitable under the Keep Well Agreement is an amount
equal to the lesser of (i) two percent of the total admitted assets of
Equitable (as determined in accordance with New York Insurance Law) or (ii)
$271,211,250. The Keep Well Agreement provides that only EREIM LP Corp. and
its successors will have the right to enforce Equitable's obligation with
respect to the guaranty agreement.
Capital contributions by the BAC holders of the Partnership totaled
$108,484,500. As of March 31, 1998, the cumulative 9.75% simple annual
return was $103,971,642. As of March 31, 1998, cumulative distributions by
ML/EQ to the BAC holders totaled $64,396,385, of which $26,307,492 is
attributable to income from operations and $38,088,893 is attributable to
sales of Venture assets, principal payments on mortgage loans, and other
capital events. To the extent that future cash distributions to the limited
partners of ML/EQ are insufficient to provide the specified minimum return,
any shortfall will be funded by the guarantor, up to the above described
maximum.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998
(unaudited)
1. GUARANTY AGREEMENT (Continued)
Effective as of January 1, 1997, the Partnership entered into an amendment
to the Joint Venture Agreement of the Venture between the Partnership and
ML/EQ pursuant to which the Partnership agreed to defer, without interest,
its rights to receive 20% of the Venture's distributions of sale or
financing proceeds until ML/EQ has received aggregate distributions from
the Venture in an amount equal to the capital contributions made to ML/EQ
by the BAC holders plus a noncompounded cumulative return computed at the
rate of 9.75% per annum on contributions outstanding from time to time.
Prior to the amendment, the Partnership had a right to receive 20% of all
the Venture's distributions of sale or financing proceeds on a pari passu
basis with ML/EQ. The amendment has the effect of accelerating the return
of original contributions to BAC holders to the extent that sale or
financing proceeds are realized prior to the dissolution of ML/EQ.
2. INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE
In March, 1988, ML/EQ had its initial investor closing. ML/EQ contributed
$90,807,268 to the Venture. The Partnership contributed zero coupon
mortgage notes to the Venture in the amount of $22,701,817. The Venture
purchased an additional $5,675,453 of zero coupon mortgage notes from
Equitable.
In May, 1988, ML/EQ had its second and final investor closing. ML/EQ
contributed $14,965,119 to the Venture. The Partnership contributed zero
coupon mortgage notes to the Venture in the amount of $3,741,280, including
accrued interest. The Venture purchased an additional $935,320 of zero
coupon mortgage notes from Equitable to bring the total amount of zero
coupon mortgage notes owned by the Venture to $33,053,870, including
accrued interest as of the dates of acquisition. One of the zero notes was
accounted for as a deed in lieu of foreclosure by the Venture on July 22,
1994. The remaining note was due on June 30, 1995. The borrower defaulted
on its obligation to repay the loan, and the collateral, Brookdale Center,
was transferred to Equitable and the Venture on December 16, 1996 as
tenants in common, pursuant to a Chapter 11 bankruptcy plan for
reorganization filed with the Bankruptcy Court by the borrower.
During 1997, the Venture consummated the sale of Brookdale Center and the
Chicago Industrial properties. Brookdale Center was sold for a cash price
of $24,830,000, of which the Venture's portion was $17,793,352. Prior to
the sale, the Venture held a 71.66% interest in Brookdale Center. The sale
of Brookdale Center resulted in net sales proceeds of $17,734,260. The
Chicago Industrial properties were sold for a cash price of $7,860,000,
which results in net sales proceeds of $7,649,000.

3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements of the Partnership's
December 31, 1997 audited financial statements, the Partnership is a
defendant in a consolidated action brought in the Court of Chancery of the
State of Delaware entitled IN RE: ML/EQ Real Estate Partnership Litigation.
There have been no new developments associated with this action for the
three months ended March 31, 1998.
<PAGE> 11
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following analysis of the results of operations and financial
condition of the Partnership should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the related notes to financial statements included elsewhere
herein.
Certain Forward-Looking Information
Certain of the statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements include, without limitation,
statements regarding future capital expenditures relating to renovation and
development activities. These forward-looking statements are included in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q based on the intent, belief or current
expectations of the Partnership. However, such forward-looking statements are
not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and
actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
statements as a result of various factors. Although the Partnership believes
that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based
upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will
be achieved. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
the Partnership's current expectations include general local market conditions,
the investment climate for particular property types, individual property
issues, construction delays due to unavailability of materials, weather
conditions or other causes, leasing activities, and the other risks detailed
from time to time in the Partnership's SEC reports, including the Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 1998, the Partnership had cash of $10,000. The cash is
expected to be used for general working capital purposes. The Partnership may
establish additional working capital reserves as the General Partners from time
to time determine are appropriate. In addition, at March 31, 1998, the Venture,
in which the Partnership owns an 20% interest, had approximately $4.6 million in
cash and cash equivalents. This money was retained for the specific purpose of
funding the renovation work on 300 Delaware, to fund possible costs to be
incurred to increase tenancy at 1850 Westfork, Richland Mall and Northland Mall,
to fund capital improvements at the Venture's other properties and to cover
general working capital requirements.
Management continues to evaluate appropriate strategies for the
ownership of each of the assets in its portfolio in order to achieve maximum
value. In this regard, management considers improving capital markets and
investment markets for most types of real estate; local market conditions;
future capital needs, including potential lease exposure for specific
properties; and other issues that impact property performance. Among other
things, this analysis will provide the basis for hold/sell recommendations for
the properties. Management is in discussion with real estate brokers to market
for sale the 1200 Whipple Road, 1345 Doolittle Drive and 16/18 Sentry Park West
properties. While there is no guarantee that efforts to sell these properties
will be successful, management will continue to look for selling opportunities.
On December 16, 1996, Brookdale Center was transferred to the Venture
and Equitable, as tenants in common (collectively, the "Owners"), following
default by the borrower on the mortgage note securing the property. The Owners
considered alternative strategies for Brookdale Center and ultimately determined
that the best course of action was to sell the property. In July 1997, the
Owners received an offer to purchase Brookdale Center and subsequently executed
a binding purchase and sale agreement in October 1997, whereby Talisman
Brookdale L.L.C. agreed to purchase Brookdale Center for approximately $24.8
million, of which the Venture's portion was approximately $17.8 million. The
Venture, in which the Partnership holds a 20% interest, held a 71.66%
participation interest in Brookdale Center. In November 1997, the Venture sold
Brookdale Center to Talisman Brookdale L.L.C. and made a special distribution of
the net proceeds in December 1997. Based on the amendment to the Joint Venture
Agreement effective as of January 1, 1997, the Partnership agreed to defer,
without interest, its right to receive currently 100% of the sale or financing
proceeds attributable to the sale.
Management has established an enhancement, stabilization, and
renovation program for 300 Delaware which was transferred to the Venture by deed
in lieu of foreclosure on November 15, 1994. Estimated costs for this program
total $4.4 million, of which $1.6 million was incurred in 1995, $1.2 million was
incurred in 1996, $398,000 was incurred in 1997, $160,000 was incurred for the
three months ended March 31, 1998, and the remaining balance is expected to be
expended through 1998. As of March 31, 1998, approximately $3.3 million of these
costs had been expended and approximately $91,000 had been accrued but not
expended.
<PAGE> 12
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Included in the estimated $4.4 million of renovation expenditures is
approximately $2.3 million for asbestos abatement, $400,000 for sprinkler
installation, $400,000 for exterior deferred maintenance and $600,000 for
interior and exterior common area cosmetic upgrades. The deferred maintenance
and cosmetic upgrades have been substantially completed as of March 31, 1998.
Management expects to complete the asbestos abatement and sprinkler installation
projects by the end of the year. Additional costs not included in the above
figures are estimated tenant improvements of $3.0 million. The tenant
improvement costs are directly associated with actual leasing and will only be
expended as leasing transactions occur in the building. As of March 31, 1998,
approximately $1.6 million had been expended for tenant improvements. The
remaining tenant improvement costs of approximately $1.4 million are expected to
be expended over the next few years in connection with leasing the currently
vacant space.
As of March 31, 1998, the Venture has incurred costs of approximately
$3.8 million to renovate and to increase tenancy at Richland Mall. This project
is near completion and Management does not expect to incur any additional
significant renovation costs related to the project. There is one block of
vacant space remaining to be leased. The vacant space is being actively marketed
by management.
Financial Condition
The Partnership's financial statements reflect its proportional
ownership interest in, and its share of the results of operations of the
Venture, through which the Partnership conducts its business of investment in
real property.
The decrease in guaranty receivable of approximately $111,000, or 62%,
from $180,000 at December 31, 1997 to $69,000 at March 31, 1998 is attributable
to the payment to EREIM LP by ML/EQ of the $180,000 guaranty fee in February,
1998, offset by the accrual of $69,000 of guaranty fee receivable for the first
three months of 1998.
Results of Operations
Equity in net income of the Venture for the three months ended March
31, 1998 decreased approximately $220,000, or 38%, to $350,000 from $570,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1997. The decrease is due primarily to the sale
of Brookdale Center and the Chicago Industrial properties at the end of 1997,
resulting in lower net income for the Venture for the three months ended March
31, 1998.
Year 2000
The inability of computers, software and other equipment to recognize
and properly process data fields containing a two digit year is commonly
referred to as the Year 2000 compliance issue. As the year 2000 approaches, such
systems may be unable to accurately process certain date-based information.
The Partnership and the Venture rely on the services of third-party
providers, including Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. and ERE Yarmouth, for all its
computing needs. The Partnership and the Venture are in the process of
communicating with such third-party providers to obtain assurance that such
providers will be Year 2000 compliant. There can be no assurance that the
systems of such providers will be Year 2000 compliant or that any third party's
failure to have Year 2000 compliant systems will not have a material adverse
effect on the Partnership and the Venture.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Several class action lawsuits have been filed against Midwest
Real Estate Shopping Center, L.P., the original borrower on the Northland Center
Zero Coupon Mortgage Note ("Midwest"), the general partner of Midwest, certain
officers of such general partner, Lehman Brothers, Inc., Equitable and Equitable
Real Estate. The complaints allege, among other things, that defendants breached
their fiduciary duties and violated federal securities laws in connection with
the initial sale of BACs, the operation of Midwest and Midwest's sale of
Northland Center to the Venture and Equitable. The Venture, ML/EQ and the
Partnership have not been named as parties to the lawsuits. A settlement of
