                              PART I

Item  1.  Business.
          
          The registrant is a Partnership which was formed for the express      
          purpose of investing in income-producing multi-family residential     
          real properties in the Northwestern United States.  The Partnership   
          filed a Form S-11 registration statement which was declared effective 
          by the SEC on September 1, 1987.  The primary objectives of the
          Partnership are to:  (1) preserve and protect the limited partners'   
          capital; (2) provide cash distributions to limited partners and (3)   
          obtain long-term appreciation through increases in the value of the   
          Partnership's real estate assets.  

          The general partner of the registrant is DBSI Housing Inc., an
          Idaho corporation (incorporated in February 1980).  On December 31,
          1992 DBSI Housing Inc. acquired the general partner interests of
          Tomlinson Realty Investment II.  Tomlinson Realty Investment II
          continues to hold one half of their original general partner profits
          interest as a limited partner.  The registrant is a limited partner-
          ship which was formed as of November 15, 1986 (filed with the Idaho
          Secretary of State on January 5, 1987), under the Idaho Uniform
          Limited Partnership Act and will continue until December 31, 2036,
          unless sooner dissolved, in accordance with the Partnership Agreement.
          See documents incorporated by reference and attached hereto.  (Form
          S-11, Post Effective Amendment #9, File No. 33-11418, Pgs. 29-33,

          Amendment #9, File No. 33-11418, Pgs. 7a(1) - 7a(5).

Item  3.  Legal Proceedings.

          There were no material pending legal proceedings against the          
          registrant during 1995.

Item  4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

          During 1995 there were no votes of security holders, through          
          solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

Item  5.  Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder
          Matters.

          There is no established public trading market for the Limited
          Partnership Interests of the registrant. 
               
          As of August 31, 1989 the registrant closed the offering of interests
          and received the proceeds from subscriptions for 4,711.657 interests. 

          Distributions to Limited Partners during the years ended December 31,
          1995, 1994 and 1993 totaled $325,912, $325,912, and $325,914.

Item  7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership generated funds primarily from the operation of rental
properties and to a lesser extent from interest on savings and certificates of
deposit.

Funds are used for rental property operating expenses, distributions to
partners, debt service, fixed asset replacements, capital improvements,
management and professional fees.  The Partnership does not anticipate
acquiring any additional properties or refinancing any existing properties. 
The Partnership sold Vista Cornell Apartments in October 1995 and Oak Square 
Apartments in February 1996.  The general partners believe that the Partnership
will have the liquidity and capital resources to meet all of its known
obligations and commitments.

The cash and cash equivalents position of the Partnership at December 31, 1995
represented approximately $19,000 available for Partnership operations. 
Additionally, approximately $30,000 is in bank accounts reserved for tax, 
insurance and replacements.  There were no external sources of liquidity and
there are no outstanding capital commitments.  The average rate of interest
earned on cash deposits was 3.2%.

<PAGE>

Cash Flow and Operations

For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993 the projects generated
$142,207, $276,095, and $293,110, respectively of cash flows from operating
activities per the Statements of Cash Flows.  Of the total current period cash
flow from operating activities, net cash flow of $125,551 came from the
operations of the apartment projects and cash flow of $16,656 came from
interest income earned on cash or equivalent investments.  The 1995 rental
operations generated cash receipts of $859,947, incurred operating expenses of
$431,136 and interest expense of $202,726.  Emerald Court Apartments, the only
property with a mortgage, has relatively lower cash flow from operating
activities than the unencumbered properties. 

The following adjustments should be made to the cash flow in order to arrive at
an amount comparable to the first year pro forma funds from operations as shown
in the supplement to the prospectus for Emerald Court and Oak Square.  First,
transitory changes in noncash operating assets and liabilities of approximately
$5,900 should be added, increasing cash flow to the actual funds which are being
generated from operations on an ongoing basis.  Additionally, cash flow should
be reduced for principal payments of approximately $11,000 and for normal
operations fixed asset purchases of approximately $23,200.  After the above
adjustments, the two properties combined annualized funds from operations for
1995 were approximately 36% of the first year pro forma amount.   

Interest income decreased from $9,912 in 1992 to $5,606 in 1993 and decreased
from $5,606 in 1993 to $2,015 in 1994 largely because the average rate of return
on cash decreased in 1993 and 1994.  Interest income increased from $2,015 to
$16,656 in 1995 because of the interest payments on the note for Vista Cornell.
In 1995 total rental operations income of $859,947 represented a 4% decrease
from the 1994 level and a 2% increase from 1993.  Real estate operating
expenses decreased from $387,415 in 1992 to $382,447 in 1993, a 1.2% decrease
and increased to $431,136 in 1994, a 12.7% increase and to $494,326 in 1995, a
12% annual increase.  The largest expense increases came from on-site
management costs and from utilities at Emerald Court.  Therefore net income
decreased over the same period because of proportionately higher increases in
expenses than in rental income.

On October 19,1995, the Partnership closed the sale of Vista Cornell Apartments
to an unrelated buyer for $1,700,000.  The buyer gave a note secured by the
property for $1,460,000 and paid $240,000 cash for the balance.  The Partnership
paid costs of sale of approximately $55,000 (including commissions to unrelated
real estate brokers of $50,000), and received net cash proceeds of approximately
$185,000.  The buyer's installment note requires payments of approximately
$11,750 per month including interest of 9% on the unpaid balance.  The note may 
be prepaid at any time and is due in full on October 19, 1999.  The cash flow
generated from the interest on the note should exceed the annualized year to
date cash flow of the Vista Cornell Apartments by approximately 28% or an
increase of $29,000.      

Had this sale occurred on January 1, 1995 the rental income of the partnership
would have decreased by approximately $203,000, interest would have increased by
approximately $117,000, and net income would have increased by approximately
$65,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995.

On February 21, 1996, the Partnership sold the Oak Square Apartments to  
unrelated individual parties, titled through the Western American Exchange
Corporation.   The buyers paid $970,000 cash for the property.  The Partnership
netted approximately $932,900 from the sale after commissions to unrelated
parties of $29,100, closing costs of approximately $4,000 and a credit for
capital improvements of $4,000.  Funds from closing also covered security 
deposits of approximately $6,200 and prorations of tax and rent of approximately
$5,000.  The Partnership purchased the property in January 1988 for $550,000 and
at the time of sale it had fixed asset carrying costs of approximately $467,600
($619,200 cost basis less accumulated depreciation of $151,600).  The Partner-
ship realized a gain of approximately $465,300 on the sale ($932,900 net
proceeds less adjusted basis of $467,600).

Distributions of $325,912 to limited partners were made in 1995, with $142,207
from current cash flow from operations.  Partnership net income after
depreciation (on a GAAP basis) for the year ended December 31, 1995 was
$67,454; therefore, on a GAAP basis, cash distributions in excess of that amount
were a return of capital.  Cash provided from operations since inception 
(November 15, 1986) totaled $1,935,474.  Through December 31, 1995 cumulative
distributions to partners equalled $2,361,039.  Cumulative distributions at
December 31, 1995 exceeded cash provided from operations since inception by
$425,565.  These excess cash distributions came from Partnership reserves.  The
Partnership's intent is to match distributions with long-term, ongoing cash flow
from operations.  Cash flow is anticipated to improve during 1996 to more
closely match the level of distributions.

Per $1,000 investment (on the basis of a $1,000 investment made at the
inception of the escrow and offering) quarterly distributions have been made in
the following amounts: escrow period - $83; October 1988 through February 
1990 - $18; April 1990 through February 1991 - $19; and May 1991 through October
1995 - $18.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Partners of
  DBSI/TRI Equity Income Fund
  A Real Estate Limited Partnership:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of DBSI/TRI Equity Income Fund
A Real Estate Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the
related statements of earnings, partners' capital and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of DBSI/TRI Equity Income Fund A Real Estate
Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                          (an Idaho limited partnership)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              For the Years Ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993


NOTE 1.   SUMMARY OF PARTNERSHIP ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING        
          POLICIES

Partnership Organization.  

DBSI/TRI Equity Income Fund A Real Estate Limited Partnership, was formed on
November 15, 1986 with general partners DBSI Housing Inc., an Idaho corporation,
and Tomlinson Realty Investment II, an Idaho general partnership.  On December
31, 1992 DBSI Housing Inc. acquired the general partner interest of Tomlinson
Realty Investment II.  Tomlinson Realty Investment II continues to hold one half
of their original general partner profits interest as a limited partner.  The
Partnership was in the development stage through December 31, 1987 and in the
offering stage through August 31, 1989.  The business purpose of the Partnership
is to acquire and operate leveraged multi-family housing projects primarily in
the Northwestern United States.  The partnership agreement provides that the
Partnership will be dissolved no later than December 31, 2036, unless sooner
terminated as provided in the agreement.

The Partnership acquired three properties during the offering period:  Vista
Cornell Apartments, an existing 46-unit project; Oak Square Apartments, an
existing 22-unit project, both located in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan
area; and Emerald Court Apartments, a new 68-unit apartment project located in
the Seattle metropolitan area.  The Partnership sold Vista Cornell Apartments
on October 19, 1995, and Oak Square Apartments on February 21, 1996.

Operating profits and losses exclusive of losses from the sale or disposition
of Partnership properties, and cash distributions, are allocated 98% to limited
partners and 2% to general partners.  After the limited partners have received
distributions equal to a 7% annual return on their capital contributions the
general partners receive additional distributions equal to 5% of total
distributions.  Proceeds from sale or refinancing are to be distributed 100%
to the limited partners until they have received cumulative distributions equal
to their capital contributions plus an amount equal to 10% per annum, then 85% 
to the limited partners and 15% to the general partners.

Significant Accounting Policies.  

The balance sheets include only those assets, liabilities, and partners'
capital which relate to the business of the Partnership and do not include
any assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses attributable to the partners'
activities.  No partners receive salaries from the Partnership for services. 
No provision has been made for federal and state income taxes since these taxes
are the personal responsibility of the partners. 

Rental property is recorded at cost.  Depreciation is computed by the Modified
Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) or straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:  buildings and structural 
improvements - 15 to 32 years; furniture and fixtures - 5 to 12 years. 
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as 
incurred.  The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise
retired are removed from the accounts and gain or loss on disposition is
included in the results of operations.  Loan fees are amortized over the
estimated life of the note (ten years) beginning in May, 1989. 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks (except for security deposits
and reserve bank accounts), bank certificates of deposit with original
maturities of ninety days or less, and reserve for return to owners.  Reserves

consist of bank deposits maintained for replacements and repairs, property 
taxes, insurance, and Partnership reserves.

The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and
long-term debt approximates their carrying amounts.

<PAGE>

The preparation of the Partnership's financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, requires management to review long-lived
assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.  This statement will
be effective for the Partnership's fiscal year end December 31, 1996.  The
Partnership's existing accounting policies are such that this pronouncement is
not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

3.  SALE OF RENTAL PROPERTIES & SUBSEQUENT EVENT 

On October 19, 1995 the Partnership sold the Vista Cornell Apartments to an
unrelated party, Vista Cornell L.L.C.  The buyer paid a total price of
$1,700,000 with $240,000 cash and a seller's note and deed of trust for
$1,460,000.  The note bears 9% interest and requires monthly payments of
$11,747 until October 19, 1999 when the full balance of approximately $1,415,638
plus any unpaid accrued interest becomes due.  The buyer may prepay at any
earlier date.  The Partnership realized a net gain of approximately $648,000 on
the sale ($73,000 current and $575,000 deferred gain), based on the carrying
cost (after depreciation) of approximately $997,000 and costs of sale of
$55,000 including $50,000 in commissions to unrelated third parties and
approximately $5,000 in other closing costs.  Funds from closing also covered
prorated costs and income of approximately $20,000.  The Partnership
purchased the property in January 1988 for $1,050,000 and at time of sale it
had fixed asset carrying costs of approximately $1,266,000 less approximately
$269,000 of accumulated depreciation. 

On February 21, 1996, the Partnership sold the Oak Square Apartments to 
unrelated individual parties, titled through the Western American Exchange
Corporation.   The buyers paid $970,000 cash for the property.  The
Partnership netted approximately $932,900 from the sale after commissions to
unrelated parties of $29,100, closing costs of approximately $4,000 and a 
credit for capital improvements of $4,000.  Funds from closing also covered
security deposits of approximately $6,200 and prorations of tax and rent of
approximately $5,000.  The Partnership purchased the property in January 1988
for $550,000 and at the time of sale it had fixed asset carrying costs of
approximately $467,600 ($619,200 cost basis less accumulated depreciation of
$151,600).  The Partnership realized a gain of approximately $465,300 on the 
sale ($932,900 net proceeds less adjusted basis of $467,600).  


4.  MORTGAGE PAYABLE

Interest paid on debt for cash flow purposes during 1995, 1994, and 1993 was
$202,036, $203,103, and $204,937.  A $2,020,000 loan from York Associates to
the Partnership was used for the purchase of Emerald Court Apartments in
May, 1989.  The loan is secured by a deed of trust on the Emerald Court
Apartments.  At December 31, 1995, the carrying value of Emerald Court
Apartments was $2,825,149 ($3,562,946 cost basis of land, buildings and
improvements, and furniture and fixtures net of $737,797 accumulated
depreciation).  Principal and interest at 10.25% are payable on the note in 
monthly installments of $17,753 through June, 1999.  After that date, York
Associates holds a call option which, if exercised at that date, would require
a balloon payment of $1,916,363.  The scheduled principal payments on the note
on Emerald Court for $1,965,033 are as follows:  

       Year           1996      1997      1998         1999         Total
       __________________________________________________________________ 
       Amount      $12,181   $13,489   $14,938   $1,924,425    $1,965,033



5.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Partnership borrowed $35,500 on October 23, 1995 from an affiliate of the
General Partner.  This loan bears interest at the General Partner's bank
borrowing rate of prime plus 1.5% (10% as of December 31, 1995).  The loan 
proceeds provide funds for short term operating cash flow needs of the Seattle
project and enables the Partnership to maintain the distribution rate during 
the period of the lower operating cash flow.  The loan will be repaid with
proceeds from the sale of Oak Square Apartments. 

As described in the partnership agreement, affiliates of the general partners
receive compensation and fees with the management of the projects.  Such fees
totaled $37,350, $44,021, $34,085 for 1995, 1994 and 1993 respectively. 
In 1995, 1994, and 1993, these fees were paid to affiliates of the general
partner DBSI Housing Inc.  DBSI Realty Corporation, an affiliate of the
general partner DBSI Housing Inc., was reimbursed for payroll costs for on-site
managers for $58,404 in 1995, $61,061 in 1994 and $39,564 in 1993.
