1.       The Partnership

         Dean Witter Realty Yield Plus, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited
         partnership organized under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1987. 
         The Managing General Partner of the Partnership is Dean Witter Realty
         Yield Plus Inc., which is wholly-owned by Dean Witter Realty Inc.
         ("Realty").

         The financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership, DW
         Columbia Gateway Associates, DW Michelson Associates, DW Lakeshore
         Associates (formerly Lakeshore Ontario Associates), Deptford Crossing
         Associates (effective July 16, 1993), Hampton Crossing Associates
         (effective September 7, 1993), and DW Community Centers Limited
         Partnership and DW Maplewood Inc. (effective April 4, 1994) on a
         consolidated basis.  All significant intercompany accounts and
         transactions have been eliminated.

         The Partnership's records are maintained on the accrual basis of
         accounting for financial reporting and tax reporting purposes.

         Real estate acquired in settlement of loans is recorded at the lower
         of the book value of the investment or estimated fair value at the date
         of foreclosure or in-substance foreclosure.  The Partnership
         periodically evaluates the recoverability of the net carrying value of
         its real estate and investments in participating mortgages and other
         secured loans.  The evaluation is based on a review of expected future
         cash flows, determination  of the Partnership's expected holding period
         of these assets, the financial condition of guarantors, if any, and
         other factors.  
         The net income per Unit amounts are calculated by dividing net income
         allocated to Limited Partners in accordance with the Partnership
         Agreement, by the weighted average number of units outstanding.

         In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements,
         which have not been audited, reflect all adjustments necessary to
         present fairly the results for the interim periods.

2.       Investments in Real Estate

         401 East Ontario Street, Chicago, Illinois
         
         The Partnership had funded an approximately $47,000,000 leasehold
         mortgage loan, land purchase and participating land lease for 401 East
         Ontario Street, a high  rise  luxury   apartment   building.  The

         property was developed and owned by Lakeshore Ontario Associates, a
         50/50 joint venture between a Chicago developer ("Chicago Developer")
         and an entity comprised of former and current Realty employees, several
         of whom are former or current officers of the Managing General Partner.
         The Partnership received a completion guaranty and a $6,000,000
         operating deficits guaranty from the borrower land/lessee.  One half
         of these guarantees was the obligation of Realty and the other half was
         the obligation of the principals of the Chicago Developer.  Realty
         funded all of the additional construction costs paid to date
         (approximately $2,300,000) and has fully funded its obligation under
         the operating deficits guaranty of $4,509,212 as of December 31, 1993. 
         During the first quarter of 1993, Realty paid the Partnership $379,392
         pursuant to its guaranty obligations. 

         Beginning in March 1992, the Chicago Developer failed to fund deficits
         it guaranteed, plus accrued interest on the unpaid balance which was
         reserved in full. This resulted in a default on its loan.  For
         financial reporting purposes, the Partnership placed this loan on non-
         accrual status in July 1992.  As of December 31, 1992, the Partnership
         accounted for this loan as if the property were foreclosed upon, wrote
         down the loan to its estimated fair value, and reclassified the loan
         to real estate.

         In January 1994, the borrower transferred to the Partnership the ground
         lease and ownership of the improvements by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure
         In addition, the Chicago Developer paid the Partnership $350,000 in
         exchange for the Partnership's release of the principals of the Chicago
         Developer from any continuing liability under their deficit guaranty.

         Deptford Crossing, Deptford, New Jersey

         In March 1991, the Partnership made a $7.5 million participating loan
         secured by partnership interests on Deptford Crossing, a community
         shopping center.  However, the borrower of the project failed to make
         the required debt service payments to the Partnership since May 1992. 
         As of December 31, 1992, the Partnership accounted for this loan as if
         the property was foreclosed upon, wrote down the loan to its estimated
         fair value, and reclassified the loan to real estate.  

         In July 1993, the interests in the owner of the Deptford Crossing
         project were transferred to the Partnership in lieu of foreclosure.  

         The Partnership provided a $5.4 million letter of credit, secured by
         the Partnership's cash reserves, to the first mortgage lender to secure
         repayment.  During the third quarter of 1993, the bank allowed the
         Partnership to use $400,000 of its cash reserves for tenant

         improvements at the property.  At the same time, the bank reduced the
         letter of credit from $5.4 million to $5 million.  The  letter  of 
         credit  will be  reduced  further to $3 million if the property
         achieves a debt service coverage ratio of 125% on the first mortgage
         for twelve consecutive months.

         Hampton Village Centre, Rochester Hills, Michigan

         The Partnership's borrower had obtained a first mortgage loan of
         $29,000,000, secured by Phase I of the property, from a major insurance
         company.  

         In addition, the Partnership made the following loans to Hampton
         Village Centre: a) a $3,000,000 second mortgage loan, secured by Phases
         I, II and III of the center, b) an $8,000,000 construction loan secured
         by a mortgage on Phases II and III of the center, and c) a $2,318,523
         construction loan secured by a junior mortgage on Phases II and III of
         the center.  In addition to its right to repayment of these loans, the
         Partnership was also entitled to a 50% participation in the property's
         excess cash flow and appreciation over $40,000,000.

         Debt service payments on the first mortgage loan and the Partnership's
         $3,000,000 second mortgage loan were current.  However, the
         Partnership's other two loans were in default and were placed on non-
         accrual status in 1992.

         During the first quarter of 1993, the Partnership accelerated all of
         its loans and instituted foreclosure proceedings.  In September 1993,
         the Partnership indirectly acquired one-half of the partnership
         interests of Hampton Crossing Associates, the owner of Hampton Village
         Centre, thereby obtaining effective control of the center, and began
         accounting for the loans as if the property were owned, by
         reclassifying the loans to real estate and recording the $29,000,000
         first mortgage loan.  During the first quarter of 1994, the Partnership
         indirectly acquired all of the partnership interests of Hampton
         Crossing Associates not previously owned by it.

         Contractors who worked on the property have brought claims of about
         $2,000,000 against the borrower and have filed liens against the
         property; the Partnership is contesting these claims and expects to
         settle them for less than their face amounts.

         Shopping Centers Investments, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee

         In 1990, the Partnership loaned $6,000,000 to the partners of the
         developer of eleven community shopping centers and the Hampton Crossing
         and Deptford Crossing properties.  The loan was secured by interests
         in eleven partnerships which owned the eleven community shopping
         centers, and was due in August 1991.  During the second quarter of
         1991, through the sale of three of the shopping centers, the
         Partnership received a payment of $1,588,000, but received no further
         payments.  The Partnership stopped accruing interest on the loan in
         August 1991, and established an allowance of $4,664,471 against it at
         December 31, 1992.

         In the first quarter of 1993, the Partnership instituted legal
         proceedings to collect on  the note and to foreclose on the remaining
         collateral partnership interests.  The properties owned by the
         partnerships in which the Partnership had a collateral interest were
         all encumbered by mortgages; during the first six months of 1994, the
         mortgagees foreclosed on four of the properties. 

         In April 1994, the Partnership obtained sole control of the
         partnerships which own three of the remaining community shopping
         centers (aggregating 321,000 square feet) and joint control of the
         partnership which owns the fourth (84,000 square feet).  At that date,
         the Partnership consolidated the partnerships and recorded their assets
         and liabilities at estimated fair values.  

         The mortgage notes payable on the acquired shopping centers were as
         follows at June 30, 1994:
         
         Mortgage note secured by Midway Crossing                   $8,316,267
         Shopping Center:  interest at 9.5%; matures
         October 1, 1997; principal and interest of 
         $74,114 payable monthly through maturity.

         Mortgage note secured by an outparcel at the                  438,431
         Midway Crossing Shopping Center: interest
         at 10.5%; matures October 1, 1997; principal and 
         interest of $4,160 payable monthly through maturity.

         Mortgage notes secured by Genesee Crossing Shopping         8,590,000
         Center:  interest-only payable monthly at 9.375%; mature 
         May 15, 1997. 
         
         Mortgage note secured by Farmington Crossroads               4,103,619
         Shopping Center:  interest at 7.875%; matures September
         1, 1999; principal and interest of $32,338 is payable
         monthly through maturity.                                             

         Mortgage note secured by Hickory Ridge                       4,150,000
         Crossing Shopping Center:  interest accrues
         at 12.375% per annum and interest-only is
         payable monthly at 10 1/2% per annum through
         maturity; matured June 30, 1994.

     The mortgage loan on the Hickory Ridge Crossing shopping center, which
     matured on June 30, 1994, was not repaid and is therefore in default. 
     The Partnership expects that the property will be lost through
     foreclosure during the third quarter of 1994.  The loss of this
     property is not expected to result in a material negative impact to the
     Partnership.  The other three shopping centers are expected to generate
     positive cash flow from operations.

3.   Investment in Participating Mortgage Loan

     One Congress Street, Boston, Massachusetts

     The property consists of a nine-story parking garage,  two office levels
     above the garage, and ground level retail space.  The Partnership has
     funded approximately $32,876,000 of its $34,350,000 commitment.  Base
     interest is payable currently at 8%.  

     The garage is fully leased under an agreement which expires in 2003.  The
     retail space is approximately 61% occupied.  The office space is 100%
     leased to a federal agency, the General Services Administration ("GSA")
     under a lease that is cancellable by the GSA in 1995 and terminates in
     1997.  Not later than August 1994, the GSA will be entitled to free rent
     for five months in connection with GSA's financing of tenant improvements
     for its premises, which might adversely affect the borrower's ability to
     pay debt service on the Partnership's loan.  The borrower has made a claim
     against GSA of approximately $3.3 million for the costs incurred in
     connection with the GSA tenant improvements.  This amount, if collected,
     would be sufficient to pay debt service on the Partnership's loan, as well
     as projected operating costs, during the free rent period.  GSA has
     responded to the borrower's claim by disputing the amount claimed in
     connection with the tenant improvements.  The borrower and GSA are
     continuing negotiations to resolve this matter.

4.   Related Party Transactions

     An affiliate of Realty provided property management services for four
     properties for the six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 (five
     properties for the three months ended June 30, 1994).  The Partnership
     paid the affiliate management fees of $163,795 and $71,566 for the six
     months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

     An affiliate of Realty performs administrative functions, processes
     certain investor transactions and prepares tax information for the
     Partnership.  For the six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, the
     Partnership incurred approximately $219,000 each period for these
     services.

                                                 (Unaudited)


         The Partnership borrowed funds from an affiliate of Realty.  Interest
         expense, which was calculated at the prime rate, amounted to $56,016
         and $51,078 for the six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993,
         respectively.  As of June 30, 1994 and 1993, the amounts due to the
         affiliate were $1,714,519 and $1,123,105, respectively.

5.       Subsequent Event

         On July 28, 1994, the Partnership paid a cash distribution of $.15 per
         Unit to Limited Partners.  The cash distribution aggregated $1,484,994
         with $1,336,495 distributed to Limited Partners and $148,499
         distributed to the General Partners.

          Results of Operations               

Liquidity and Capital Resources              

The Partnership raised $178,199,380 through a public offering which
terminated in 1987.  The Partnership has no plans to raise additional
capital.

The Partnership has committed the proceeds raised in the offering to seven
investments.  

Most real estate markets are stabilizing or gradually improving.  No dramatic
turnarounds are forecast for the second half of 1994.  Continued absence of
significant construction activity is the primary reason for market
improvement.  Retail markets have been favorably affected by consumption
growth.  Office properties are still not in demand but the suburban office
market appears to be strengthening as prices are well below replacement
costs.  

Real estate markets are generally divided into sub-markets by geographic
locations and property type.  Not all sub-markets have been affected equally
by the above factors.

The Partnership's original investments were mortgage loans or land leases,
which provided for a fixed current return and participation in the long-term
appreciation and/or revenue from operation of the properties involved in such
investments.  Due to the weakness in real estate markets, most of the
properties did not generate sufficient cash flow to fully service their debt. 
As a result, through June 30, 1994, the Partnership acquired, through
foreclosure, or through transfers of ownership interests in lieu of
foreclosure, all but one of the properties in which it originally invested. 
The resulting foreclosures have effectively changed the Partnership from a
participating lender to an equity owner of real estate.  While the benefits
to Limited Partners were expected to come from interest and a participation
in the increases in cash flow and appreciation of the properties, after
foreclosure, the Partnership receives all cash flow from the properties,
which is currently less than the interest that was required to have been paid
on the debt.  In addition, the Partnership will now be required  to expend
funds for tenant improvements and leasing commissions in connection with the
leasing of vacant space as is customary in most real estate markets.

During the first six months of 1994, Partnership cash flow from operations
exceeded distributions to investors and capital expenditures.  The
Partnership expects that such cash flows for the remainder of 1994 will be
sufficient to fully fund capital expenditures and cash distributions.

During the first two quarters of 1994, the Partnership incurred approximately
$1.5 million for tenant improvements, leasing commissions and building
improvements at 2600 Michelson Drive.  The minority interest contributed
approximately $730,000 for its share of these improvements. 

In January 1993,  the Partnership established a $3 million secured line of
credit with a bank, against which it has borrowed $894,596 and $1,062,333 as
at June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  Borrowings bear interest, payable 
monthly, at the prime rate plus three quarters percent, and are repayable in
nineteen consecutive payments beginning March 30, 1994.  The prime rate at
June 30, 1994 was 7.25%.

On July 28, 1994, the Partnership paid a cash distribution of $.15 per Unit
to Limited Partners.  Total cash distributed was $1,484,994 with $1,336,495
distributed to Limited Partners and $148,499 to the General Partners.

Operations

Fluctuations in the Partnership's operating results for the three and six-
month periods ended June 30, 1994 compared to the comparable periods in 1993
are primarily attributable to the following:

The increases in rental income, property operating expenses and depreciation
primarily result from recording property operations for Deptford Crossing
beginning in July 1993, Hampton Village Centre beginning in September 1993
and the community shopping centers beginning in April 1994, due to the
reclassification of these investments to real estate from investments in
participating mortgage loans and other secured loans.  

The decreases in interest income from participating mortgage loans and other
secured loans primarily result from reclassifying Hampton Village Center to
real estate from investments in participating mortgage loans.  

The increase in other income primarily represents cash received in the second
quarter of 1994 from the partnerships which owned four community shopping
centers that were foreclosed upon by their respective first mortgage lenders.


The increases in interest expense represent interest on the Hampton Village
Centre, Deptford Crossing and community shopping centers first mortgage loans
which the Partnership began to record when it obtained ownership of these
properties.

The decreases in general and administrative expense primarily result from
decreased legal fees incurred in connection with foreclosures and
restructurings. 
The decreases in minority interest result from lower rental income as a
result of lower rents in 1994 as compared to 1993 at 2600 Michelson Drive.

A summary of the office, retail, residential and research and development
building markets where the Partnership's properties are located and the
performance of each property is as follows:

Greenway Pointe, located in Columbia, Maryland has been affected by an
oversupply of research and development buildings in its market area.  Current
vacancy levelsin the Columbia research and development market are approximately
18%. During the second quarter of 1994, occupancy at the property remained at
approximately 82%.
 
401 East Ontario Street is located in an improved residential sub-market in
Chicago, Illinois due to no new construction since 1991 and recent condo
conversions of competing area properties.  The market vacancy rate is
approximately 5%. During the second quarter of 1994, occupancy at the
property increased to 92% from 89%.  
    
The office market in Irvine, California, the location of 2600 Michelson Drive
is very weak due to the economic downturn in the aerospace, defense, and
construction industries.  This results in higher vacancy rates and lower
rental rates when space is leased to new tenants or re-leased to existing
tenants.  During the second quarter of 1994, occupancy at the property
decreased to 84% from 89%.

Deptford Crossing located in Deptford, New Jersey has been affected by a
combination of the recession in real estate and retailer reluctance to
expand, which has exerted downward pressure on rents and has made further
leasing difficult.  Occupancy at the property remained at 83% during the
second quarter of 1994. In contrast, Rochester Hills, Michigan, the location
of Hampton Village Centre, has remained a relatively stable and strong retail
market.  Occupancy at the property decreased slightly from 96% to 94% during
the second quarter of 1994. 

The office space at One Congress Street located in Boston, Massachusetts has
not been affected by the weakness in the Boston economy.  However, the GSA
lease is cancellable in 1995 and terminates in 1997.  Additionally, the
retail space, which is a small portion of the property, has been difficult
to lease-up due to reduced demand for retail space.  During the second
quarter of 1994, the occupancy at the office space and garage space remained
at 100%.  However, occupancy at the retail space increased to 61% from 49%.

Flint, Michigan, the location of the Genesee Crossing Shopping Center
(acquired in the second quarter of 1994), is an active retail market with a
relatively low vacancy rate.  As of June 30, 1994, the property was 99%
leased.

Memphis, Tennessee, the location of the Hickory Ridge Crossing shopping
center (acquired in the second quarter of 1994) is a stable retail market
with little new construction.  As of June 30, 1994, occupancy at the property
was 93%.

Elyria, Ohio, the location of the Midway Crossing shopping center (acquired
in the second quarter of 1994) is a relatively stable retail market, with
little vacancy in the vicinity.  The property is located across the street
from a successful regional mall.  As of June 30, 1994, the property was 100%
leased.  

Farmington Crossroads shopping center (acquired in the second quarter of
1994) is located in the affluent suburban community of Farmington, Michigan. 
Farmington's retail market has a relatively low vacancy rate.  As of June 30,
1994, occupancy at the property was 93%.

Inflation

Inflation has been consistently low during the periods presented in the
financial statements and, as a result, has not had a significant effect on
the operations of the Partnership or its properties.
