PART I
Item 1 - Business.
The Registrant is a limited partnership formed under the laws of the state
of North Carolina on January 16, 1987. The General Partners of the Registrant
are Marion Bass Real Estate Group, Inc. (the Managing General Partner), a North
Carolina corporation, and Marion F. Bass (the Individual General Partner),
president, chief executive officer, and sole shareholder of the Managing General
Partner (collectively, the General Partners).
The Registrant commenced on May 6, 1987 an offering of two classes of
depositary units at a price of $100 per unit (the Units) representing the
beneficial assignment of income limited partnership interests (the Income Units)
and growth limited partnership interests (the Growth Units). The offering was
for a minimum of 43,520 Units up to a maximum of 309,750 Units, with the Income
Units representing 60% and the Growth Units representing 40% of the offering. A
minimum purchase of 50 Units (30 Income Units and 20 Growth Units) was required,
except for certain individual retirement account purchases, and additional
purchases were required to be in multiples of 50 Units.
The Registrant's initial investment objectives were (1) to preserve and
protect the capital of the holders of Income Units, (2) to provide cash
distributions to the holders of Income Units, (3) to return the full amount of
the capital contributions of the Unitholders with respect to Income Units from
the proceeds of mortgage financing on the properties to be acquired by the
Registrant within four to seven years from the commencement of the offering, and
(4) to obtain capital appreciation on the capital contributions of the
Unitholders with respect to Growth Units. In December 1989, cash distributions
were made to holders of the Income Units in the full amount of the capital
contributions for those Units and the Income Units were redeemed. Since that
distribution to holders of Income Units, the distributions by the Registrant
have been made to the holders of the Growth Units.
On August 7, 1987, the Registrant acquired from the Managing General Partner
6.2 acres of undeveloped land zoned for 80 multifamily units located on Arrowood
Road in southern Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (the Arrowood Property) for
a purchase price of $375,102. The Registrant entered into a construction
contract with Marion Bass Construction Company, a corporation wholly owned by
the Individual General Partner, (Bass Construction) for the construction of an
80 unit residential apartment complex, consisting of 32 one bedroom units, 40
two bedroom units and 8 three bedroom units. The cost of construction of
$2,880,000 was financed by the proceeds of the offering derived from the initial
closing which occurred on August 7, 1987. At that closing, the Registrant
received $3,829,760 in net proceeds after deduction of
2
<PAGE>
$435,200 in sales commissions and offering supervisory fees paid to Marion Bass
Securities Corporation (MBSC) and of $87,040 paid to Marion Bass Equity Group
(MBEG) in reimbursement for syndication and offering expenses.
On January 26, 1988, the Registrant acquired from the Managing General
Partner 12 acres of undeveloped land zoned for multifamily use located on
Dickerson Boulevard in Union County, North Carolina near Monroe, North Carolina
(the Monroe Property) for a purchase price of $364,964, the appraised value plus
certain carrying charges incurred by the Managing General Partner. The
Registrant entered into a construction contract with Bass Construction for the
construction of an 120 unit residential apartment complex, consisting of 40
one-bedroom units, 64 two-bedroom units and 16 three-bedroom units. The costs of
acquisition and construction of $4,014,000 were financed by the proceeds of the
offering derived from the second closing which occurred on January 26, 1988. At
that closing, the Registrant received $5,174,400 in net proceeds after deduction
of $588,000 paid to MBSC for sales commissions and offering supervisory fees and
of $117,600 paid to MBEG in reimbursement for syndication and offering expenses.
On May 5, 1988, the offering was amended to disclose the Registrant's
decision not to construct the Mallard Creek Project, to divide the Sabal Park
project into two separate phases, and to extend the offering beyond May 6, 1988.
The Registrant extended the offering period beyond the original expiration date
of May 6, 1988 to December 31, 1988 to permit MBSC additional time to soli- cit
subscriptions for the amount of the offering necessary to fund the construction
of Phase I and Phase II of Sabal Park. At the original expiration date, the
Registrant had subscriptions for an additional 3642 Income Units and 2428 Growth
Units, representing $607,000 in capital contributions, but said amount was
refunded to subscribers because confirmations to subscribe to the offering as
extended were not received prior to the original expiration date.
On October 6, 1988, the Registrant acquired from an affiliate of the
Managing General Partner 9 acres of undeveloped land located on U. S. Highway
521 in southern Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (formerly, the Sabal Park I
property, now known as Sabal Point II) for a cost of $462,992. The Sabal Point
II property is adjacent to a luxury apartment community owned by Bass Real
Estate Fund-II and known as Sabal Point I. The Registrant entered into a
construction contract with Bass Construction for the construction of an 88 unit
residential apartment complex, consisting of 48 two bedroom units and 40 three
bedroom units. The costs of acquisition and construction totalling $3,470,339
was financed by the proceeds of the offering derived from the third closing
which occurred on October 6, 1988. At the closing, the Registrant received
$4,620,000 in net proceeds after deduction of $525,000 paid to MBSC for sales
commissions and offering supervisory fees and of $105,000 paid to MBEG in
reimbursement for syndication and offering

<PAGE>
expenses. In August of 1989, the Registrant entered into a construction contract
with Bass Construction for the construction of a swimming pool and clubhouse.
The construction of the clubhouse and pool was completed in April, 1990, for
$275,000.
On December 31, 1988, the offering expired without sufficient subscriptions
to fund the acquisition and development of the fourth designated property.
Aggregate subscriptions held in escrow since the third closing of $88,000 were
refunded and the offering was terminated.
Approximately 13% ($2,119,320) of the aggregate capital contributions of the
Unitholders were placed in a reserve maintained by the Registrant to meet costs
and expenses of operations and to pay the preferential return to Unitholders
with respect to their Income Units to the extent that operating revenues less
operating expenses was insufficient to pay the return. As of December 28, 1989,
$610,606 had been used to make preferential returns to Unitholders with respect
to Income Units combined with $1,502,078 of cash provided from operations.
On December 27, 1989, The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company of
Houston, Texas made permanent loans to the Registrant collateralized by the
Registrant's properties as follows:
Arrowood Crossing Apartments $2,625,000
The Chase Apartments $3,100,000
Sabal Point II Apartments $3,565,000
----------
$9,290,000
The permanent loans have ten-year terms with interest accruing at 9.5% per
annum. Accrued interest is payable monthly, and installments of principal
payable monthly commenced March 1, 1992 based upon a thirty-year amortization
schedule. The remaining principal and all unpaid and accrued interest will be
due and payable on January 1, 2000. After closing costs relating to the
permanent loans, $9,206,007 was paid to the Registrant. The Registrant used the
financing proceeds together with reserves to return the full amount of the
capital contributions of the Unitholders with respect to Income Units totalling
$9,289,200. A 12.5% preferential return on the Income Units from July 1, 1989
through the redemption date of December 28, 1989 was paid concurrently.
Upon the sale of any property by the Registrant, the proceeds of the sale
will be distributed to the partners. Therefore, it is intended that the
Registrant will be self-liquidating. The General Partners currently intend to
dispose of all properties purchased within twelve to fifteen years of the
purchase.

<PAGE>
Competition among owners of apartment complexes of the type and in the
areas that the Registrant owns apartment complexes generally is high.
Competition is based generally on price and features offered. Many of the
Registrant's competitors have greater assets and more experience than the
Registrant and the General Partners.
One or both of the General Partners serve as a general partner in eight
private partnerships which own various income-producing, multi-family
residential property. None of the private partnerships sponsored by the General
Partners currently contemplates the acquisition of additional properties. The
General Partners sponsored three public real estate partnerships, Bass Real
Estate Fund-84, Bass Real Estate Fund-II and Bass Real Estate Fund-III, with
similar investment objectives as the Registrant. Conflicts could develop between
the Registrant and other existing or future partnerships which the General
Partners may manage. The General Partners intend to devote only such time to the
business of the Registrant as in their judgment is reasonably required. The
General Partners are engaged in other similar activities which also require
their time and attention.
Two of the Registrant's properties, Arrowood Crossing and Sabal Point
II, adjoin apartment complexes owned by Bass Real Estate Fund-III and Bass Real
Estate Fund-II. In order to achieve greater economies of scale, Marion Bass
Properties, Inc., the property manager for the Registrant and the other owners,
has combined the management and leasing operations for all of the adjoining
complexes. Under this arrangement, the expenses are allocated on a per unit
basis except for those costs that can be directly attributed to a single
complex. When leasing units, the property manager shows available units in
different complexes and the tenant chooses the unit that he desires. The
occupancy on December 31, 1996 for Arrowood Crossing was 92% and the adjoining
complex was 97%. The occupancy on December 31, 1996 for Sabal Point II was 98%
and the adjoining complexes were 95% and 91%.
As of December 31, 1996, the Registrant did not directly employ any persons
in a full-time position. Certain employees of the Managing General Partner and
affiliates performed services for the Registrant during the year.

Item 3 - Legal Proceedings.
No legal proceedings were initiated or terminated during the fiscal year
covered by this report.
Item 4 - Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
No matters were submitted to a vote of the holders of Units during the
fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.
Item 5 - Market for Registrant's Units of Limited Partnership and
Related Matters.
Transfer of limited partnership interests of the Registrant is subject to
certain restrictions in the limited partnership agreement of the Registrant.
Depositary receipts for the Units have been issued in registered form. Beginning
May 1, 1989, the depositary receipts became freely transferable subject to
applicable federal or state securities laws, unless the Managing General Partner
imposes transfer restrictions in order to preserve the status of the Registrant
as a partnership for federal income tax purposes or to ensure that Unitholders
will be treated as limited partners of the Registrant for federal income tax
purposes. Transfers of depositary receipts are effective on the first day of the
month following receipt by the Registrant of all necessary documentation for the
transfer, provided such documents are received at least 5 business days prior to
the beginning of such month. Since May 1, 1989, 600 Income Units and 440 Growth
Units have been sold by 3 Unitholders at a price of $97 per Income Unit and $97
per Growth Unit.
On December 28, 1989, the Registrant redeemed the Income Units and returned
the full amount of the capital contributions of the Unitholders with respect to
Income Units from the proceeds of mortgage financing on the properties.
As of December 31, 1996, 61,928 Growth Units were outstanding, held of
record by 1,106 persons.

<PAGE>
The limited partnership agreement of the Registrant requires that operating
revenue less operating expenses (Cash Flow) be distributed on at least a
semi-annual basis within 30 days of June 30 and December 31 of each year. Cash
Flow is to be distributed pro rata among the Unitholders in accordance with
their percentage interest as follows:
(a) First, 100% to Unitholders who hold Income Units until such Unitholders
have received an amount equal to the preferential return on Income Units;
(b) Then, 100% to Unitholders who hold Income Units until such Unitholders
have received an amount equal to their adjusted capital contributions with
respect to their Income Units; and
(c) Then, any remaining Cash Flow shall be distributed to Unitholders
holding Growth Units.
Since the Income Units were redeemed on December 28, 1989, future
distributions will be made to Unitholders holding Growth Units. The Registrant
made the following distributions to Unitholders who held Units on the record
date for such distribution:

The distribution to Growth Unitholders as of December 31, 1995 was declared by
the General Partners in February, 1996 was paid primarily from cash reserves in
April, 1996. Future distributions may include amounts held as reserves, that
amounted to approximately $654,810 as of December 31, 1996. However, once those
reserves are distributed to limited partners, future distributions will be made
only out of net cash flow.

Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
General.
The Registrant was organized on January 16, 1987 for the purpose of
developing, operating, holding and disposing of one to four specified
multi-family residential properties. In August, 1987, the Registrant purchased
6.2 acres of undeveloped land for development of 80 multi-family units for a
price of $375,102. The capitalized cost of construction amounted to $2,895,303.
In January, 1988 the Registrant purchased 12 acres of undeveloped land for
development of 120 multi-family units for a price of $367,906. The capitalized
cost of construction amounted to $4,035,851. In October, 1988 the Registrant
purchased 9 acres of undeveloped land for development of 88 multi-family units
for a price of $462,992. The capitalized cost of construction amounted to
$3,470,339.
9
<PAGE>
The Registrant was capitalized with Limited Partner contributions of
$9,289,200 representing Income Units and $6,192,800 representing Growth Units
and General Partner contributions of $1,200. During the capital formation and
construction periods, the Registrant temporarily invested funds in short-term
commercial paper, government securities, repurchase agreements and bank money
market funds. On December 28, 1989 the full amount of capital contributions
representing Income Units was redeemed with the proceeds of mortgage financing
on the Registrant's properties. The loans represent approximately 80% leverage
on the aggregate capitalized cost of $11,557,173.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
At December 31, 1996, partners' equity was $378,543 or 4% of total
assets and liquid assets amounted to $654,810. The decrease in cash of $72,350
was due to a net cash flow from operations of $474,084 less capital replacements
of $62,761, mortgage debt reduction of $83,673 and a distribution to partners of
$400,000. The Registrant had accrued liabilities of $26,052 which consisted of
management fees due to an affiliate of $8,852, trade account payables of $16,321
and tenant prepaid rent of $879.
Net cash flow from operations before property additions, payments on
mortgage principal, and distributions to partners totaled $474,084 in 1996,
$384,168 in 1995, and $233,130 in 1994. The Registrant had three 9.5% amortizing
mortgage notes in the amount of $8,940,661 outstanding at December 31, 1996.
Principal payments of $83,673, $76,119 and $74,726 were made in 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively.
During 1996 the Charlotte market continued to witness increased
activity in the construction of multi-family residential apartment complexes.
With the addition of these new units, some properties have begun offering rental
concessions or other discounts to obtain tenants. Should this trend affect the
Registrant's operations during 1997, then certain marketing strategies will be
implemented in order to minimize any potential reduction in occupancy.
The 1997 operating plan and budget projects cash flow from operations
of $42,000 at Arrowood Crossing, $220,000 at The Chase and $135,000 at Sabal
Point II. The budget assumes that the Registrant will achieve occupancy rates
equivalent to 95% at Arrowood Crossing, 98% at The Chase and 95% at Sabal Point
II. Rents have been increased 3% over rates charged in 1996 to offset normal
increases in operating expenses. Capital replacements of $74,000, $30,000 and
$32,000 are budgeted for Arrowood Crossing, The Chase and Sabal Point II,
respectively. Based upon these estimates, the Registrant believes that each cash
flow from operations will be sufficient to meet cash requirements and provide
distributions to limited partners.

<PAGE>
Results of Operations.
The results from operations for the year 1996 reflect an increase in
total revenues of $119,633 due to maintaining a combined average occupancy of
98% and increasing rents an average of 3% to 5%. Rental income was $2,076,656 in
1996 compared to $1,970,005 in 1995, a difference of $106,651. Other operating
income was $90,466 in 1996 compared to $95,444, in 1995, reflecting a decrease
of $4,978. Operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization)
increased $48,275. The increase of $13,019 in fees and expenses to affiliates
was due to management fees based on total revenues collected and higher costs
associated with on-site personnel. Property taxes and insurance were higher in
1996 by $5,522 due to rate increases. Utilities increased $7,615 due to higher
utility rates and resident usage. Repairs and maintenance increased $25,946 due
to the scheduled replacement of carpeting and appliances and painting the
exterior of The Chase Apartments. Advertising was higher by $4,075 and included
the purchase of brochures, magazine ads and tenant concessions. Other expenses
decreased $7,902 which included general administrative costs and tenant bad
debts.
After interest expense of $853,731 and other nonoperating expenses of
$52,207 the Registrant realized net income of $45,505. This is compared to
net losses of $25,183 and $164,732 in 1995 and 1994, respectively. Before
recognizing the expense of depreciation and amortization, the 1996 operating
plan and budget had forecasted and combined net income of $410,000. This is
compared to an actual net income before depreciation and amortization of
$488,403.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Bass Income Plus Fund Limited Partnership:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Bass Income Plus Fund Limited
Partnership (a North Carolina limited partnership) as of December 31, 1996 and
1995, and the related statements of operations, changes in partners' equity
(deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1996. These financial statements and the schedule referred to below
are the responsibility of the managing general partner (see Note 4). Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedule 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 the
managing general partner, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Bass Income Plus Fund Limited
Partnership as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in Appendix A is
presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and is not a required part of the basic financial statements.
This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our
audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in
all material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

BASS INCOME PLUS FUND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Bass Income Plus Fund Limited Partnership (the Partnership) was organized to
engage in the acquisition of specified parcels of undeveloped real estate and to
construct, develop, operate, hold and dispose of income-producing, multifamily
residential apartment complexes. At formation, the limited partnership interests
consisted of two classes of units, income units and growth units. Each
investment in limited partnership interests consisted of 60% income units and
40% growth units. Limited partnership interests were sold at $100 per unit for a
total of $15,482,000. During December 1989, the Partnership obtained mortgage
financing (see Note 2) on the rental properties. The proceeds from the mortgage
financing were used to return the full amount of the capital contributions of
the income unit holders for a total distribution of $9,289,200.
Under the terms of the partnership agreement, net income (loss) is to be
allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the general partners. Cash
distributions from operations are to be distributed 100% to the limited
partners. Upon the sale or refinance of the partnership properties, the
partnership agreement specifies certain allocations of net proceeds and taxable
gain or loss from the transaction.
CASH INVESTMENTS
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Partnership considers all
unrestricted, highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash investments.
DEFERRED COSTS
Expenses incurred in connection with the organization of the Partnership and
obtaining financing have been capitalized as deferred costs. Deferred financing
costs are being amortized over the terms of the loans. Organization costs were
amortized using the straight-line method over five years. Amortization of
organization costs and deferred financing costs is included in depreciation and
amortization expense on the accompanying statements of operations.
DEPRECIATION
The cost of rental properties is depreciated using the straight-line method over
the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings 30 years
Furnishings and fixtures 8 years
<PAGE>
2
RENTAL PROPERTIES
Rental properties are carried at cost, which includes the initial land price as
well as development costs (see Note 3).
INCOME TAXES
Under current income tax laws, income or loss of partnerships is included in the
income tax returns of the partners. Accordingly, no provision has been made for
federal or state income taxes in the accompanying financial statements.
The tax returns of the Partnership are subject to examination by federal and
state taxing authorities. If such examinations occur and result in changes with
respect to the partnership qualification or in changes to partnership income or
loss, the tax liability of the partners would be changed accordingly.
Adjustments are required to reflect the Partnership's accounts on the basis of
accounting utilized for federal income tax reporting purposes. The significant
items giving rise to the adjustments are differing lives and methods of
depreciation and costs incurred in connection with raising of capital
(syndication costs).
The reconciliation of net income for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994, from a financial reporting to a tax basis are as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

Net income (loss) - Tax basis ======== ======== =========
$44,323 $(26,482) $(159,681)
</TABLE>
PER UNIT AMOUNTS
Net income per limited partnership unit was determined based on the weighted
average number of units outstanding during the period. The weighted average
units outstanding was 61,928 for 1996, 1995 and 1994.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
During 1996, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." This statement establishes accounting
standards for the impairment of long-lived assets. Under the provisions of SFAS
No. 121, recoverability of long-lived assets is to be determined based on
expected future net cash flows resulting from the use of the asset. The adoption
of this new accounting pronouncement did not have an impact on the Partnership's
financial position or the results of its operations.
<PAGE>
3
USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements. These estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the period reported. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
2. MORTGAGE LOANS PAYABLE:
The Partnership has three mortgage loans payable to a financial institution
secured by three rental properties. Principal and interest are due monthly in
payments totaling $78,117, with the remaining principal and any accrued interest
due upon maturity in January 2000. Under the mortgage agreement, the Partnership
is required to fund certain reserves for insurance, property taxes and capital
improvement expenditures. These reserves are included in other assets on the
accompanying balance sheets.
Future principal payments due on the mortgage loans are as follows:
1997 $ 83,977
1998 100,311
1999 110,267
2000 8,646,106
Cash paid for interest was $853,730 in 1996, $861,285 in 1995 and $940,794 in
1994.
3. RENTAL PROPERTIES:
The rental properties consist of three residential apartment complexes; Arrowood
Crossing, The Chase and Sabal Point II. All were constructed by an affiliate of
the general partners and contain 80, 120 and 88 rental units, respectively. The
Chase, Sabal Point II and Arrowood Crossing are located on three plots of land
purchased in 1988 from the managing general partner or an affiliate of the
general partners.
Affiliates of the general partners own residential apartment complexes adjacent
to Arrowood Crossing and Sabal Point II. These complexes are sharing expenses
related to grounds, maintenance, leasing, management and other related costs.
The managing general partner believes that the allocation of expenses to each
partnership has been made on a reasonable basis.

4. GENERAL PARTNERS AND RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
The Partnership's general partners are Marion F. Bass and Marion Bass Real
Estate Group, Inc. (the managing general partner). The rental properties are
managed by Marion Bass Properties, Inc. Both Marion Bass Real Estate Group, Inc.
and Marion Bass Properties, Inc. are wholly owned by Marion F. Bass.
Under the terms of the partnership agreement, the general partners or their
affiliates charged certain fees and expenses during 1996, 1995 and 1994 as
follows:

each year for the use of its pool and clubhouse located on the Partnership's
property at Sabal Point II. The Partnership has recorded as other operating
income $13,630 in 1996, $12,740 in 1995 and $11,850 in 1994, under the terms of
this agreement.
