                       (An Illinois Limited Partnership)

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Accounting Policy:

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation
have been made to the accompanying statements for the nine months and quarter
ended September 30, 1997, and all such adjustments are of a normal and
recurring nature.

2. Partnership Termination:

The Partnership Agreement provides for the dissolution of the Partnership upon
the occurrence of certain events, including the disposition of all interests in
real estate. The Partnership has entered into a contract to sell the Factory
Outlet Centre (the "Centre"). The timing of the termination of the Partnership
and final distribution of cash will depend upon the nature and extent of
liabilities and contingencies which exist or may arise. Such contingencies may
include legal and other fees stemming from litigation involving the Partnership
including, but not limited to, the lawsuit discussed in Note 6 of Notes to the
Financial Statements. In the absence of any contingency, the reserves will be
paid within twelve months of the Centre being sold. In the event a contingency
continues to exist or arises, reserves may be held by the Partnership for a
longer period of time.

3. Interest Expense:

During the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership
incurred and paid interest expense on the mortgage note payable of $941,642 and
$952,441, respectively.

4. Transactions with Affiliates:

Fees and expenses paid and payable by the Partnership to affiliates during the
nine months and quarter ended September 30, 1997 are:

                                           Paid
                                    ----------------------
                                    Nine Months    Quarter      Payable
                                    ------------  ---------    ----------

   Reimbursement of expenses to
     the General Partner, at cost   $47,519        $22,326     $38,191
                   
5. Investment Property Writedown:

During the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Partnership determined that an
impairment had occurred to the asset value of the Centre due to continued
competition in the market which has resulted in a decline in the value of the
property. Consequently, the property was written down to its estimated fair
value at June 30, 1997 and a $2,000,000 provision for investment property
writedown was recognized. In August 1997, the Partnership entered into a
<PAGE>
contract to sell the property for $17,000,000. In October 1997, the Partnership
and the purchaser agreed to a $2,000,000 purchase price reduction. The current
sales price is $15,000,000. As a result, the property was written down to the
current sales value less estimated closing costs and the Partnership recognized
an additional $1,000,000 provision for investment property writedown during the
quarter ended September 30, 1997.

6. Contingency:

The Partnership is currently involved in a lawsuit whereby the Partnership and
certain affiliates have been named as defendants alleging certain federal
securities law violations with regard to the adequacy and accuracy of
disclosures of information concerning, as well as the marketing efforts related
to, the offering of the Limited Partnership Interests of the Partnership. The
defendants continue to vigorously contest this action. A plaintiff class has
not yet been certified, and no determination of the merits have been made. It
is not determinable at this time whether or not an unfavorable decision in this
action would have a material adverse impact on the financial position,
operations and liquidity of the Partnership. The Partnership believes it has
meritorious defenses to contest the claims.

7. Subsequent Event:

In October 1997, the Partnership paid $165,900 to Limited Partners representing
the regular quarterly distribution of available Net Cash Receipts of $5.53 per
Interest for the third quarter of 1997.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Outlet Centre Partners (the "Partnership") was formed in 1987 and owns and
operates the Factory Outlet Centre (the "Centre") in Bristol, Wisconsin. The
Partnership raised $30,000,000 through the sale of Limited Partnership
Interests and utilized these proceeds to acquire the Centre. Currently, the
Partnership has entered into a contract for the sale of the Centre.

Inasmuch as the management's discussion and analysis below relates primarily to
the time period since the end of the last fiscal year, investors are encouraged
to review the financial statements and the management's discussion and analysis
contained in the annual report for 1996 for a more complete understanding of
the Partnership's financial position.

Operations
- ----------

Summary of Operations
- ---------------------

The recognition of provisions for investment property writedown during the
second and third quarter of 1997 resulted in a higher net loss during the nine
months and quarter ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the same periods in
1996. Higher property operating expenses also contributed to the higher net
loss during the nine months and quarter ended September 30, 1997 as compared to
the same periods in 1996. Further discussion of the operations of the
Partnership is summarized below.

1997 Compared to 1996
- ---------------------

Discussions of fluctuations between 1997 and 1996 refer to the nine months and
quarters ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.

The Partnership bills tenants on a monthly basis for common area maintenance
and real estate taxes based on estimates. Adjustments are periodically made to
these billings once the Partnership has determined the actual amounts due.
Service income increased during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 when
compared to the same period in 1996 due to higher billings related to common
area maintenance in 1997.

Interest income on short-term investments decreased during the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 when compared to the same period in 1996 due to lower
average cash balances.

Higher tenant related expenditures were incurred in 1997 resulting from
increased costs related to improvements required under the terms of new leases.
Additionally, parking lot and sidewalk repairs were completed in 1997. As a
result, property operating expense increased during 1997 when compared to 1996.

A provision is charged to income when the General Partner believes an
impairment has occurred to the value of the Centre. Determinations of fair
<PAGE>
value are made periodically based on the current estimated sales price less
closing costs and market conditions. During the quarters ended June 30, 1997
and September 30, 1997, the Partnership recognized a provision for investment
property writedown of $2,000,000 and $1,000,000, respectively, to provide for
changes in the estimate of the fair value of the Centre.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The cash position of the Partnership decreased approximately $204,000 as of
September 30, 1997 when compared to December 31, 1996, as a result of cash
reserves used to fund distributions to Limited Partners. The Partnership
generated cash flow of approximately $406,000 from its operating activities.
The operating activities reflect the operations of the Centre and interest
income earned on short-term investments, offset by the payment of
administrative expenses. The Partnership used cash to fund its financing
activities of approximately $610,000 which consisted of the payment of
distributions totaling approximately $498,000 to Limited Partners and the
payment of principal on the mortgage note payable of approximately $112,000. 

As of September 30, 1997, the occupancy rate at the Centre was 82%. During the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, the Centre generated positive
cash flow, which is defined as an amount equal to the property's revenue
receipts less property related expenses, which include debt service payments.
In August 1997, the Partnership entered into a contract to sell the Centre for
$17,000,000. In October 1997, the Partnership and the purchaser agreed to a
$2,000,000 purchase price reduction. The current sales price is $15,000,000.
The sale is expected to close in December 1997. See Item 5. Other Information
for additional information. The timing of the termination of the Partnership
and final distribution of cash will depend upon the nature and extent of
liabilities and contingencies which exist or may arise. Such contingencies may
include legal and other fees and costs stemming from litigation involving the
Partnership including, but not limited to, the lawsuit discussed in Note 6 of
Notes to Financial Statements. In the absence of any contingency, the reserves
will be paid within twelve months of the property being sold. In the event a
contingency continues to exist or arises, reserves may be held by the
Partnership for a longer period of time. In light of results to date, the
General Partner does not anticipate that investors will recover a substantial
portion of their original investment.

In October 1997, the Partnership paid a distribution of Net Cash Receipts of
$165,900 ($5.53 per Interest) to the holders of Limited Partnership Interests
for the third quarter of 1997. This distribution is consistent with the amount
paid for the first and second quarters of 1997. Including the October 1997
distribution, Limited Partners have received distributions of Net Cash Receipts
of $316.07 and Net Cash Proceeds of $263.08, totaling $579.15 per $1,000
Interest. The Partnership expects to make a distribution from available
proceeds from the sale of the Centre and available cash reserves in January
1998 if the sale of the Centre closes in December 1997. The General Partner
believes it has retained, on behalf of the Partnership, an appropriate amount
of working capital to meet cash or liquidity requirements which may occur.
 
Inflation has several types of potentially conflicting impacts on real estate
<PAGE>
investments. Short-term inflation can increase real estate operating costs
which may or may not be recovered through increased rents and/or sales prices,
depending on general or local economic conditions. In the long term, inflation
can be expected to increase operating costs and replacement costs and may lead
to increased rental revenues and real estate values.
