                       (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 quarter ended March 31,
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 is currently marketing the Centre for sale. If the
property is sold, 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 5 of Notes to the Financial
Statements. In the absence of any contingency, the reserves will be paid within
twelve months of the property being sold. In the event of a contingency,
reserves may be held by the Partnership for a longer period of time.

3. Interest Expense:

During the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership incurred
and paid interest expense on the mortgage note payable of $314,823 and
$318,332, respectively.

4. Transactions with Affiliates:

Fees and expenses paid and payable by the Partnership to affiliates during the
quarter ended March 31, 1997 are:
               
                                        Paid       Payable      
                                    ------------  ---------         
   Reimbursement of expenses to
     the General Partner, at cost  $      8,890   $  34,412
                   
5. 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.

6. Subsequent Event:

In April 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 first 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.

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
- ---------------------

Higher service income, which was partially offset by a decrease in rental
income, resulted in a decrease in the Partnership's net loss during the three  
months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the same period 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 quarters ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996.

Rental income decreased approximately $73,000 during 1997 when compared to 1996
primarily due to lower occupancy. This decrease in rental income was partially
offset by additional income of $41,000 related to the early termination of a
lease at the Centre.

The Partnership bills tenants on a monthly basis for common area maintenance
based on estimates. Adjustments are periodically made to these billings once
the Partnership has determined the actual amounts due. Service income increased
during 1997 when compared to 1996 due to higher billings related to common area
maintenance.

As a result of higher accounting and other professional fees incurred by the
Partnership, administrative expenses increased during 1997 when compared to
1996.

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

The cash position of the Partnership decreased by approximately $164,000 as of
March 31, 1997 when compared to December 31, 1996. The Partnership generated
cash flow of approximately $39,000 from its operating activities. The operating
activities reflect the operations of the Centre, interest income earned on
short-term investments, and the payment of administrative expenses. The
Partnership used cash to fund its financing activities of approximately
$202,000 which consisted of the payment of a distribution totaling
approximately $166,000 to Limited Partners and the payment of principal on the
mortgage note payable of approximately $36,000. 

As of March 31, 1997, the occupancy rate at the Centre was 79%. During each of
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. The Partnership is currently marketing the
Centre for sale. If the property is sold, 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 5 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 of a contingency, reserves may be held by the Partnership for a
longer period of time. In light of results to date and current market
conditions, the General Partner does not anticipate that investors will recover
all of their original investment.

In April 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 first quarter of 1997. This distribution is consistent with the amount
distributed for the fourth quarter of 1996. Including the April 1997
distribution, Limited Partners have received distributions of Net Cash Receipts
of $305.01 and Net Cash Proceeds of $263.08, totaling $568.09 per $1,000
Interest. The Partnership expects to continue making quarterly distributions
from cash flow from property operations. 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
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.
