                       (An Illinois Limited Partnership)

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Accounting Policies:

(a) For financial statement purposes, the capital accounts of the General
Partner and the Limited Partners have been adjusted to appropriately reflect
their remaining economic interests as provided for in the Partnership
Agreement.

(b) 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, 1998, and all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring
nature.

2. Partnership Termination:

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, when all interests in real estate are
sold or otherwise disposed of and the General Partner is not aware of any
remaining contingencies, the Partnership will be dissolved. The Centre was sold
in January 1998. The Partnership has been dismissed as a defendant in a
proposed class action lawsuit. However, there continues to be certain
litigation with a former tenant at the property. If this litigation can be
resolved and no new contingencies arise, the General Partner expects to
terminate the Partnership during 1998.

3. Interest Expense:

During the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, the Partnership incurred
and paid interest expense on the mortgage note payable of $103,760 and
$314,823, respectively.

4. Transactions with Affiliates:

Fees and expenses paid and payable by the Partnership to affiliates during the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 are:

                                        Paid        Payable
                                      ------------  ---------         

   Reimbursement of expenses to
     the General Partner, at cost    $     16,677   $ 31,083 

5.  Property Sale:
                  
In January 1998, the Partnership sold the Centre in an all cash sale for
$15,000,000, less a credit of $935,000 related to tenant improvements and
renovations for a net sale price of $14,065,000. From the proceeds of the sale,
the Partnership paid $12,279,304 to the third party mortgage holder in full
satisfaction of the first mortgage loan, paid $376,955 in selling costs and
paid a prepayment penalty of $122,793. The basis of the property at the date of
<PAGE>
sale was $13,688,045, net of accumulated depreciation of $13,200,183.  For
financial statement purposes, the Partnership recorded a $3,548,157 provision
for investment property writedown during 1997 and accordingly no gain or loss
was recognized from the sale of the Centre during 1998.

6.  Extraordinary Item:

In January 1998, the Partnership sold the Centre. In connection with the sale,
the Partnership wrote off the remaining unamortized deferred financing fees in
the amount of $122,865 and paid a prepayment penalty in the amount of $122,793.
These amounts were recognized as an extraordinary item and classified as debt
extinguishment expense.

7. Contingency:

In the normal course of business, the Partnership is involved in legal actions
arising from the operation of its property. The Partnership is currently
involved in certain litigation with a former tenant at the property. In
management's opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from
such legal actions are not expected to have a materially adverse effect on the
financial position, operations or liquidity of the Partnership.

                       (An Illinois Limited Partnership)

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Outlet Centre Partners (the "Partnership") was formed in 1987 to own and
operate 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. During January
1998, the Partnership sold 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 1997 for a more complete understanding of
the Partnership's financial position.

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

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

During January 1998, the Partnership sold the Centre and incurred debt
extinguishment expense. During 1997, the Centre operated at a loss. As a result
the partnership recognized a net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 and
1997. Further discussion of the operations of the Partnership is summarized
below.

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

Discussions of fluctuations between 1998 and 1997 refer to the quarters ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997.

As a result of the sale of the Centre in January 1998, rental and service
income, interest expense on mortgage notes payable, depreciation expense,
amortization expense, property operating, real estate tax expense and property
management fees expense decreased during 1998 as compared to 1997.

Higher average cash balances were available for investment during 1998 due to
the proceeds received in connection with the sale of the Centre prior to
distribution to Limited Partners in March 1998. In addition, the mortgage note
secured by the property was not paid off at the closing date, January 8, 1998.
The proceeds were held by the escrow agent and invested until February 1, 1998
when the mortgage note was paid off. As a result, interest income on short-term
investments increased during 1998 as compared to 1997.
 
As a result of higher accounting and legal fees incurred by the Partnership in
connection with the property sale, administrative expenses increased during
1998 when compared to 1997.

In January 1998, the Partnership sold the Centre. In connection with the sale,
the Partnership wrote off the remaining unamortized deferred financing fees in 
<PAGE>
the amount of $122,865 and paid a prepayment penalty in the amount of $122,793.
These amounts were recognized as an extraordinary item and classified as debt
extinguishment expense.

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

The cash position of the Partnership decreased approximately $654,000 as of
March 31, 1998 when compared to December 31, 1997 primarily due to the payment
of accrued real estate taxes. The Partnership used cash flow of approximately
$693,000 to fund its operating activities. The operating activities reflect the
payment of accrued real estate taxes, the operations of the Centre and the
payment of administrative expenses, offset by interest income earned on
short-term investments. The Partnership's investing activities of approximately
$13,437,000 consisted of the receipt of approximately $13,688,000 of sales
proceeds net of selling costs from the sale of the Centre which was partially
offset by approximately $251,000 of earnest money credited to the purchaser.
The Partnership used net cash of approximately $13,389,000 to fund its
financing activities which consisted of the repayment of the mortgage note
payable of approximately $12,279,000, the payment of distributions totaling
approximately $1,906,000 to Limited Partners and the receipt of the capital
improvement escrow of approximately $787,000. 

In January 1998, the Partnership sold the Centre in an all cash sale for
$15,000,000, less a credit of $935,000 related to tenant improvements and
renovations for a net sale price of $14,065,000. From the proceeds of the sale,
the Partnership paid $12,279,304 to the third party mortgage holder in full
satisfaction of the first mortgage loan. Mortgage escrows of $815,045 were
released to the Partnership in February 1998 upon the repayment of the first
mortgage loan. The Partnership paid $376,955 in selling costs and a prepayment
penalty of $122,793. Of the sale proceeds, $400,000 will be retained by the
Partnership until July 1998. This amount is reserved to provide for the maximum
potential liability of the Partnership pursuant to the sale contract. The
remaining available proceeds from the sale were distributed to Limited Partners
in March 1998. See Note 5 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional
information.

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, when all interests in real estate are
sold or otherwise disposed of and the General Partner is not aware of any
remaining contingencies, the Partnership will be dissolved.  The Centre was
sold in January 1998. The Partnership has been dismissed as a defendant in a
proposed class action lawsuit. However, there continues to be certain
litigation with a former tenant at the property. If this litigation can be
resolved and no new contingencies arise, the General Partner expects to
terminate the Partnership during 1998. 

To date the Limited Partners have received distributions of Net Cash Receipts
of $321.60 and Net Cash Proceeds of $321.08, totaling $642.68 per $1,000
Interest.  No further distributions are anticipated to be made prior to the
termination of the Partnership. However, after paying final partnership
expenses, any remaining cash reserves will be distributed. In light of results
to date, Limited Partners will not recover a substantial portion of their
original investment.
