  Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
  Results of Operations

  Rental income for the twelve months ended December 31, 1997 was $3,524,105
  as compared to $3,400,522 and $3,341,405 for the comparable periods  ended
  December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively.  Income from
  property operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 1997 was
  $1,441,200 as compared to $1,402,132 and $1,267,198 for the comparable
  periods ended December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995.  The increase in
  income from property operations was a result of the implementation of
  several rental rate increases over the past two years which offset a slight
  decrease in the occupancy rate. Depreciation expense decreased 13.3% or
  $84,021 from 1996 to 1997. This decrease is a result of the appliance and
  equipment fixed assets purchased in 1988 and 1989 have reached their maximum
  depreciable lives. Utility expenses decreased by 13.2% or $31,483 from
  1995 to 1996. This decrease is attributable to a water utility credit
  received in early 1996 from the city of Durham, North Carolina for
  an overbilling to the Springfield Apartments in 1995.  Repairs and
  maintenance expense increased 34.8% or $94,973 from 1996 to 1997.  This
  increase was primarily caused by the repainting of the apartment buildings
  and clubhouse at the Springfield Apartments at a cost of $78,593 and $8,305
  of exterior building repairs at the Oakwood Village Apartments. The
  increase in other operating cost of $23,030 from 1996 to 1997 is primarily
  attributable to the higher costs and increased volume of advertising and
  promotions at both properties. 

  A small parcel of Oakwood Village land was sold during 1995 to DeKalb
  County for a road widening project.  The land, which sold for $72,795
  and had a cost basis of $6,853, netted a $65,942 extraordinary gain for
  the Partnership.

  Interest expense increased from $1,540,953 for the twelve months ended
  December 31, 1995 to $1,581,264 for the twelve months ended December 31,
  1996.  This increase in interest expense was a result of increases to
  the principal loan balance.  The loan balance increased because interest
  accrued and was added to the loan balance for the Oakwood Village First
  Purchase Money Mortgage.  In addition, the Springfield Purchase Money First
  Mortgage was paid off in 1997 and a prepayment penalty of $176,500 was
  incurred.  This increase was offset by lower monthly interest payments
  that resulted as the two properties original debt was replaced by more
  traditional amortizing debt.

  Net loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 1997 was $296,253 or
  $29.92 per Limited Partnership Unit outstanding as compared to a loss of
  $150,117 or $15.16 per Limited Partnership Unit for the comparable period
  ended December 31, 1996 and $170,145 or $18.09 per Limited Partnership
  Unit for the comparable period ended December 31, 1995.  The primary source
  of funds in 1998 will accumulate from rental operations and investment
  earnings.

  Cash distributions of $634,973, $746,634, and $723,116 were paid to limited
  partners and cash distributions of $29,706, $39,296, and $38,058 were paid
  to the general partners in 1997, 1996, and 1995 respectively.

  Liquidity and Capital Resources

  In management's opinion, working capital reserves and liquidity are
  sufficient to meet the short-term operating need of the Partnership. 
  A debt refinancing on both the Oakwood Village Apartments and the
  Springfield Apartments provided the long-term capital resources necessary
  to cover the mortgage balloon payments.

  Cash provided by operating activities decreased by $311,513 from 1996 to
  1997.  This decrease resulted from a larger net loss in 1997 compared to
  1996 and a decrease
  in non-cash expenses including depreciation and deferred interest.  The
  depreciation decrease as described above was caused by the "retirement"
  of fully depreciated assets purchased in 1988 and 1989.  The decrease in
  deferred interest was a result of the debt refinancing on the Oakwood
  Village loan on October 2, 1997.  Cash provided by operating activities
  increased by $27,880 from 1995 to 1996.  The increase resulted primarily
  from a smaller net loss in 1996 compared to 1995 and an
  increase in unearned rents from 1995 to 1996 which offset cash used
  to reduce accounts payable and pay the 1997 insurance premiums.

  Cash used by investing activities totaled $95,756 for 1996 as compared
  to $1,835 for 1995.  Fixed asset additions totaled $95,756 and $74,630 for 
  1996 and 1995 respectively.  A small parcel of Oakwood Village Apartments
  land was sold for $72,795 during 1995 to DeKalb County for a road widening
  project.  The sale proceeds of the land parcel decreased cash used by
  investing activities.

  Cash used by financing activities totaled $695,918 for 1997 as compared to
  $822,438 for 1996.  This decline was primarily caused by a reduction of
  $121,251 in partner distributions from 1996 to 1997 and secondarily by the
  debt refinancing and related costs of replacing the original Oakwood
  Village and Springfield mortgages.  An increase in payments of notes
  payable in 1995 is the reason for the decrease in cash used by financing
  activities.  $35,000 of the Oakwood Village land sale proceeds discussed
  above was used to make a principal paydown on the Oakwood Village purchase
  money first mortgage in 1995.

FOUNDATION REALTY FUND, LTD.
(A Florida Limited Partnership)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1997


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION:

Foundation Realty Fund, Ltd. (the "Partnership"), a Florida Limited
Partnership, was formed April 14, 1987 under the laws of Florida.
Operations commenced on January 12, 1988. The Partnership operates two
apartment properties. The Partnership will terminate on December 31, 2020,
or sooner, in accordance with the terms of the Limited Partnership
Agreement. The partnership has received Limited and General Partner
capital contributions of $9,407,000 and $1,000 respectively. J. Robert
Love, an individual, and RJ Properties, Inc., a majority owned subsidiary
of Raymond James Financial, Inc. are the General Partners and manage
and control the business of the Partnership.

Operating profits and losses are allocated 95% to the limited partners and
5% to the general partners. Cash from operations will be shared 95% by the
limited partners and 5% by the general partners; however, distributions
to the general partners are subordinated to certain preferred returns
to the limited partners. Profit and loss and cash distributions from sales
of properties will be allocated as formulated in the Limited Partnership
Agreement.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of Accounting

The Partnership utilizes the accrual basis of accounting whereby revenues
are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized as obligations
are incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

It is the Partnership's policy to include short-term investments with an
original maturity of three months or less in cash and cash equivalents.
These short-term investments are comprised of money market funds and
repurchase agreements.

Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents include $243,556 at December 31, 1997 and
$108,773 at December 31, 1996 of cash held in escrow for the payment of
real estate taxes and capital replacement items. Cash and cash equivalents 
also include $89,601 at
December 31, 1997 and $93,797 at December 31, 1996 of tenant security
deposits held in escrow account.

Income Taxes

No provision for income taxes has been made in these financial statements,
as income taxes are a liability of the partners rather than of the
Partnership.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the partnership to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash investments
in high credit quality financial institutions.

Depreciation

The apartment buildings are being depreciated over 35 years using the
straight-line method. Furniture and fixtures are being depreciated over
eight years using the straight-line method.

Reclassifications

Certain accounts in the prior year financial statements have been
reclassed for comparison purposes to conform with the presentation
in the current year financial statements.

Risks and Uncertainties

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates that
affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. These estimates are
based on management's knowledge and experience. Accordingly, actual
results could differ from these estimates.

NOTE 3 COMPENSATION, REIMBURSEMENTS, AND ACCRUALS TO THE GENERAL
PARTNERS AND AFFILIATES:

The General Partners and affiliates are entitled to the following types
of compensation and reimbursement for costs and expenses incurred for
