              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998
                              (UNAUDITED)


     Readers of this quarterly report should refer to the Partnership's
audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998,
which are included in the Partnership's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K
(File No. 0-16976) filed on March 31, 1999, as certain footnote disclosures
which would substantially duplicate those contained in such audited
financial statements have been omitted from this report.  Capitalized terms
used but not defined in this quarterly report have the same meanings as in
the Partnership's 1998 Annual Report.

GENERAL

     Capitalized Interest and Real Estate Taxes

     Interest, including the amortization of loan fees, of $1,999,035 and
$3,209,812 was incurred for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, all of which was capitalized.  Interest payments, including
amounts capitalized, of $1,870,066 and $3,434,833 were made during the six
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  Interest, including the
amortization of loan fees, of $1,009,098 and $1,598,813 was incurred for
the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, all of which
was capitalized.  Interest payments, including amounts capitalized of
$885,879 and $1,575,352 were made during the three months ended June 30,
1999 and 1998, respectively.  The decrease in interest incurred and paid
during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 compared to the
same periods in 1998 is due to a decrease in the average amount of debt
outstanding during the periods.

     Real estate taxes of $2,850,412 and $3,594,419 were incurred for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, of which $1,479,607
and $1,799,582 were capitalized, respectively.  Real estate tax payments of
$431,486 and $189,677 were made during the six months ended June 30, 1999
and 1998, respectively.  In addition, real estate tax reimbursements
totaling $198,448 and $267,106 were received from the Partnership's escrow
agent during the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Real estate taxes of $1,460,953 and $1,938,861 were incurred for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, of which $770,969 and
$979,717 were capitalized, respectively.  Real estate tax payments of
$274,876 and $123,291 were made during the three months ended June 30, 1999
and 1998, respectively.  In addition, real estate tax reimbursements
totaling $93,512 and $10,332, were received from the Partnership's escrow
agent during the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The preceding analysis of real estate taxes does not include real estate
taxes incurred or paid with respect to the Partnership's club facilities
and other operating properties as these taxes are included in cost of
revenues for operating properties.

     Property and Equipment and Other Assets

     Depreciation expense of $1,255,025 and $1,462,736 was incurred for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  Amortization of
other assets, excluding loan fees, of $196,830 was incurred for each of the
six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.  Amortization of loan fees, which
is included in interest expense, of $125,000 was incurred for each of the


<PAGE>


six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.  Depreciation expense of $613,432
and $728,769 was incurred for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and
1998, respectively.  Amortization of other assets, excluding loan fees, of
$98,415 was incurred for each of the three months ended June 30, 1999 and
1998.  Amortization of loan fees, which is included in interest expense, of
$62,500 was incurred for each of the three months ended June 30, 1999 and
1998.

     Partnership Distributions

     During February 1999, the Partnership made a distribution for 1998 of
$58,580,000 to its Holders of Interests ($145.00 per Interest) and
$3,254,407 to the General Partner and Associate Limited Partners,
collectively.  These distributions are the primary cause for the decrease
in Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1999 as compared to December 31,
1998.  In addition, during the second quarter of 1999, distributions
totaling $30,645 (approximately $.08 per Interest) and $3,265 were deemed
to be paid to the Holders of Interests and to the General Partner and
Associate Limited Partners, respectively, all of which was remitted to
North Carolina tax authorities on their behalf for the 1998 non-resident
withholding tax.

     Reclassifications

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1998 financial
statements to conform to the 1999 presentation.

NOTES AND MORTGAGES PAYABLE

     At June 30, 1999, the balances outstanding on the term loan, the
revolving line of credit and the letter of credit facility were
approximately $27,500,000, $0 and $867,000, respectively.  For the six
month period ended June 30, 1999, the combined effective interest rate for
the Partnership's credit facilities, including the amortization of loan
origination fees, and the effect of the interest rate swap agreements was
approximately 8.3% per annum.

     Construction of the final building at Arvida's Grand Bay commenced in
1998, and in February 1999, the Partnership closed on a new line of credit
to be drawn upon if necessary to fund its construction.  This line of
credit has a borrowing capacity of $23,150,000, matures on February 4, 2001
and bears interest, at the Partnership's option, at the relevant LIBOR rate
plus 2.00% per annum or the lender's prime rate.  No borrowings have been
made under this line of credit as of the date of this report.

INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO JOINT VENTURES

     In March 1999, the Pompano Park Joint Venture closed on the sale of
its commercial/industrial property on an "as is" basis to an unaffiliated
third party for a sale price of $2.9 million.  The net closing proceeds
totaling approximately $2.7 million were disbursed to the joint venture's
lender in full satisfaction of the remaining balance outstanding on the
mortgage loan encumbering the property.  As a result of the property's
sale, the joint venture and the Partnership have no future obligation to
the purchaser to fund costs related to the environmental clean-up of this
property.  With respect to the environmental issues, the clean-up, which
began in July 1994, is in a "monitoring only" phase pursuant to an informal
arrangement with state environmental officials.  There are no assurances
that further clean-up will not be required.  If further action is required
and the previous owner is unable to fulfill all its obligations as they
relate to this environmental issue, the joint venture and ultimately the
Partnership may be obligated to the state for such costs.  Should this
occur, the Partnership does not anticipate the cost of this clean-up to be
material to its operations.

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

     The Partnership, subject to certain limitations, may engage affiliates
of the General Partner for insurance brokerage and certain other
administrative services to be performed in connection with the
administration of the Partnership and its assets.  The total of such costs
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was approximately $166,200, all of
which was paid as of June 30, 1999.  The total of such costs for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 was approximately $200,400.  In addition, the
General Partner and its affiliates are entitled to reimbursements for
salaries and salary-related costs relating to the administration of the
Partnership and the operation of the Partnership's properties.  Such costs
were approximately $183,300 and $104,300 for the six months ended June 30,
1999 and 1998, respectively, all of which were paid as of June 30, 1999.

     The Partnership receives reimbursements from or reimburses other
affiliates of the General Partner engaged in real estate activities for
certain general and administrative costs including, and without limitation,
salary and salary-related costs relating to work performed by employees of
the Partnership and certain out-of-pocket expenditures incurred on behalf
of such affiliates.  For the six month period ended June 30, 1999, the
amount of such costs incurred by the Partnership on behalf of these
affiliates totaled approximately $399,100.  At June 30, 1999, approximately
$50,100 was owed to the Partnership, all of which was received as of July
31, 1999.  For the six month period ended June 30, 1998, the Partnership
was entitled to reimbursements of approximately $921,800.

     In November 1997, The St. Joe Company completed its acquisition of a
majority interest in St. Joe/Arvida Company, L.P. ("St. Joe/Arvida"), which
acquired the major assets of Arvida Company ("Arvida").  The transaction
did not involve the sale of any assets of the Partnership, nor the sale of
the General Partner's interest in the Partnership.  In connection with this
transaction, Arvida entered into a sub-management agreement with St.
Joe/Arvida, effective January 1, 1998, whereby St. Joe/Arvida provides (and
is reimbursed for) a substantial portion of the development and management
supervisory and advisory services (and personnel with respect thereto) to
the Partnership that Arvida would otherwise provide pursuant to its
management agreement with the Partnership.  Effective January 1, 1998, St.
Joe/Arvida employs most of the same personnel previously employed by
Arvida, and the services provided to the Partnership pursuant to this sub-
management agreement are provided by the same personnel.  St. Joe/Arvida is
reimbursed for such services and personnel on the same basis as Arvida
under the management agreement, and such reimbursements are made directly
by the Partnership.  Affiliates of JMB Realty Corporation own a minority
interest in St. Joe/Arvida.

     For the six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the
Partnership reimbursed St. Joe/Arvida or its affiliates approximately
$3,606,400 and $3,102,600 respectively, for the services provided to the
Partnership by St. Joe/Arvida pursuant to the sub-management agreement
discussed above.  At June 30, 1999, the Partnership owed St. Joe/Arvida
approximately $133,100 for services provided pursuant to this agreement,
all of which was paid as of July 31, 1999.  The Partnership also receives
reimbursement from St. Joe/Arvida for certain general and administrative
costs including, and without limitation, salary and salary-related costs
relating to work performed by employees of the Partnership on behalf of St.
Joe/Arvida.  For the six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the
Partnership received approximately $927,400 and $350,100, respectively,
from St. Joe/Arvida or its affiliates.  Of this amount, approximately
$133,200 was owed to the Partnership at June 30, 1999, all of which was
received as of July 31, 1999.

     The Partnership pays for certain general and administrative costs on
behalf of its clubs, homeowner associations and maintenance associations
(including salary and salary-related costs and legal fees).  The
Partnership receives reimbursements from these entities for such costs.
For the six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the Partnership was
entitled to receive approximately $715,300 and $461,000, respectively, from
these entities.  At June 30, 1999, approximately $91,400 was owed to the
Partnership, of which approximately $36,000 was received as of July 31,
1999.

     The Partnership, pursuant to certain agreements, provides management
and other personnel and services to certain of its equity clubs and
homeowners associations.  Pursuant to these agreements, the Partnership is
entitled to receive management fees for the services provided to these
entities.  Due to the timing of the cash flows generated from these
entities' operations, such fees are typically paid in arrears.  For the six
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the Partnership was entitled to
receive approximately $702,600 and $662,700, respectively.  At June 30,
1999, approximately $857,200 was unpaid (including amounts owed from the
previous year), of which approximately $100,000 was received as of July 31,
1999.

     The Partnership funds working capital advances and operating deficits
of its equity clubs, as well as operating deficits of its homeowners
associations as required or deemed necessary.  The working capital advances
are non-interest bearing, short-term in nature, and are expected to be
reimbursed from future cash flows of the equity clubs.  The funding of
operating deficits is expensed by the Partnership.  The Partnership also
funds, at its option, certain capital expenditures of its equity clubs.
For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Partnership was entitled to
receive approximately $19,600.  At June 30, 1999, approximately $12,400 was
owed to the Partnership, none of which was received as of July 31, 1999.

     In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner and
Associate Limited Partners have deferred a portion of their distributions
of net cash flow from the Partnership totaling approximately $11,934,000 as
of June 30, 1999.  This amount does not bear interest and is expected to be
paid in future periods subject to certain restrictions in the partnership
agreement of the Partnership and the Partnership's credit facility.  In
addition, in connection with the settlement of certain litigation, the
General Partner and the Associate Limited Partners deferred approximately
$1,259,000 of their share of the August 1997 distribution which was
otherwise distributable to them, and such deferred distribution amount was
used by the Partnership to pay a portion of the legal fees and expenses in
such litigation.  The General Partner and Associate Limited Partners will
be entitled to receive such deferred amounts after the Holders of Interests
have received a specified amount of distributions from the Partnership
after July 1, 1996.

     All amounts receivable from or payable to the General Partner or its
affiliates do not bear interest and are expected to be paid in future
periods.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     As security for performance of certain development obligations, the
Partnership is contingently liable under standby letters of credit and
performance bonds for approximately $867,000 and $14,732,000, respectively,
at June 30, 1999.  In addition, certain joint ventures in which the
Partnership holds an interest are also contingently liable under
performance bonds for approximately $1,020,000 at June 30, 1999.

     The Partnership was named a defendant in a number of homeowner
lawsuits, certain of which purported to be class actions, that allegedly in
part arose out of or related to Hurricane Andrew, which on August 24, 1992
resulted in damage to a former community development known as Country Walk.

The homeowner lawsuits alleged, among other things, that the damage
suffered by the plaintiffs' homes and/or condominiums within Country Walk
was beyond what could have been reasonably expected from the hurricane
and/or was a result of the defendants' alleged defective design,
construction, inspection and/or other improper conduct in connection with
the development, construction and sales of such homes and condominiums,
including alleged building code violations.  The various plaintiffs sought
varying and, in some cases, unspecified amounts of compensatory damages and
other relief.

     Several of these lawsuits alleged that the Partnership was liable,
among other reasons, as a result of its own alleged acts of misconduct or
as a result of the Partnership's alleged assumption of Arvida Corporation's
liabilities in connection with the Partnership's purchase of Arvida
Corporation's assets from Disney in 1987, which included certain assets
related to the Country Walk development.  Pursuant to the agreement to
purchase such assets, the Partnership obtained indemnification by Disney
for certain liabilities relating to facts or circumstances arising or
occurring prior to the closing of the Partnership's purchase of the assets.

Over 80% of the Arvida-built homes in Country Walk were built prior to the
Partnership's ownership of the Community.  The Partnership has tendered
each of the above-described lawsuits to Disney for defense and
indemnification in whole or in part pursuant to the Partnership's
indemnification rights.  Where appropriate, the Partnership has also
tendered these lawsuits to its various insurance carriers for defense and
coverage.  The Partnership is unable to determine at this time to what
extent damages in these lawsuits, if any, against the Partnership, as well
as the Partnership's cost of investigating and defending the lawsuits, will
ultimately be recoverable by the Partnership either pursuant to its rights
of indemnification by Disney or under contracts of insurance.

     One of the Partnership's insurance carriers has been funding
settlements of various litigation related to Hurricane Andrew.  In some,
but not all, instances, the insurance carrier has provided the Partnership
with written reservation of rights letters.  The aggregate amount of the
settlements funded to date by this carrier is approximately $8.21 million.
The insurance carrier that funded these settlements pursuant to certain
reservations of rights has stated its position that it has done so pursuant
to various non-waiver agreements.  The carrier's position was that these
non-waiver agreements permitted the carrier to fund settlements without
preventing the carrier from raising insurance coverage issues or waiving
such coverage issues.  On May 23, 1995, the insurance carrier rescinded the
various non-waiver agreements currently in effect regarding the remainder
of the Hurricane Andrew litigation, allegedly without waiving any future
coverage defenses, conditions, limitations, or rights.  For this and other
reasons, the extent to which the insurance carrier may recover any of these
proceeds from the Partnership is uncertain.  Therefore, the accompanying
consolidated financial statements do not reflect any accruals related to
this matter.

     Currently, the Partnership is involved in two subrogation lawsuits.
On April 19, 1993, a subrogation claim entitled Village Homes at Country
Walk Master Maintenance Association, Inc. v. Arvida Corporation et al., was
filed in the 11th Judicial Circuit for Dade County.  Plaintiffs filed this
suit for the use and benefit of American Reliance Insurance Company
("American Reliance").  In this suit, as amended, plaintiffs seek to
recover damages and pre- and post-judgment interest in connection with
$10,873,000 American Reliance has allegedly paid, plus amounts it may have
to pay in the future, to the condominium association at Country Walk in the
wake of Hurricane Andrew.  Disney is also a defendant in this suit.  The
Partnership believes that the amount of this claim that allegedly relates
to units it built and sold is approximately $3,600,000.  Plaintiffs also
seek a declaratory judgment seeking to hold the Partnership and other
defendants responsible for amounts American Reliance must pay in the future


<PAGE>


to its insured as additional damages beyond the $10,873,000 previously
paid.  The Partnership has filed motions directed to the complaint, as
amended, and the litigation is in the discovery stage.  The Partnership
intends to vigorously defend itself.  On or about May 10, 1996, a
subrogation claim entitled Juarez et al. v. Arvida Corporation et al. was
filed in the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in and for Dade
County.  Plaintiffs filed this suit for the use and benefit of American
Reliance.  In this suit, plaintiffs seek to recover damages, pre-and post-
judgment interest, costs and any other relief the Court may deem just and
proper in connection with $3,200,000 American Reliance allegedly paid on
specified claims at Country Walk in the wake of Hurricane Andrew.  Disney
is also a defendant in this suit.  The Partnership is advised that the
amount of this claim that allegedly relates to units it sold is
approximately $350,000.  The Partnership intends to defend itself
vigorously in this matter.  Due to the uncertainty of the outcome of these
subrogation actions, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do
not reflect any liabilities related to these matters.

     The Partnership has been named a defendant in a purported class action
entitled Lakes of the Meadow Village Homes, Condominium Nos. One, Two,
Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, and Nine Maintenance Associations,
Inc., v. Arvida/JMB Partners, L.P. and Walt Disney World Company, Case No.
95-23003-CA-08, filed in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit in
and for Dade County, Florida.  The original complaint was filed on or about
November 27, 1995 and an amended complaint, which purports to be a class
action, was filed on or about February 28, 1997.  In the case, plaintiffs
seek damages, attorneys fees and costs on behalf of the 460 building units
they allegedly represent for, among other things, alleged damages
discovered in the course of making Hurricane Andrew repairs.  Plaintiffs
allege that Walt Disney World Company is responsible for liabilities that
may arise in connection with approximately 80% of the buildings at the
Lakes of the Meadow Village Homes and that the Partnership is potentially
liable for the approximately 20% remaining amount of the buildings.  In the
three count amended complaint, plaintiffs allege breach of building codes
and breach of implied warranties.  In addition, plaintiffs seek rescission
and cancellation of various general releases obtained by the Partnership in
the course of the turnover of the community to the residents.  Previously,
the trial court had granted the Partnership summary judgment against the
plaintiffs' claims, based on the releases obtained by the Partnership.
Plaintiffs appealed that ruling.  The ruling was reversed on appeal, the
appellate court finding that there were issues of material fact which
precluded the entry of judgment for the Partnership, and the case was
remanded to the trial court for further proceedings.  On or about April 9,
1999, plaintiffs supplied a budget estimate for repairs of the alleged
defects and damages based on a limited survey of nine buildings only.
Based on this limited survey and assuming that the same alleged defects and
damages show up with the same frequency in the entire 460 buildings,
plaintiffs estimate the total repairs to cost approximately $7.0 million.
Based on the allegations of the amended complaint, it would appear that
plaintiffs would seek to hold the Partnership responsible for approximately
$1.4 million of this amount.  Discovery in this litigation is in its early
stages.  The Partnership has not had an opportunity to examine the
buildings nor assess the alleged merits of the plaintiffs' report.  The
Partnership is currently being defended by counsel for one of its insurance
carriers.  The Partnership intends to vigorously defend itself by, among
other things, pursuing its defenses of release and otherwise.

     The Partnership has been advised by Merrill Lynch that various
investors have sought to compel Merrill Lynch to arbitrate claims brought
by certain investors of the Partnership representing approximately 5% of
the total of approximately 404,000 Interests outstanding.  Merrill Lynch
has asked the Partnership and its General Partner to confirm an obligation
of the Partnership and its General Partner to indemnify Merrill Lynch in
these claims against all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense,
including without limitation attorneys' fees and expenses, under the terms
of a certain Agency Agreement dated September 15, 1987 ("Agency Agreement")


<PAGE>


with the Partnership relating to the sale of Interests through Merrill
Lynch on behalf of the Partnership.  These claimants have sought and are
seeking to arbitrate claims involving unspecified damages against Merrill
Lynch based on Merrill Lynch's alleged violation of applicable state and/or
federal securities laws and alleged violations of the rules of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., together with pendent state law
claims.  The Partnership believes that Merrill Lynch has resolved some of
these claims through litigation and otherwise, and that Merrill Lynch is
defending other claims.  The Agency Agreement generally provides that the
Partnership and its General Partner shall indemnify Merrill Lynch against
losses occasioned by any actual or alleged misstatements or omissions of
material facts in the Partnership's offering materials used in connection
with the sale of Interests and suffered by Merrill Lynch in performing its
duties under the Agency Agreement, under certain specified conditions.  The
Agency Agreement also generally provides, under certain conditions, that
Merrill Lynch shall indemnify the Partnership and its General Partner for
losses suffered by the Partnership and occasioned by certain specified
conduct by Merrill Lynch in the course of Merrill Lynch's solicitation of
subscriptions for, and sale of, Interests.  The Partnership is unable to
determine the ultimate investment of investors who have filed arbitration
claims as to which Merrill Lynch might seek indemnification in the future.
At this time, and based upon the information presently available about the
arbitration statements of claims filed by some of these investors, the
Partnership and its General Partner believe that they have meritorious
defenses to demands for indemnification made by Merrill Lynch and intend to
vigorously pursue such defenses.  Although there can be no assurance
regarding the outcome of the claims for indemnification, at this time,
based on information presently available about such arbitration statements
of claims, the Partnership and its General Partner do not believe that the
demands for indemnification by Merrill Lynch will have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition of the Partnership.

     On or about October 16, 1995, a lawsuit was filed against the
Partnership and others in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit,
in and for Palm Beach County, Florida, entitled Council of Villages, Inc.
et al v. Arvida/JMB Partners, Arvida/JMB Managers, Inc., Arvida/JMB
Partners, Ltd., Broken Sound Club, Inc., and Country Club Maintenance
Association, Inc. (the "Council of Villages" case).  The multi-count
complaint, as amended, is brought as a class action, and individually, on
behalf of various residents of the Broken Sound Community, and alleges that
defendants engaged in various acts of misconduct in, among other things,
the establishment, operation, management and marketing of the Broken Sound
golf course and recreational facilities, as well as the alleged improper
failure to turn over such facilities to the Broken Sound homeowners on a
timely basis.  Plaintiffs seek, through various theories, including but not
limited to breach of ordinance, fiduciary duty, fraud, constructive trust
and civil theft, damages in excess of $45 million, the appointment of a
receiver for the Broken Sound Club, other unspecified compensatory damages,
the right to seek punitive damages, treble damages, prejudgment interest,
attorneys' fees and costs.  The Partnership believes that the lawsuit is
without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter.

     On or about July 30, 1996, Savoy v. Arvida/JMB Partners, Arvida/JMB
Managers, Inc., Arvida/JMB Partners, Ltd., and Broken Sound Club, Inc. was
filed against the Partnership and others in the Circuit Court of the 15th
Judicial Circuit, in and for Palm Beach County, Florida.  The lawsuit is
filed as a three-count complaint for dissolution of the Broken Sound Club,
Inc. ("Club"), and seeks, among other things, the appointment of a
custodian or receiver for the Club, a determination that certain acts be
deemed wrongful, the return to the Club of in excess of $2.5 million in
alleged "operating profits", an injunction against the charging of certain
dues, an injunction requiring the Club to produce certain financial
statements, and such other relief as the Court deems just, fair and proper.

This action has been consolidated with the Council of Villages case.  The
Partnership believes the lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously
defend itself.



<PAGE>


     In April 1997, the Court issued an order certifying as a class action
claims respecting the alleged violation of the Boca Raton ordinances.  Both
plaintiffs and defendants appealed the certification order.  On appeal, the
appellate court approved certification of a class action for the following
counts:  breach of ordinance, breach of fiduciary duty, civil theft (treble
damages), breach of a constructive trust and unjust enrichment.  The
Partnership sought further review of the certification ruling, but relief
was denied by the Florida Supreme Court on May 6, 1999.  Plaintiffs in the
Savoy action moved for an appointment of a receiver over the Club.  The
Partnership moved to strike the motion and the Court granted the
Partnership's motion.  The Partnership has filed a third-party complaint
for indemnification and contribution against Disney in these consolidated
actions in the event the Partnership is held liable for acts taken by a
subsidiary of Disney prior to the Partnership's involvement in the Club and
property. The parties to the Council of Villages case have filed cross
motions for summary judgement on various issues related to the case and
these motions are pending before the Court for decision.  The Partnership
can give no assurances as to the outcome of these motions.  The Council of
Villages case is set for trial sometime between December 6, 1999 through
January 14, 2000, on all issues remaining after the ruling on summary
judgement.

     The Partnership is also a defendant in several actions brought against
it arising in the normal course of business.  It is the belief of the
General Partner, based on knowledge of facts and advice of counsel, that
the claims made against the Partnership in such actions will not result in
any material adverse effect on the Partnership's consolidated financial
position or results of operations.

     The Partnership may be responsible for funding certain other ancillary
activities for related entities in the ordinary course of business which
the Partnership does not currently believe will have any material adverse
effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

ASSETS HELD FOR DISPOSITION

     The Partnership discontinued depreciating the country club in its
River Hills community in Tampa, Florida in February 1999 due to its plans
to sell the club, and has classified the club as Property and equipment
held for disposition or sale on the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets at June 30, 1999.  In May 1999, the Partnership entered into a
contract with an unaffiliated third party purchaser for the sale of the
club.  The closing, which is expected to occur in August 1999, is subject
to the satisfaction of various conditions.  Results of operations for the
country club totaled approximately $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and are included in
Operating properties revenues and cost of revenues on the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations.

GENERAL PARTNER

     The General Partner of the Partnership is Arvida/JMB Managers, Inc., a
Delaware corporation.  All of its outstanding shares of stock are owned by
AF Investors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company which is
substantially owned by Northbrook Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Northbrook").  A significant majority of the outstanding stock of
Northbrook is owned by officers and directors of JMB Realty Corporation, a
Delaware corporation ("JMB"), together with members of their families.
Substantially all of the shares of JMB are owned by its officers,
directors, members of their families and their affiliates.  Arvida/JMB
Managers, Inc. became the general partner of the Partnership as a result of
a merger on March 30, 1990 of an affiliated corporation that was the then
general partner of the Partnership into Arvida/JMB Managers, Inc., which,
as the surviving corporation of such merger, continues as General Partner.
On May 1, 1999, a $20,561,034 portion of a note receivable from Northbrook
to Arvida/JMB Managers, Inc. was assigned and distributed to Northbrook.
As a result of such assignment and distribution, the remaining note has an


<PAGE>


outstanding principal balance of $1,000,000 and bears interest at the
applicable Federal rate for short-term loans (4.52% as of June 30, 1999).
All interest is deferred and is added to the principal balance of the note.

The note, as extended, is due June 30, 2001.  The General Partner has
responsibility for all aspects of the Partnership's operations.  The
condensed balance sheet of Arvida/JMB Managers, Inc. as of June 30, 1999 is

ADJUSTMENTS

     In the opinion of the General Partner, all adjustments (consisting
solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation
have been made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of
June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 and for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998.




<PAGE>


PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
              FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Reference is made to the notes to the accompanying consolidated
financial statements ("Notes") contained in this report for additional
information concerning the Partnership and its operations.

     Pursuant to Section 5.5 J of the Partnership Agreement, on October 23,
1997, the Board of Directors of the General Partner met and approved a
resolution selecting the option set forth in Section 5.5 J.(i)(c) of the
Partnership Agreement for the Partnership to commence an orderly
disposition of its remaining assets that is to be completed by the end of
October 2002.

     At June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the Partnership had
unrestricted Cash and cash equivalents of approximately $25,818,000 and
$82,104,000, respectively.  The decrease in Cash and cash equivalents at
June 30, 1999 as compared to December 31, 1998 is due primarily to
distributions to partners and Holders of Interests made during February
1999 totaling approximately $62 million.

     The General Partner has established a special committee (the "Special
Committee") consisting of certain directors of the General Partner to
review unsolicited offers for Interests.  In addition, the Partnership has
engaged Lehman Brothers, Inc. ("Lehman") as a financial advisor to assist
the Special Committee in evaluating and responding to such offers.  Lehman
was asked to render its estimate of the discounted present value (the
"Estimated Liquidation Value") of an Interest as of August 31, 1998 based
on the assumption that the Partnership commences an orderly liquidation in
October 1997 and completes the liquidation by October 2002.

     In arriving at the Estimated Liquidation Value, Lehman relied upon the
Partnership's estimate of the gross cash distributions that the Holders of
Interests would receive from August 31, 1998 (exclusive of the $50 per
Interest distribution made in September 1998).  (These estimated gross
distributions are based on certain assumptions that may or may not prove to
be true.  There are a number of factors, including risk factors, that may
cause the actual gross cash distributions to vary from such estimates, and
such variations could be material.)  These estimated gross distributions
were then discounted to reflect the present value of such distributions as
of August 31, 1998, which ranged from $425 to $455 per Interest, depending
on the different discount rates used.  (Such amounts include the
distribution of $145 per Interest made in March 1999).

     During February 1999, First Commercial Guarantee ("FCG") commenced an
offer to acquire up to approximately 19,600 Interests, which represents
approximately 4.9% of the outstanding Interests.  FCG's offer had a
purchase price of $300 per Interest (which was to be reduced by the $145
per Interest distribution made in March 1999 for an adjusted offer price of
$155 per Interest) and expired in March 1999.  Based on its analysis, the
Special Committee determined that with respect to Holders of Interest who
had the expectation of retaining their Interests through an anticipated
orderly liquidation of the Partnership's assets by October 2002 and who had
no current or anticipated need for liquidity, the FCG offer was inadequate
and not in the best interests of such Holders of Interests.  Accordingly,
the Special Committee recommended that such Holders of Interests reject the
offer and not tender their Interests pursuant to such offer.  With respect
to all other Holders of Interests, the Special Committee expressed no
opinion and remained neutral in regard to the offer.



<PAGE>


     At June 30, 1999, the balances outstanding under the term loan, the
revolving line of credit and the letter of credit facility were
approximately $27,500,000, $0 and $867,000, respectively.  In February
1998, the Partnership prepaid the $12.5 million principal repayment on the
term loan scheduled for July 1998.  In addition, in exchange for a rate
reduction of 50 basis points on its credit facility, the Partnership made
an additional $7.25 million prepayment on the term loan in August 1998.  As
a result of this transaction, interest on the credit facility is now based,
at the Partnership's option, on the relevant LIBOR plus 1.75% per annum or
the lender's prime rate.  In November 1998, the Partnership prepaid
$7,333,333 of the $12.5 million principal repayment on the term loan
scheduled for July 1999.  In June 1999, the Partnership paid the remaining
$4,166,667 due in July 1999.  In addition, in June 1999, the Partnership
prepaid the $6,250,000 principal repayment scheduled for February 2000, and
$3,750,000 of the $12,500,000 principal repayment scheduled for July 2000.

     Construction of the final building at Arvida's Grand Bay commenced in
1998, and in February 1999, the Partnership closed on the new line of
credit to be drawn upon if necessary to fund its construction.  This line
of credit has a borrowing capacity of $23,150,000, matures on February 4,
2001 and bears interest, at the Partnership's option, at the relevant LIBOR
rate plus 2.00% per annum or the lender's prime rate.  No borrowings have
been made under this line of credit as of the date of this report.

     In June 1999, the Partnership closed on the sale of its resale
brokerage operations in Weston, Sawgrass and Boca Raton, Florida to an
affiliate of The St. Joe Company for a sale price of $3.2 million.  This
sale generated a profit for financial reporting and Federal income tax
purposes.  The Partnership still retains limited commercial brokerage as
well as new home sale brokerage operations.

     On May 28, 1999, the Partnership entered into an agreement with Disney
which resolved all the claims and counterclaims raised in the Disney
litigation as discussed in Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings.  Under the
terms of the settlement agreement, Disney, among other things, paid the
Partnership $9.0 million and released any claims relating to the claims
pool.  The lawsuit was dismissed on June 3, 1999, pursuant to the terms of
the settlement agreement.

     In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner and
Associate Limited Partners have deferred a portion of their distributions
of net cash flow from the Partnership totaling approximately $11,934,000 as
of June 30, 1999.  This amount does not bear interest and is expected to be
paid in future periods subject to certain restrictions contained in the
partnership agreement of the Partnership and the Partnership's credit
facility.  In addition, in connection with the settlement of certain
litigation, the General Partner and the Associate Limited Partners deferred
approximately $1,259,000 of their share of the August 1997 distribution
which was otherwise distributable to them, and such deferred distribution
amount was used by the Partnership to pay a portion of the legal fees and
expenses in such litigation.  The General Partner and Associate Limited
Partners will be entitled to receive such deferred amount after the Holders
of Interests have received a specified amount of distributions from the
Partnership after July 1, 1996.

     The year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits rather than four to define a year.  Consequently, any
computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date
using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.  This could result
in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations
including, among other things, a temporary inability to process
transactions or engage in other normal business activities.  To be year
2000 compliant, a computer system must be able to do two things.  First, it
must be capable of storing date-related information in a format that can
discern between the 20th and 21st centuries.  Secondly, all computer
programs which access the stored information must be able to sort, collate,
and perform calculations properly on information that involves the current


<PAGE>


and next century.  In addition to computer programs, other date-sensitive
electronic devices including, but not limited to, copy machines,
thermostats, elevators, telephones and security systems could experience
various operational difficulties as a result of not being year 2000
compliant.

     The Partnership has organized a team to review and prepare its
computer systems for the year 2000 compliancy.  This team has completed an
internal assessment of its information system technology and determined a
need to upgrade portions of the Partnership's hardware and software so that
its computer systems would function properly with respect to dates in the
year 2000 and thereafter.  The software upgrade was initiated in October
1997 and completed in May 1998 at an approximate cost of $110,000.  A plan
has been developed to upgrade the Partnership's computer hardware including
its file servers, which is currently estimated to cost approximately
$300,000.  This estimate includes the cost of testing the upgraded computer
systems and replacing equipment which is not year 2000 compliant.  Neither
of these amounts includes employee costs, since the Partnership does not
separately identify such costs for year 2000 purposes.  The Partnership has
commenced its implementation of the hardware upgrade, which was previously
scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 1999.  However, such
implementation has been delayed due to the Partnership's decision to
utilize internal resources rather than incur the expense of outside
consultants to complete the hardware installations, and is currently
expected to be completed in the third quarter of 1999.  The Partnership
began testing its computer systems in November 1998 to determine compliance
with the year 2000.  Testing of all of the Partnership's mission critical
computer systems, including financial, human resources and payroll, is
complete.  As a result of this testing, it was concluded that these mission
critical systems are year 2000 compliant, and the Partnership does not
intend to develop a contingency plan for these aspects of its information
technology system.  A test of the Partnership's internally developed
software packages, which are also deemed mission critical, was completed in
the second quarter of 1999.  The Partnership has determined that no
contingency plan is necessary with respect to the internally developed
software packages.  Testing performed to date has shown that the hardware
upgrades currently planned are the only such upgrades that will be
required.

     In addition, all third parties such as banks, insurance companies and
governmental agencies who exchange digital information with the Partnership
have been identified and contacted regarding the year 2000 compliancy of
the information being exchanged.  Responses have been received from all of
these institutions, and the Partnership has successfully tested the
exchange of information. These exchanges are not deemed critical to the
operations of the Partnership.

     The Partnership has inventoried its non-information technology systems
such as, but not limited to alarms, security gates, locks and phone
systems, and has requested information from the various vendors of those
systems to determine their year 2000 compliancy.  To date, the Partnership
has received responses regarding the year 2000 compliancy of its phones and
other utilities, and is relying upon the vendors' testing of these systems
which has indicated they are year 2000 compliant.  To the extent responses
have not been received from other vendors deemed less significant to the
operations of the Partnership, the Partnership will continue to follow up
with additional requests regarding their year 2000 compliancy.  Although no
testing of the non-information technology systems is currently planned, a
communication plan has been developed to report any problems encountered as
a result of potential year 2000 system failures.  At this time, the
Partnership does not have an estimate of the amount of costs, if any, for
remediation relative to its non-information technology systems.

     The Partnership does not exchange digital information with any of its
suppliers utilized in connection with the development and construction of
its communities.  However, all vendors which are key to the success of its
operations such as suppliers of dry wall, lumber, and other materials were
sent a questionnaire to determine their year 2000 readiness.  Responses
have been received from some, but not all, of these vendors.  Responses
received to date from suppliers do not indicate any material adverse
effects on their operations due to year 2000-related issues.  To the extent
such suppliers are unable to perform services due to their year 2000-
related issues, the Partnership would expect to seek other similar
suppliers who are capable of performing development and construction
services.  However, there is no assurance the Partnership will be able to
find alternative suppliers in each instance.

     If the steps taken by the Partnership, its vendors, suppliers and
other third parties with whom the Partnership has material relationships
(i.e., banks, insurance companies and state agencies) to be year 2000
compliant are not successful, the Partnership could experience various
operational difficulties.  These could include, among other things, an
inability to process transactions to the correct accounting period,
difficulties in posting general ledger interfaces, an inability to process
computer generated checks, bank transactions posted to the wrong periods,
and the failure of scheduling applications which are date-sensitive.  In
addition, year 2000 failures experienced in government services could delay
essential services provided to the Partnership such as permitting and
inspections.  If interruptions occur in obtaining the materials and
supplies necessary in the Partnership's homebuilding operation, or if the
non-information technology systems fail, the Partnership could experience
various other operational difficulties.  These could include, among other
things, construction delays, interruptions in services provided by the
Partnership's country clubs, the inability to provide security services at
the entrances to the Partnership's communities, and disruptions in office
services such as telephones, elevators and heating and cooling systems.
Such operating difficulties could result in the Partnership's incurring
unanticipated costs for remediation and other expenses, and such amounts
could be material.  The Partnership has not ascertained a reasonably likely
"worst case" scenario for year 2000 issues, nor does it have an estimate of
losses or liabilities that could be incurred as a result of such scenario.

     The foregoing discussion of year 2000 issues and the Partnership's
responses thereto are based on information presently known.  The
Partnership is continuing its assessment and evaluation of various year
2000 issues, and will also be relying on third parties, particularly
suppliers of construction-related materials, as to their year 2000
compliance.  Accordingly, information concerning year 2000 issues, and the
Partnership's responses thereto including the nature, extent, timing and
cost of the Partnership's remediation efforts, other expenses, and related
costs, are subject to change, and such changes could be material.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30,
1999 are primarily attributable to the development and sale or operation of
the Partnership's assets.

     For the three months ended June 30, 1999, the Partnership (including
its consolidated ventures and its unconsolidated ventures accounted for
under the equity method) closed on the sale of 300 housing units, 34
homesites, and approximately 6 acres of developed and undeveloped land, as
well as the sale of its resale brokerage operations.  This compares to
closings in the second quarter of 1998 of 180 housing units, 34 homesites
and approximately 41 acres of developed and undeveloped land as well as the
sale of the remaining Sawgrass Country Club Memberships owned by the
Partnership.  Outstanding contracts ("backlog") at June 30, 1999, were for
886 housing units, 35 homesites and approximately 10 acres of developed and
undeveloped land tracts.  This compares to a backlog at June 30, 1998 of
832 housing units, 54 homesites and approximately 39 acres of developed and
undeveloped land tracts.

     The Partnership's Communities are in various stages of development,
with estimated remaining build-outs ranging from one to five years.
Notwithstanding the estimated duration of the build-outs, the Partnership
currently expects to complete its orderly liquidation by October 2002.  The
Weston Community, located in Broward County, Florida, is in its mid-stage
of development.  Also in their mid-stages of development are the River
Hills Country Club in Tampa, Florida; the Water's Edge Community in
Atlanta, Georgia; and The Cullasaja Club, near Highlands, North Carolina.
The Partnership's condominium project on Longboat Key, Florida known as
Arvida's Grand Bay and the Jacksonville Golf & Country Club Community in
Florida are both in their late stages of development.  Only builder units
remain to be sold at Jacksonville Golf & Country Club at June 30, 1999.
Future revenues will be impacted to the extent that there are lower levels
of inventories available for sale as the Partnership's remaining
Communities approach or undertake their final phases.

     Housing revenues increased for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 1999 as compared to the same periods in 1998 due primarily to an
increase in the number of units closed as well as a change in the mix of
product closed at the Partnership's Weston Community.  In addition,
revenues recognized under the percentage-of-completion method for the last
building at Arvida's Grand Bay also contributed to the increase in housing
revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the same
period in 1998.  These favorable variances were partially offset by
decreased revenues at Jacksonville Golf & Country Club due to the close out
of the remaining units in the fourth quarter of 1998.

     Homesite revenues decreased for the six month period ended June 30,
1999 as compared to the same period in 1998 due to the increase in the
Partnership's homebuilding operations in Weston, which has resulted in
reduced lots available for sale to third-party builders.  Lot sales at the
Partnership's River Hills Community increased for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the same periods in 1998.  These
sales are the primary cause for the increase in revenues for the second
quarter in 1999 as compared to the same period in 1998.

     Land and property revenues for the six month period ended June 30,
1999 were generated primarily from the sale of approximately 20 acres of
developed land in Weston, as well as the sale of the Partnership's resale
brokerage operations in Weston, Sawgrass and Boca Raton, Florida to an
affiliate of The St. Joe Company.  Revenues for the same period in 1998
were generated primarily from the sale of the Partnership's approximate 33%
interest in the HAE Joint Venture to one of its venture partners,
approximately 29 acres of undeveloped commercial property owned by the
Metrodrama Joint Venture, the remaining Sawgrass Country Club memberships,
and approximately 12 acres of developed land in Weston.

     The decrease in revenues from Operating properties for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the same periods in 1998 is
due primarily to the sale of the Partnership's cable operation in Weston in
October 1998.  This decrease was partially offset by increased dues and
golf revenues at the Weston Hills Country Club for the same periods.  The
sale of the cable operation is also the primary cause for the decrease in
the gross operating profit margin from operating properties for the six
month period ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the same period in 1998.

     The increase in brokerage and other operations for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the same periods in 1998
is due primarily to proceeds in the amount of $9 million received in
settlement of the lawsuit with Disney, as well as increased commissions
generated by the Partnership's resale operations in Boca Raton, Florida.
These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the Partnership's
new home sale brokerage commissions in Weston due to a decrease in the
number of units closed by third-party builders within the Community.



<PAGE>


     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased for the six
month period ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the same period in 1998 due
to a reduction in marketing expenses resulting from the sell out of units
at Arvida's Grand Bay and the late stage of development at Jacksonville
Golf & Country Club where only builder units remain to be sold.  Also
contributing to the favorable variance is a refund of prorated insurance
premiums received in January 1999 pertaining to several of the
Partnership's operating properties which were sold in prior periods.  These
favorable variances were partially offset by a decrease in marketing fees
earned due to a decrease in the number of units closed by third-party
builders within the Partnership's Weston Community.

     The decrease in interest income for the three months ended June 30,
1999 as compared to the same period in 1998 is due to a decrease in the
average amounts invested in short-term financial instruments, as well as an
adjustment recorded in the second quarter of 1999 to correct the amount of
interest income recognized in the first quarter of 1999.

     During the first quarter of 1999, the Partnership received an
approximate $0.6 million distribution from the Tampa 301 Associates Joint
Venture.  The amount distributed was in excess of the Partnership's
carrying value of its investment in this joint venture.  The recognition of
income related to this excess distribution is the primary cause for the
increase in equity in earnings of unconsolidated ventures for the six month
period ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the same period in 1998.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

     ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     Reference is made to the Commitments and Contingencies Section of
Notes for a detailed discussion regarding certain lawsuits which allegedly
in part arose out of or related to Hurricane Andrew, which on August 24,
1992 resulted in damage to a former community development known as Country
Walk, which discussion is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

     On or about October 16, 1995, a lawsuit was filed against the
Partnership and others in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit,
in and for Palm Beach County, Florida, entitled Council of Villages, Inc.
et al v. Arvida/JMB Partners, Arvida/JMB Managers, Inc., Arvida/JMB
Partners, Ltd., Broken Sound Club, Inc., and Country Club Maintenance
Association, Inc. (the "Council of Villages" case).  The multi-count
lawsuit, as amended, is brought as a class action, and individually, on
behalf of various residents of the Broken Sound Community, and alleges that
defendants engaged in various acts of misconduct in, among other things,
the establishment, operation, management and marketing of the Broken Sound
golf course and recreational facilities, as well as the alleged improper
failure to turn over said facilities to the Broken Sound homeowners on a
timely basis.  Plaintiffs seek, through various theories, including but not
limited to breach of ordinance, fiduciary duty, fraud, constructive trust
and civil theft, damages in excess of $45 million, the appointment of a
receiver for the Broken Sound Club, other unspecified compensatory damages,
the right to seek punitive damages, treble damages, prejudgment interest,
attorneys' fees and costs.  The Partnership believes that the lawsuit is
without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter.

     On or about July 30, 1996, Savoy v. Arvida/JMB Partners, Arvida/JMB
Managers, Inc., Arvida/JMB Partners, Ltd., and Broken Sound Club, Inc. was
filed against the Partnership and others in the Circuit Court of the 15th
Judicial Circuit, in and for Palm Beach County, Florida.  The lawsuit is
filed as a three-count complaint for dissolution of the Broken Sound Club,
Inc. ("Club"), and seeks, among other things, the appointment of a
custodian or receiver for the Club, a determination that certain acts be
deemed wrongful, the return to the Club of in excess of $2.5 million in
alleged "operating profits", an injunction against the charging of certain
dues, an injunction requiring the Club to produce certain financial
statements, and such other relief as the Court deems just, fair and proper.
This lawsuit has been consolidated with the Council of Village case.  The
Partnership believes the lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously
defend itself.

     In April 1997, the Court issued an order certifying as a class action
claims respecting the alleged violation of the Boca Raton ordinances.  Both
plaintiffs and defendants appealed the certification order.  On appeal, the
appellate court approved certification of a class action for the following
counts:  breach of ordinance, breach of fiduciary duty, civil theft (treble
damages), breach of a constructive trust and unjust enrichment.  The
Partnership sought further review of the certification ruling, but relief
was denied by the Florida Supreme Court on May 6, 1999.  Plaintiffs in the
Savoy action moved for an appointment of a receiver over the Club.  The
Partnership moved to strike the motion and the Court granted the
Partnership's motion.  The Partnership has filed a third-party complaint
for indemnification and contribution against Disney in these consolidated
actions in the event the Partnership is held liable for acts taken by a
subsidiary of Disney prior to the Partnership's involvement in the Club and
property.  The parties to the Council of Villages case have filed cross
motions for summary judgement on various issues related to the case and
these motions are pending before the Court for decision.  The Partnership
can give no assurances as to the outcome of these motions.  The Council of
Villages case is set for trial sometime between December 6, 1999 through
January 14, 2000, on all issues remaining after the ruling on summary
judgement.

     The Partnership has been named a defendant in a purported class action
entitled Lakes of the Meadow Village Homes, Condominium Nos. One, Two,
Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, and Nine Maintenance Associations,
Inc., v. Arvida/JMB Partners, L.P. and Walt Disney World Company, Case No.
95-23003-CA-08, filed in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit in
and for Dade County, Florida.  The original complaint was filed on or about
November 27, 1995 and an amended complaint, which purports to be a class
action, was filed on or about February 28, 1997.  In the case, plaintiffs
seek damages, attorneys fees and costs on behalf of the 460 building units
they allegedly represent for, among other things, alleged damages
discovered in the course of making Hurricane Andrew repairs.  Plaintiffs
allege that Walt Disney World Company is responsible for liabilities that
may arise in connection with approximately 80% of the buildings at the
Lakes of the Meadow Village Homes and that the Partnership is potentially
liable for the approximately 20% remaining amount of the buildings.  In the
three count amended complaint, plaintiffs allege breach of building codes
and breach of implied warranties.  In addition, plaintiffs seek rescission
and cancellation of various general releases obtained by the Partnership in
the course of the turnover of the community to the residents.  Previously,
the trial court had granted the Partnership summary judgment against the
plaintiffs' claims, based on the releases obtained by the Partnership.
Plaintiffs appealed that ruling.  The ruling was reversed on appeal, the
appellate court finding that there were issues of material fact which
precluded the entry of judgment for the Partnership, and the case was
remanded to the trial court for further proceedings.  On or about April 9,
1999, plaintiffs supplied a budget estimate for repairs of the alleged
defects and damages based on a limited survey of nine buildings only.
Based on this limited survey and assuming that the same alleged defects and
damages show up with the same frequency in the entire 460 buildings,
plaintiffs estimate the total repairs to cost approximately $7.0 million.
Based on the allegations of the amended complaint, it would appear that
plaintiffs would seek to hold the Partnership responsible for approximately
$1.4 million of this amount.  Discovery in this litigation is in its early
stages.  The Partnership has not had an opportunity to examine the
buildings nor assess the alleged merits of the plaintiffs' report.  The
Partnership is currently being defended by counsel for one of its insurance
carriers.  The Partnership intends to vigorously defend itself by, among
other things, pursuing its defenses of release and otherwise.

     On August 27, 1991, the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership,
initiated a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Cook County (County Department,
Chancery Division), Illinois against The Walt Disney Company ("Disney").
The litigation arose out of the Partnership's acquisition of substantially
all of the real estate and other assets of Arvida Corporation, a subsidiary
of Disney, in September 1987.  In the complaint filed on its behalf, the
Partnership alleged that under the terms of the contract with Disney for
the acquisition, the purchase price of the assets was to be reduced by the
amount of certain payments made prior to the closing (the "Closing") of the
transaction out of funds of Arvida Corporation in order to satisfy certain
obligations that were not assumed by the Partnership.  The complaint also
alleged that the contract entitled the Partnership to (i) reimbursement by
Disney for amounts advanced by the Partnership to pay certain other claimed
obligations of Arvida Corporation, including certain post-Closing
adjustments, in connection with the acquisition and (ii) indemnification by
Disney for additional costs and expenses incurred by the Partnership
subsequent to the Closing in order to remedy certain environmental
conditions that existed prior to the Closing.  The complaint further
alleged that the Partnership had made various demands on Disney for payment
of these amounts and that Disney had refused to make such payments.  The
Partnership sought declaratory judgments that the Partnership was entitled
to a purchase price reduction from Disney and reimbursement or
indemnification by Disney for amounts advanced or costs and expenses
incurred by the Partnership for certain obligations of Arvida Corporation,
together with interest on all such amounts and costs.  During the second
quarter of 1992, the Partnership received approximately $0.8 million in
settlement of portions of this claim.  During July 1993, Disney filed an
answer denying the substantive allegations of the Partnership's complaint


<PAGE>


and raising various affirmative defenses.  In addition, Disney filed a
three count counterclaim in which it sought among other things:  a complete
accounting of liabilities allegedly assumed but not discharged by the
Partnership to ascertain whether certain funds, not to exceed $2.9 million,
were due Disney in accordance with the purchase agreement; an unspecified
amount of damages exceeding $500,000 allegedly representing workers
compensation and warranty payments made by Disney, which Disney alleged
were obligations of the Partnership; an accounting for funds disbursed from
a claims pool in the amount of $3,000,000 established by the parties; and
attorney fees and costs.  On May 28, 1999, the Partnership entered into an
agreement with Disney which resolved all the claims and counterclaims
raised in the litigation.  Under the terms of the settlement agreement,
Disney, among other things, paid the Partnership $9.0 million and released
any claims relating to the claims pool.  The lawsuit was dismissed on
June 3, 1999, pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement.

     Other than as described above, the Partnership is not subject to any
material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation
incidental to the business of the Partnership.
