Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Overview

Retail  Equity  Partners  Limited  Partnership  ("the  Partnership")  is a North
Carolina limited  partnership formed to acquire,  hold, operate and manage three
neighborhood  shopping  centers.  In October,  1991 the  ownership of one of the
shopping  centers was  transferred  to a newly  formed  partnership,  New Market
Square  Limited  Partnership  ("NMSLP").  The  Partnership  is the sole  general
partner and holds a 99.99 percent interest in NMSLP. In February 1996 New Market
Square Shopping Center was sold to an unaffiliated party.

The  following  discussion  should  be read in  conjunction  with the  financial
statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the
Partnership's  Current  Report  on Form 8-K  dated  February  8,  1996,  and the
Partnership's  audited  financial  statements and notes thereto  included in the
Partnership's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Results of Operations

Effective  February 8, 1996,  the  Partnership  sold New Market Square  Shopping
Center ("NMS") to an unaffiliated  party for a contract price of $6,558,000.  At
December  31,  1995,  the  Partnership  had  recorded a reserve of $510,000  for
writedown of NMS to estimated net realizable value. During first quarter of 1996
the  Partnership  recorded  an  additional  provision  for  loss on the  sale of
approximately  $19,000.  NMSLP is currently winding up liquidation of its assets
and liabilities.

The  consolidated  statements of operations  for the three months ended June 30,
1996  include the  operations  of NMSLP.  Decreases  in revenues and expenses in
second quarter of 1996 compared to 1995 generally reflect the effect the of sale
of NMS in early  February.  Summary  operating  results of Cape Henry  Plaza and
Plaza West shopping centers are as follows:

</TABLE>

Both Plaza West and Cape Henry Plaza shopping  centers were 100 percent occupied
throughout  second quarter 1996,  compared to 100 percent and  approximately  94
percent,  respectively,  in  second  quarter  1995.  The  increase  in  property
operations  expense is primarily  attributable to resurfacing of the parking lot
at Plaza West.  The  increase in general and  administrative  costs is primarily
attributable to partnership administration fees (retroactive to January 1, 1996)
recorded in second quarter 1996.

The  Partnership  experienced  a net loss of  $41,000  in  second  quarter  1996
compared  to $96,000  for the same period in 1995.  The  decrease  is  primarily
attributable to the sale of NMS, which generated significant operating losses in
1995. (See notes to financial statements included in this report.)

Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Partnership has long-term financing on both
remaining  shopping  centers.  These  first  mortgage  loans  mature in 1998 and
require monthly principal reduction.

The two remaining  shopping centers continue to generate positive cash flow from
operations.  The leases held by the  Partnership are generally  long-term,  with
substantially  all increases in operating  expenses,  taxes and insurance passed
through to, and paid by,  tenants.  Additionally,  most leases include  built-in
rent increases based on changes in the consumer price index or percentage  rents
based on total sales.  The Partnership  should have sufficient cash flow to meet
its capital needs.

The Partnership made no capital  expenditures during the second quarter of 1996.
During second quarter 1996, the Partnership made a distribution in the amount of
$297,985 to the limited partners from net proceeds of the sale of NMS.  However,
other distributions have been suspended until property operations allow.
