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

     Scottsdale  Land  Trust  Limited  Partnership  (the  Registrant)   received
$50,000,000 in gross proceeds from its public  offering of the Units on November
23,  1988.  After  deducting  organizational  and offering  expenses,  including
selling expenses,  the financial advisory fee, property  acquisition fee and due
diligence expense reimbursement,  the Registrant had $43,250,000 in net proceeds
available  for  investment.  The net proceeds were used to purchase the property
(The Perimeter Center), fund the construction of the infrastructure and fund the
$8.5  million  loan to  Franchise  Finance  Corporation  of America  (FFCA),  in
accordance with the partnership agreement.  Pursuant to the loan agreement, FFCA
makes monthly payments of interest only to the Registrant and is current on such
payments.  All unexpended funds are invested in U.S.  Government Agency discount
notes and bank  repurchase  agreements  (which  are  secured  by  United  States
Treasury and  Government  obligations).  Reserves  remaining  in the  Registrant
approximate  $1.3 million.  These  reserves may be used from time to time to pay
amounts assessed by the city or county taxing  authorities for  developmental or
other  costs.  Aside from the sale of land  parcels,  the  Registrant's  primary
sources of  revenue  are  interest  payments  received  from FFCA under the loan
agreement and interest earned on the Registrant's temporary investments.

     During the quarter ended June 30, 1997 (the period),  the  Registrant  sold
three land parcels  aggregating 10.3 acres to unaffiliated third parties.  These
transactions  provided  for an  aggregate  cash sales  price of  $3,030,548,  an
aggregate  original cost of $1,513,516  and closing and other costs of $261,898,
resulting in a gain of $1,255,134 for the period.

     The  Registrant  declared a cash  distribution  to the limited  partners of
$2,768,650 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 (to be paid in August 1997) which
represents  the  net  cash  proceeds  from  the  above-mentioned  parcel  sales.
Year-to-date distributions declared totaled $5,435,922.  During the period, cash
proceeds  from the land  parcel  sales were  invested  in  temporary  investment
securities pending distribution to the limited partners.

     Land  sales  revenues  comprise  the  majority  of total  revenues  for the
quarters  ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. The average sales price per acre of land
sold during the period  increased  10% to  approximately  $295,500 per acre from
approximately  $268,200 per acre for the comparable  period of 1996.  Land sales
revenues were higher in 1997 than in 1996 primarily  because the Registrant sold
10.3 acres of land  during the  quarter  ended June 30,  1997 as compared to 1.6
acres sold during the quarter ended June 30, 1996.  The  Registrant is currently
in negotiations with unaffiliated third parties for the sale of approximately 60
acres of land (representing one-third of the land originally held for sale) with
prices  ranging from $6.00 to $10.00 per square  foot.  The timing of land sales
varies from quarter to quarter and the Registrant  cannot  determine  which,  if
any,  of  these  negotiations  will  result  in the sale of a land  parcel  and;
therefore,  cannot predict the timing or amount of any future cash  distribution
from such sale proceeds.  Interest and other income  increased by $22,522 due to
the  increase  in  temporary  investment  securities  held  during  the  period,
resulting from a higher average cash balance  invested in the June 1997 quarter,
prior to distribution of cash to the limited partners.

     Total expenses for the period  increased by $1,417,008  from the comparable
period  of  the  prior  year  due  to  increases  in  the  cost  of  land  sales
($1,462,078),  offset  partially by decreases in general  partner fees ($5,536),
marketing  expenses ($25,980) and other operating  expenses  ($10,935).  General
partner fees  decreased  during the period  because the fees are based on Assets
Under Management,  as defined in the partnership  agreement,  and as parcels are
sold the general partner fees will be reduced  accordingly.  Marketing  expenses
vary from quarter to quarter based primarily on the timing of various  marketing
and promotional  events planned for the period.  The decrease in other operating
expenses resulted primarily from a decrease in repairs and maintenance costs. In
January 1997, the Perimeter Center Owners'  Association (the Association)  began
paying for all repairs and maintenance  required at the Perimeter  Center and is
assessing common area maintenance fees to all of the land
<PAGE>

owners within the Perimeter Center (including the Registrant). The Registrant is
charged a common area  maintenance  fee (based on square  footage  owned) by the
Association and this has resulted in a decrease in repairs and maintenance costs
of  approximately  $8,200  during the period  over the same  period of the prior
year.

     In the opinion of management,  the financial  information  included in this
report  reflects  all  adjustments  necessary  for fair  presentation.  All such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
