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 March 31, 1997 (the period),  the Registrant sold
four land parcels  aggregating 10.1 acres to unaffiliated  third parties.  These
transactions  provided  for an  aggregate  cash sales  price of  $2,894,380,  an
aggregate  original cost of $1,763,934  and closing and other costs of $227,108,
resulting in a total gain of $903,338 for the period.

      The Registrant  declared a cash  distribution  to the limited  partners of
$2,667,272  for the quarter  ended March 31, 1997 (to be paid in May 1997) which
represents the net cash proceeds from the  above-mentioned  parcel sales. 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 March 31 ,1997 and 1996. The average sales price per acre of land
sold  during  1997  increased  33%  to  approximately  $286,600  per  acre  from
approximately  $215,000 per acre for the comparable period of 1996.  Despite the
increase in average land sales price per acre,  land sales  revenues were higher
in 1996 than in 1997 because the  Registrant  sold 16.6 acres of land during the
quarter  ended  March 31, 1996 as compared to 10.1 acres sold during the quarter
ended March 31,  1997.  The timing of land sales  varies from quarter to quarter
and, although the Registrant  continued  negotiations during the quarter for the
sale of several of the smaller land parcels located within The Perimeter Center,
it 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  decreased  by $21,283 due to the decrease in
temporary investment securities held during the period,  resulting from a higher
average cash balance  invested in the March 1996 quarter,  prior to distribution
of cash to the limited partners.

       Total  expenses for the period  decreased by $62,987 from the  comparable
period of the prior year due to decreases  in the cost of land sales  ($76,469),
general partner fees ($4,492) and marketing expenses ($24,652), offset partially
by an increase in other  operating  expenses  ($41,787).  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  increase in other  operating
expenses resulted primarily from increased legal fees and maintenance costs.

      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.
