PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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, 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. The entire principal balance of
the loan is due in May 2000, or earlier if all of The Perimeter Center land
parcels are sold prior to that date. Reserves remaining in the Registrant are
approximately $1.8 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. The Registrant's primary sources of revenue are land sales,
interest payments received from FFCA under the loan agreement and interest
earned on the Registrant's temporary investments. As land parcels are sold,
distributions of the net cash sale proceeds are made in accordance with the
partnership agreement. Once all of The Perimeter Center parcels are sold, the
Registrant will liquidate all of its other assets and distribute them in
accordance with the partnership agreement.

     During the quarter ended March 31, 1999 (the period), the Registrant closed
no land sale transactions; therefore, there were no cash distributions declared.
At March 31, 1999, the Registrant had three parcels of land (approximately
fifteen acres) under contract for sale, at a price aggregating approximately $7
million, to two unaffiliated third parties. The original cost of the parcels
totaled approximately $3.1 million. Approximately 70 acres (excluding the
parcels in escrow) remain available for sale within The Perimeter Center and the
Registrant has entered into preliminary negotiations for the sale of several of
the remaining land parcels. 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 distributions.

     Total revenues were approximately  $238,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
1999 as compared to approximately $2 million for the comparable quarter in 1998.
Revenues  in the 1998  quarter  were higher  because  land sales  comprised  the
majority of the revenues in 1998.  Interest on investments  and other income for
the period decreased by approximately  $24,000 from the comparable period of the
prior year due to the decrease in temporary  investment  securities  held during
the March 1999  quarter.  The higher cash balance in the 1998  quarter  resulted
from net land sale proceeds held during that quarter  prior to  distribution  of
the cash to the limited  partners.  Total  expenses  (excluding the cost of land
sales)  increased by  approximately  $11,000 for the period over the  comparable
period of the  prior  year due  primarily  to an  increase  in  property  taxes.
Property  taxes  increased,  despite  the sale of land  parcels  during the past
twelve months, due to higher assessed land values.

     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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

     The financial instruments held by the Registrant at March 31, 1999 consist
of cash equivalents and a loan receivable from an affiliate. The Registrant
intends to hold the investments to maturity; therefore, these financial
instruments do not subject the Registrant to a material exposure to changes in
interest rates.
