                                 MARCH 31, 2000


(1) SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

     As provided in the Partnership  agreement,  the Partnership entered into an
agreement on December 29, 1988 to sell  approximately five acres of the Property
(the Parcel) to FFCA at a purchase price determined by independent  appraisal to
be the fair market value of the unimproved Parcel and related  improvements.  In
connection with the sale agreement, the Partnership also funded the construction
of an office building on the Parcel that is the corporate  headquarters of FFCA.
This loan to FFCA for the acquisition of the Parcel, the office building and the
parcel improvements  totaled $8.5 million. On May 1, 2000, this loan matured and
the principal,  together with accrued interest, was paid. In addition, FFCA paid
Additional  Interest  in the amount of $1.13  million,  as  provided in the loan
agreement.

     The  sale  of the  Parcel  to  FFCA  was  recognized  in the  Partnership's
financial  statements on May 1, 2000 when the amounts loaned to FFCA were repaid
to the Partnership.

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 has made monthly payments to the Registrant
of interest only, through maturity of the loan on May 1, 2000, at which time the
principal balance of the loan was paid off, together with accrued interest,  and
Additional  Interest in the amount of $1.13 million.  Reserves  remaining in the
Registrant are approximately $2 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 have
been land sales,  interest  payments received from FFCA under the loan agreement
(interest payments were made through May 1, 2000 at which time the loan was paid
in full) 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. As of May 3, 2000,
all land parcels were sold or are under contract for sale. A proxy statement was
filed with the Securities and Exchange  Commission in April 2000,  requesting an
investor  vote on the sale of a parcel of property to a related party and on the
dissolution  of the  partnership  upon  sale  of  the  remaining  parcels  under
contract.

     During the quarter ended March 31, 2000 (the period), the Registrant closed
two land sale transactions comprising three parcels aggregating approximately 13
acres to  unaffiliated  third  parties.  The land sale  transactions  during the
period provided cash sale proceeds of  approximately  $6.6 million.  The parcels
had a total  original  cost of $3.1  million  and  closing  and  other  costs of
approximately  $328,000.  These parcel  sales  resulted in gains  totaling  $3.2
million.  Distributions  declared from the parcel sale net proceeds  amounted to
approximately $6.3 million for the period.

     At May 3, 2000, the four remaining  land parcels  (approximately  34 acres)
were all under  contract  for sale at  prices  aggregating  approximately  $17.8
million.  The original  cost of these four parcels  totaled  approximately  $5.1
million.  Three of the parcels are under contract to unaffiliated  third parties
and one  parcel  is under  contract  with a related  party.  The  related  party
contract was entered into on February 7, 2000 with Franchise Finance Corporation
of  America,  an  affiliate  of  the  General  Partner,  to  purchase  a  parcel
(approximately 3.6 acres) adjacent to its corporate  headquarters.  This sale is
subject  to the  approval,  by vote,  of the  majority  of the  limited  partner
interest of the Partnership. Additionally, all of these contracts are subject to
a due diligence process and, therefore,  the Registrant cannot predict which, if
any of these contracts will result in the sale of a land parcel or the timing or
the amount of any future  cash  distributions.  Once the  remaining  parcels are
sold,  the  Partnership  will  liquidate and distribute its assets in accordance
with the Partnership agreement.

     Total  revenues were  approximately  $7 million for the quarter ended March
31, 2000 as compared to  approximately  $238,000 for the  comparable  quarter in
1999.  Revenues in 2000 were higher because land sales comprised the majority of
the  revenues in 2000 and there were no land sales  during the first  quarter of
1999.  Interest on  investments  and other  income for the period  increased  by
approximately  $164,000 from the comparable quarter of the prior year due to the
increase in temporary  investment  securities held during the period. The higher
cash  balance in 2000  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) decreased by approximately  $18,000
for the period over the  comparable  period of the prior year due  primarily  to
lower  property  taxes and lower  general  partner  fees due to the sale of land
parcels.  These  reductions  were offset by costs related to the Proxy Statement
filed in April 2000.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

     The financial  instruments held by the Registrant at March 31, 2000 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.
