                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                 March 31, 1997


Note 1            Basis of  Presentation  - The financial  statements  have been
                  prepared by Arizona Land Income  Corporation  (the  "Company")
                  without  audit,  pursuant to the rules and  regulations of the
                  Securities  and Exchange  Commission and the  instructions  to
                  Form  10-QSB.  In the opinion of the  Company,  the  unaudited
                  financial  statements  contain all adjustments  (consisting of
                  only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly
                  the financial  position,  the results of  operations  and cash
                  flows for the periods presented.


Note 2            The results of operations for the three months ended March 31,
                  1997,  are not  necessarily  indicative  of the  results to be
                  expected for the full year.

Note 3            See Item 2, Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations  for a  discussion  of
                  mortgages in default.  It is the  Company's  normal  policy to
                  discontinue the accrual of interest for notes in default as of
                  the default date.

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

         Arizona  Land  Income   Corporation   (the  "Company")  is  an  Arizona
corporation which has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (a
"REIT") under the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986.  The  statements of operations
filed  herewith  cover the periods from January 1, 1996 through  March 31, 1996,
and January 1, 1997 through March 31, 1997.

         For the quarter  ended March 31, 1997,  the Company had total income of
$130,000  compared  to  $153,000  for the quarter  ended  March 31,  1996.  This
decrease was primarily  attributable to a decrease in interest on mortgages from
$125,000  to  $101,000,  which  resulted  from  a  reduction  in  the  Company's
portfolio.

         The Company  expenses  decreased to  approximately  $59,000  during the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 from approximately $105,000 in the first quarter of
fiscal 1996. This decrease is primarily  attributable to a decrease of $8,500 in
administrative  and  general  expenses,  and a decrease  of $30,000 in  property
taxes.

         The Company  reported net income of $72,000 for the quarter ended March
31, 1997, compared to $48,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

         For the  operating  period of January 1, 1997  through  March 31, 1997,
cash flow  provided by operating  activities  totaled  $160,000 and consisted of
$87,000  from a  decrease  in  accrued  interest  and an  increase  of $1,000 in
accounts payable and other liabilities plus net income.

         For the  operating  period of January 1, 1997  through  March 31, 1997,
cash flow used in investing activities totaled $115,000 and consisted of $72,000
of principal payments received on its mortgage portfolio offset by $187,000 paid
pursuant to an agreement on one of its properties.

         In February  1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No. 128,  "Earnings  per
Share." The new standard  simplifies the computation of earnings per share (EPS)
and increases comparability to international  standards. The Company is required
to adopt the new  standard in its fiscal  year 1997  financial  statements.  All
prior-period EPS information,  including interim EPS, is required to be restated
at that time;  however,  because of the simple capital structure of the Company,
SFAS 128 is not exkpected to have a material  impact on the  Company's  reported
EPS,  and on a pro forma  basis  would not have  changed EPS in either the first
quarter of 1997 or in 1996.

         Adverse market conditions negatively affected real estate values in the
Southwest  during the early 1990's  resulting in a decline in real estate values
and an increase in mortgage defaults. The Southwest real estate market has begun
to improve and land values have  stabilized  and improved in certain  instances.
The  Company  believes  that such  improvements  will  reduce the number of loan
defaults or modifications; however, there can be no assurances. Nonetheless, the
Company will continue to  vigorously  assert any and all its legal rights in the
event of a default.

         The Company had no land sales during the first  quarter of 1997 but, as
of the date of this report,  the Company has  completed  three land sales during
the second  quarter of 1997.  The first sale resulted from the sale of a 15 acre
parcel of property  located in  Phoenix,  Arizona,  which the  Company  acquired
through foreclosure on Loan No. 10. This sale netted the Company $1,086,000 cash
and a note receivable  totaling  $965,000.  The second sale was an 8 acre parcel
which  had  secured  Loan No. 17 and was  received  through  foreclosure  by the
Company.  This sale netted the Company  $949,000 cash. The third sale was a 3.36
acre parcel of property which the Company acquired  through  foreclosure on Loan
No. 17. This sale netted the Company $623,000 cash.

         In addition to the  above-referenced  three land sales, the Company has
sales pending for two parcels of land which the Company  obtained as a result of
the  foreclosure  on Loan No. 17.  Both of these  parcels  are in escrow and are
scheduled to close in the second and third  quarters of 1997.  If such sales are
consummated,  the Company should receive  $900,000 in cash or notes  receivable,
however, there can be no assurance that such sales will be consummated.

         The Company  believes  that funds  generated  from  operations  will be
sufficient  to meet its capital  requirements.  No other  arrangements,  such as
lines of credit, have been made to obtain external sources of capital.  While no
assurance can be given,  the Company  believes that such  arrangements  could be
obtained by the Company, if necessary.

         As disclosed in the Company's  prospectus  used in connection  with the
Company's 1988 initial public  offering,  the Company intends to dissolve within
approximately  eight  years from the date of such public  offering.  The precise
date on which the Company will  dissolve  will be  determined  by the  Company's
Board of Directors and will depend upon market  conditions  and other  pertinent
factors. The Board of Directors also has the discretion to indefinitely continue
the  operation  of the  Company.  As of May 20,  1997,  the Board has not made a
decision regarding the dissolution of the Company.

         The  mortgage  loan  numbers  referred to in the above  paragraphs  are
identifiers   for  those  loans  on  the  books  and  records  of  the  Company.
Additionally,  these numbers are  identified in the Company's  initial  offering
prospectus dated June 6, 1988.
