                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                 March 31, 1998


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,
                  1998,  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, 1997 through  March 31, 1997,
and January 1, 1998 through March 31, 1998.

         For the quarter  ended March 31, 1998,  the Company had total income of
$246,000  compared  to  $130,000  for the quarter  ended  March 31,  1997.  This
increase was primarily attributable to an increase in interest on mortgages from
$101,000 to  $138,000,  an increase in  earnings  on  temporary  investments  of
$27,000,  and an increase in unrealized gains of $58,000.  Such increases can be
attributed to an increase in the mortgage  portfolio plus an increase in cash on
hand resulting from the sale of real estate  properties  plus payoffs of certain
mortgages.  The  investment  appreciation  resulted  from  marking to market the
unregistered stock received by the Company in 1997.

         The Company  expenses  decreased to  approximately  $49,000  during the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 from approximately  $59,000 in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997. This decrease is primarily  attributable to a decrease of $8,000 in
professional services, and a decrease of $5,000 in property taxes.

         The  Company  reported  income  before  gain on sale of  properties  of
$197,000  for the  quarter  ended  March 31,  1998,  compared to $72,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1997.  The Company  reported gains on sale of properties
of $70,000 for 1998 compared to $0 for 1997. The Company  reported net income of
$267,000  for the  quarter  ended  March 31,  1998,  compared to $72,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1997.

         For the operating period of January 1, 1998 through March 31, 1998, the
Company  reported an increase in cash and temporary  investments  of $1,579,000.
Such increase  resulted  primarily  from the Company  receiving cash payments on
land sales of $684,000,  principal  payments on  mortgages of $705,000,  and the
partial return of an investment in a partnership of $76,000.

         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 adopted the
new standard in its 1997 year-end  financial  statements.  All  prior-period EPS
information,  including  interim  EPS,  was  required to be  restated,  however,
because of the simple capital structure of the Company,  SFAS 128 did not have a
material impact on the Company's  reported EPS, and did not have a change on EPS
in the first quarter of 1997.

         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 two land sales  during the first  quarter of 1998.  The
first sale  resulted  from the sale of a 1 acre  parcel of  property  located in
Phoenix, Arizona, which the Company acquired through foreclosure on Loan No. 17.
The Company received  $495,000 in cash from this sale. The second sale was a 635
acre parcel of land which the Company acquired through foreclosure on Loan No.3.
The Company received a note for $853,000 and $189,000 in cash from this sale.

         In addition  to the  above-referenced  two 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. 2 and Loan No. 11.  Both of these  parcels  are in
escrow and are  scheduled to close in the second and third  quarters of 1998. If
such sales are consummated, the Company should receive $840,000 in cash or notes
receivable,  however,  there  can  be no  assurance  that  such  sales  will  be
consummated.

         In January of 1998,  the Company  received a cash payoff of $557,000 on
Loan No. 3. In February 1998, the Company also received a cash payoff of $54,000
on Loan No. 17-1. These collections were in addition to periodic  collections of
principal on other notes.

         On March 27, 1998,  the Company  declared a dividend of $.10 per share,
payable April 15, 1998 to shareholders of record April 7, 1998.

         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 intended 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 11,  1998,  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.
