                               September 30, 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.  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 and nine  months  ended
               September 30, 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 July 1, 1998 through  September 30, 1998,
and January 1, 1998 through September 30, 1998

         For the quarter ended  September 30, 1998, the Company had total income
of $177,000  compared to $279,000 for the quarter ended  September 30, 1997. The
total income for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, included an extraordinary
gain of $75,000  which  resulted  from  compensation  received  on a bridge loan
transaction by the Company.  Without this gain, the income for the quarter ended
September 30, 1997 would have been $204,000.

         The Company's  expenses for the quarter  ended  September 30, 1998 were
$38,000  compared to $38,000 for the  quarter  ended  September  30,  1997.  The
Company paid income taxes of $65,500 in the third quarter of 1997.

         The  Company  reported  net income of $281,000  for the  quarter  ended
September  30, 1998  compared to $175,000 for the quarter  ended  September  30,
1997.  This increase was primarily  attributable to a gain on sale of properties
of $142,000. Without this sale, the Company's income would have been $139,000.

         The Company reported total income of $592,000 for the nine months ended
September  30, 1998 compared to $543,000 for the same period in the prior fiscal
year.  This  increase  can be  attributed  to an increase in mortgage  income of
$57,000,  an increase in  temporary  investments  income of $21,000  offset by a
decrease in farm income of $28,000.

         For the nine months ended  September 30, 1998,  the Company's  expenses
totaled  $146,000  compared to $144,000  for the same period in the prior fiscal
year.  The Company  reported  net income of $658,000  for the nine months  ended
September 30, 1998 compared to $778,000 in 1997.

         The Company  reported an increase in cash and temporary  investments of
$1,873,000.  This increase  resulted  primarily from $853,000 cash proceeds from
land sales and  $1,057,000  principal  payments  received under  mortgages.  The
Company also distributed  $472,000 in cash dividends during the operating period
of January 1, 1998 through September 30, 1998.

         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 in this regard.
Nonetheless,  the Company  will  continue to  vigorously  assert any and all its
legal rights in the event of a default.

         The Company  completed three land sales during the period of January 1,
1998 through  September  30, 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.  The third  sale was a 33 acre
parcel of raw land in Chandler,  Arizona. This property was acquired through the
foreclosure on Loan No. 2. The Company received  $168,000 in cash and a note for
$649,000 from this sale.

         In July of 1998, the Company received a cash payoff of $256,000 on Loan
No. 9. 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.

         The Company has two sales pending for parcels of land which the Company
obtained as a result of the foreclosure on Loan No. 11 and Loan No. 19.

         On September 18, 1998,  the Company  declared a $.10 per share dividend
with a record  date of October 1, 1998,  and payable on October  15,  1998.  The
total amount distributed to shareholders was approximately $236,000.  During the
second  quarter  of  1998,  the  Company  paid a  dividend  of $.10  per  share,
distributed to  shareholders  of record on July 1, 1998,  with a payable date of
July 15,  1998.  The Company also paid a dividend of $.10 per share on April 15,
1998, distributed to shareholders of record on April 7, 1998.

         The Company has not yet completed its evaluation of the impact the Year
2000 computer  problem may have on its business.  However,  the Company does not
expect the  consequences of incomplete or untimely  resolution of the problem to
materially impact the operation of its business.

ITEM 2. (CONT.)



         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 November 4, 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.
