     by  the Partnership, without audit, pursuant to the rules  and
     regulations  of  the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  and
     reflect   all  adjustments  which  are,  in  the  opinion   of
     management,  necessary to a fair statement of the  results  of
     operations for the interim period, on a basis consistent  with
     the  annual audited statements.  The adjustments made to these
     condensed   statements  consist  only  of   normal   recurring

     statements  prepared  in  accordance with  generally  accepted
     accounting principles have been condensed or omitted  pursuant
     to  such  rules  and  regulations,  although  the  Partnership
     believes  that  the  disclosures  are  adequate  to  make  the
     information  presented not misleading.  It is  suggested  that
     these  condensed financial statements be read  in  conjunction
     with  the  financial statements and the summary of significant
     accounting  policies  and  notes  thereto  included   in   the

     General Partner.  Robert P. Johnson, the President and  sole
     shareholder of AFM, serves as the Individual General Partner
     and  an  affiliate of AFM, AEI Fund Management, Inc.  (AEI),
     performs the administrative and operating functions for  the
     Partnership.

     The   terms   of  the  Partnership  offering  call   for   a
     subscription  price of $1,000 per Limited Partnership  Unit,
     payable   on  acceptance  of  the  offer.   The  Partnership
     commenced  operations  on February  15,  1989  when  minimum
     subscriptions    of   1,500   Limited   Partnership    Units
     ($1,500,000)   were   accepted.   The  offering   terminated
     December  4, 1990 when the extended offering period expired.
     The Partnership received subscriptions for 22,783.05 Limited
     Partnership Units ($22,783,050).

     Under  the  terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement,  the
     Limited  Partners and General Partners contributed funds  of
     $22,783,050,  and $1,000, respectively.  During  operations,
     any  Net  Cash Flow, as defined, which the General  Partners
     determine  to  distribute will be  distributed  90%  to  the
     Limited  Partners and 10% to the General Partners; provided,
     however,  that  such distributions to the  General  Partners
     will be subordinated to the Limited Partners first receiving
     an annual, noncumulative distribution of Net Cash Flow equal
     to  10%  of their Adjusted Capital Contribution, as defined,
     and,  provided  further, that in no event will  the  General
     Partners  receive  less than 1% of such Net  Cash  Flow  per
     annum.   Distributions to Limited Partners will be made  pro
     rata by Units.

(2)  Organization - (Continued)

     Any  Net  Proceeds  of Sale, as defined, from  the  sale  or
     financing of properties which the General Partners determine
     to distribute will, after provisions for debts and reserves,
     be  paid  in  the following manner:  (i) first, 99%  to  the
     Limited  Partners and 1% to the General Partners  until  the
     Limited  Partners  receive an amount  equal  to:  (a)  their
     Adjusted Capital Contribution plus (b) an amount equal to 6%
     of their Adjusted Capital Contribution per annum, cumulative
     but not compounded, to the extent not previously distributed
     from  Net  Cash Flow; (ii) next, 99% to the Limited Partners
     and  1%  to the General Partners until the Limited  Partners
     receive  an  amount equal to 14% of their  Adjusted  Capital
     Contribution  per annum, cumulative but not  compounded,  to
     the  extent not previously distributed; (iii) next,  to  the
     General  Partners  until  cumulative  distributions  to  the
     General  Partners under Items (ii) and (iii)  equal  15%  of
     cumulative  distributions to all Partners under  Items  (ii)
     and (iii).  Any remaining balance will be distributed 85% to
     the  Limited  Partners  and  15% to  the  General  Partners.
     Distributions to the Limited Partners will be made pro  rata
     by Units.

     For  tax  purposes,  profits  from  operations,  other  than
     profits  attributable  to  the  sale,  exchange,  financing,
     refinancing  or  other  disposition  of  property,  will  be
     allocated  first  in the same ratio in  which,  and  to  the
     extent,  Net  Cash Flow is distributed to the  Partners  for
     such year.  Any additional profits will be allocated 90%  to
     the  Limited  Partners and 10% to the General Partners.   In
     the  event  no Net Cash Flow is distributed to  the  Limited
     Partners,  90%  of each item of income, gain or  credit  for
     each  respective  year  shall be allocated  to  the  Limited
     Partners,  and 10% of each such item shall be  allocated  to
     the  General Partners.  Net losses from operations  will  be
     allocated 98% to the Limited Partners and 2% to the  General
     Partners.

     For  tax purposes, profits arising from the sale, financing,
     or  other  disposition  of property  will  be  allocated  in
     accordance  with the Partnership Agreement as  follows:  (i)
     first,  to  those  Partners with deficit balances  in  their
     capital  accounts  in an amount equal to  the  sum  of  such
     deficit  balances; (ii) second, 99% to the Limited  Partners
     and  1%  to the General Partners until the aggregate balance
     in  the Limited Partners' capital accounts equals the sum of
     the Limited Partners' Adjusted Capital Contributions plus an
     amount  equal to 14% of their Adjusted Capital Contributions
     per  annum, cumulative but not compounded, to the extent not
     previously  allocated; (iii) third, to the General  Partners
     until  cumulative allocations to the General Partners  equal
     15%  of cumulative allocations.  Any remaining balance  will
     be  allocated  85% to the Limited Partners and  15%  to  the
     General  Partners.   Losses will be  allocated  98%  to  the
     Limited Partners and 2% to the General Partners.

     The  General Partners are not required to currently  fund  a
     deficit   capital   balance.   Upon   liquidation   of   the
     Partnership or withdrawal by a General Partner, the  General
     Partners will contribute to the Partnership an amount  equal
     to  the  lesser  of  the deficit balances in  their  capital
     accounts  or  1%  of  total Limited  Partners'  and  General
     Partners' capital contributions.

(3)  Investments in Real Estate -

     In  October,  1999,  the  Partnership  abandoned  a  Rally's
     property  in order to avoid ongoing expenses.  In the  third
     quarter  of  1999, the Partnership recorded  a  real  estate
     impairment of $125,531, which is equal to the net book value
     of  the  abandoned property.  Additionally,  in  the  fourth
     quarter  of  1999, the Partnership recorded  a  real  estate
     impairment of $124,188, which is equal to the net book value
     of   the  remaining  Rally's,  due  to  the  uncertainty  of
     retaining  a  tenant in the property.  The  abandonment  and
     impairment  of  the two properties did not have  a  material
     effect   on   the  Partnership's  cash  flow  or   financial
     statements.

     In  December, 1998, Gulf Coast Restaurants, Inc. (GCR),  the
     lessee  of  the Applebee's restaurant in Slidell, Louisiana,
     filed  for  reorganization.  GCR is continuing to  make  the
     lease  payments to the Partnership under the supervision  of
     the  bankruptcy  court while they develop  a  reorganization
     plan.   If  the Lease is assumed, GCR must comply  with  all
     Lease  terms and any unpaid rent must be paid.  If the Lease
     is  rejected,  GCR will be required to return possession  of
     the property to the Partnership and past due amounts will be
     dismissed  and the Partnership will be responsible  for  re-
     leasing  the  property.  At March 31, 2000, GCR owed  $7,100
     for   rent  due  prior  to  the  date  of  the  filing   for
     reorganization.  An analysis of the operating statements  of
     this property indicate that it is generating profits.  It is
     management's  belief that the Lease will be assumed  by  GCR
     and  that, ultimately, the property will be purchased  by  a
     different operator, approved by the bankruptcy court,  at  a
     price exceeding the property's book value.

     On August 28, 1998, the Partnership purchased a 38% interest
     in  a parcel of land in Centerville, Ohio for $703,376.  The
     land is leased to Americana Dining Corporation (ADC) under a
     Lease  Agreement with a primary term of 20 years and  annual
     rental  payments of $49,236.  Effective December  25,  1998,
     the  annual  rent was increased to $73,854.   Simultaneously
     with  the purchase of the land, the Partnership entered into
     a   Development   Financing  Agreement   under   which   the
     Partnership  will advance funds to ADC for the  construction
     of  a  Champps Americana restaurant on the site.  Initially,
     the  Partnership charged interest on the advances at a  rate
     of  7%.  Effective December 25, 1998, the interest rate  was
     increased  to  10.5%.   On  January  27,  1999,  after   the
     development  was completed, the Lease Agreement was  amended
     to   require  annual  rental  payments  of  $154,075.    The
     Partnership's   share  of  the  total   acquisition   costs,
     including  the  cost  of  the land,  were  $1,502,252.   The
     remaining  interests in the property are owned by  AEI  Real
     Estate  Fund XVII Limited Partnership, AEI Income  &  Growth
     Fund  XXI  Limited Partnership and AEI Income & Growth  Fund
     XXII Limited Partnership, affiliates of the Partnership.

     During  1999,  the  Partnership sold  its  interest  in  the
     HomeTown Buffet restaurant in three separate transactions to
     unrelated third parties.  The Partnership received total net
     sale proceeds of $423,600 which resulted in a total net gain
     of   $146,588.   The  total  cost  and  related  accumulated
     depreciation of the interests sold was $303,733 and $26,721,
     respectively.

     In April, 2000, the Partnership entered into an Agreement to
     sell  the Pasta Fair restaurant in Belleview, Florida to  an
     affiliate  of  the  lessee.   The  gross  proceeds  will  be
     approximately $740,000 which will result in a  net  gain  of
     approximately $36,000.

(4)  Payable to AEI Fund Management -

     AEI  Fund  Management, Inc. performs the administrative  and
     operating functions for the Partnership.  The payable to AEI
     Fund   Management  represents  the  balance  due  for  those
     services.    This  balance  is  non-interest   bearing   and
     unsecured  and  is  to  be  paid in  the  normal  course  of
     business.


ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Operations

        For  the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,  the
Partnership  recognized rental income of $483,095  and  $470,972,
respectively.   During the same periods, the  Partnership  earned
investment income of $8,917 and $8,478, respectively.   In  2000,
rental  income increased as a result of additional rent  received
from  one  property  acquisition in 1999 and  rent  increases  on
thirteen  properties.   These increases  in  rental  income  were
partially  offset  by  a decrease in rental  income  due  to  the
property sales discussed below.

        In  October,  1999, the Partnership abandoned  a  Rally's
property  in  order  to  avoid ongoing expenses.   In  the  third
quarter   of  1999,  the  Partnership  recorded  a  real   estate
impairment of $125,531, which is equal to the net book  value  of
the  abandoned property.  Additionally, in the fourth quarter  of
1999,  the  Partnership  recorded a  real  estate  impairment  of
$124,188,  which is equal to the net book value of the  remaining
Rally's,  due  to the uncertainty of retaining a  tenant  in  the
property.   The abandonment and impairment of the two  properties
did not have a material effect on the Partnership's cash flow  or
financial statements.

       In December, 1998, Gulf Coast Restaurants, Inc. (GCR), the
lessee of the Applebee's restaurant in Slidell, Louisiana,  filed
for reorganization.  GCR is continuing to make the lease payments
to  the Partnership under the supervision of the bankruptcy court
while  they  develop  a reorganization plan.   If  the  Lease  is
assumed, GCR must comply with all Lease terms and any unpaid rent
must be paid.  If the Lease is rejected, GCR will be required  to
return possession of the property to the Partnership and past due
amounts will be dismissed and the Partnership will be responsible
for  re-leasing the property.  At March 31, 2000, GCR owed $7,100
for  rent due prior to the date of the filing for reorganization.
An analysis of the operating statements of this property indicate
that  it  is generating profits.  It is management's belief  that
the  Lease  will  be  assumed by GCR and  that,  ultimately,  the
property  will be purchased by a different operator, approved  by
the  bankruptcy  court, at a price exceeding the property's  book
value.

       During the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, the
Partnership   paid   Partnership   administration   expenses   to
affiliated  parties of $64,507 and $63,761, respectively.   These
administration  expenses  include  costs  associated   with   the
management of the properties, processing distributions, reporting
requirements and correspondence to the Limited Partners.   During
the   same   periods,   the  Partnership   incurred   Partnership
administration  and property management expenses  from  unrelated
parties  of  $11,927 and $18,043, respectively.   These  expenses
represent  direct payments to third parties for legal and  filing
fees,  direct administrative costs, outside audit and  accounting
costs, taxes, insurance and other property costs.


ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS  (Continued)

        As  of March 31, 2000, the Partnership's annualized  cash
distribution  rate  was  7.0%,  based  on  the  Adjusted  Capital
Contribution.   Distributions of Net Cash  Flow  to  the  General
Partners were subordinated to the Limited Partners as required in
the Partnership Agreement.  As a result, 99% of distributions and
income  were allocated to Limited Partners and 1% to the  General
Partners.

        Inflation  has  had  a  minimal  effect  on  income  from
operations.   It is expected that increases in sales  volumes  of
the  tenants due to inflation and real sales growth, will  result
in  an  increase  in rental income over the term of  the  Leases.
Inflation  also  may  cause  the  Partnership's  real  estate  to
appreciate in value.  However, inflation and changing prices  may
also  have  an  adverse impact on the operating  margins  of  the
properties' tenants which could impair their ability to pay  rent
and subsequently reduce the Partnership's Net Cash Flow available
for distributions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        During  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2000,  the
Partnership's cash balances increased $177,183 as the Partnership
distributed  less  cash to the Partners than  it  generated  from
operating  activities.  Net cash provided by operating activities
increased from $511,699 in 1999 to $531,216 in 2000 mainly  as  a
result of an increase in income in 2000.

        The  major components of the Partnership's cash flow from
investing activities are investments in real estate and  proceeds
from  the  sale  of real estate.  During the three  months  ended
March 31, 1999, the Partnership generated cash flow from the sale
of  real  estate  of  $423,600.   During  the  same  period,  the
Partnership  expended  $337,666  to  invest  in  real  properties
(inclusive of acquisition expenses) as the Partnership reinvested
cash generated from property sales.

        On  August  28,  1998, the Partnership  purchased  a  38%
interest  in a parcel of land in Centerville, Ohio for  $703,376.
The land is leased to Americana Dining Corporation (ADC) under  a
Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years and annual rental
payments  of  $49,236.  Effective December 25, 1998,  the  annual
rent  was increased to $73,854.  Simultaneously with the purchase
of the land, the Partnership entered into a Development Financing
Agreement under which the Partnership will advance funds  to  ADC
for  the  construction of a Champps Americana restaurant  on  the
site.   Initially,  the  Partnership  charged  interest  on   the
advances  at  a  rate of 7%.  Effective December  25,  1998,  the
interest rate was increased to 10.5%.  On January 27, 1999, after
the development was completed, the Lease Agreement was amended to
require  annual  rental payments of $154,075.  The  Partnership's
share  of the total acquisition costs, including the cost of  the
land,  were $1,502,252.  The remaining interests in the  property
are  owned by AEI Real Estate Fund XVII Limited Partnership,  AEI
Income  &  Growth Fund XXI Limited Partnership and AEI  Income  &
Growth   Fund  XXII  Limited  Partnership,  affiliates   of   the
Partnership.

        During  1999,  the Partnership sold its interest  in  the
HomeTown  Buffet  restaurant in three  separate  transactions  to
unrelated third parties.  The Partnership received total net sale
proceeds  of  $423,600 which resulted in  a  total  net  gain  of
$146,588.  The total cost and related accumulated depreciation of
the interests sold was $303,733 and $26,721, respectively.

        In April, 2000, the Partnership entered into an Agreement
to  sell  the Pasta Fair restaurant in Belleview, Florida  to  an
affiliate   of   the   lessee.   The  gross  proceeds   will   be
approximately  $740,000  which will  result  in  a  net  gain  of
approximately $36,000.


ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS  (Continued)

       The Partnership's primary use of cash flow is distribution
and  redemption  payments to Partners.  The Partnership  declares
its  regular  quarterly  distributions before  the  end  of  each
quarter and pays the distribution in the first week after the end
of  each quarter.  The Partnership attempts to maintain a  stable
distribution  rate from quarter to quarter.  Redemption  payments
are  paid  to redeeming Partners on a quarterly basis.  Effective
January   1,  2000,  the  Partnership's  distribution  rate   was
increased  from  6.5% to 7.0%.  As a result,  distributions  were
higher  during the first three months of 2000, when  compared  to
the same period in 1999.

        The  Partnership may acquire Units from Limited  Partners
who have tendered their Units to the Partnership.  Such Units may
be  acquired at a discount.  The Partnership is not obligated  to
purchase  in  any  year  more than 5%  of  the  number  of  Units
outstanding at the beginning of the year.  In no event shall  the
Partnership  be  obligated to purchase  Units  if,  in  the  sole
discretion  of the Managing General Partner, such purchase  would
impair the capital or operation of the Partnership.

        On  April  1, 2000, sixteen Limited Partners  redeemed  a
total of 249.25 Partnership Units for $217,397 in accordance with
the  Partnership Agreement.  The Partnership acquired these Units
using Net Cash Flow from operations.  In prior years, a total  of
141  Limited  Partners  redeemed 2,157.32 Partnership  Units  for
$1,716,908  in  accordance with the Partnership  Agreement.   The
redemptions  increase the remaining Limited  Partners'  ownership
interest in the Partnership.

       The continuing rent payments from the properties, together
with  cash  generated from property sales, should be adequate  to
fund   continuing   distributions  and  meet  other   Partnership
obligations on both a short-term and long-term basis.

is  legally described on Exhibit "A" attached hereto, subject  to
all easements, covenants, conditions, restrictions and agreements
of  record  that do not affect marketability of title ("Permitted
Exceptions"), subject to the provisions of Buyer review of  title
as set forth below in paragraph 8.

3.  PURCHASE  PRICE.  The purchase price  for  this  Property  is
$740,000 cash based on the following terms:

4.  TERMS.  The purchase price for the Property will be  paid  by
Buyer as follows:

     (a)  When this agreement is executed, Buyer will pay $10,000
     in  cash  or  good  funds  (the "First  Payment")  to  First
     American  Title Insurance Company, Attn: Belinda Stephenson,
     216  NE  First  Avenue, Ocala, FL 34470  ("Escrowee").   The
     First  Payment  will be credited against the purchase  price
     when  and  if  escrow closes and the sale is  completed,  or
     otherwise disbursed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
     After  the  expiration of the Review Period  as  defined  in
     paragraph 6 below, the First Payment held for the account of
     Seller shall become non-refundable.

      (b)  Buyer will pay the balance of purchase price  for  the
Property,  $730,000  in  cash or       good  funds  (the  "Second
Payment"),  at  closing  to  the Escrowee  who  shall  close  the
transaction according to the terms hereof.

5.  CLOSING DATE.  Escrow shall close on or before the  thirtieth
day  after  the  Inspection  and  Feasibility  Study  Period   is
completed.

6.  DUE  DILIGENCE. Buyer will have until the expiration  of  the
ninetieth  day  after  delivery of the  signed  "Agreement"  (the
"Inspection and Feasibility Study Period"), to conduct all of its
inspections and due diligence and satisfy itself regarding  title
to  the  Property, and to inspect the Property. Buyer  agrees  to
indemnify  and  hold  harmless for any  loss  or  damage  to  the
Property or persons caused by Buyer or its agents arising out  of
such  physical  inspections  of  the  Property.  Buyer  expressly
acknowledges that the sale of the Property as provided for herein
is  made  on  an "AS IS" basis, and such provision shall  survive
closing.

     Buyer  may cancel this agreement for ANY REASON in its  sole
discretion by delivering a cancellation notice by certified mail,
return  receipt requested, or by personal delivery to Seller  and
escrow  holder  before  the  expiration  of  the  Inspection  and
Feasibility  Study  Period or Inspection  Period  as  defined  in
Section  16.  Such  notice shall be deemed  effective  only  upon
receipt by Seller. If this Agreement is not canceled as set forth
herein,  the First Payment shall be non-refundable unless  Seller
shall default hereunder.


     If  Buyer  cancels  this Agreement as permitted  under  this
Section  or  Section  16, except for any title  insurance  and/or
escrow  cancellation fees of the escrowee which will be  paid  by
the  Buyer,  and  any liabilities under sections  15(a)(iii)  and
16(b)  of  this  Agreement  (which will  survive),  Buyer  (after
execution  of  such documents reasonably requested by  Seller  to
evidence  the  termination hereof) shall be  returned  its  First
Payment,  and  Buyer will have absolutely no  rights,  claims  or
interest  of  any  type in connection with the Property  or  this
transaction,  regardless  of any alleged  conduct  by  Seller  or
anyone else.

      Unless  Seller  shall  be  in  default  of  any  obligation
hereunder, or this Agreement is canceled by Buyer pursuant to the
terms  hereof, if Buyer fails to make the Second Payment,  Seller
shall   be  entitled  to  retain  the  First  Payment  and  Buyer
irrevocably  will be deemed to have canceled this  Agreement  and
relinquish  all rights in and to the Property. If this  Agreement
is not canceled and the Second Payment is made when required, all
of Buyer's conditions and contingencies will be deemed satisfied.

7.  ESCROW. Escrow shall be opened by Buyer and the First Payment
shall  be  deposited  by Buyer with Escrowee.   A  copy  of  this
Agreement  will be delivered to the escrow holder and will  serve
as escrow instructions together with the escrow holder's standard
instructions  and  any additional instructions  required  by  the
escrow  holder  to  clarify its rights and duties.   The  parties
agree  to sign these additional instructions of the Escrowee,  if
any.  If  there is any conflict between these other  instructions
and  this Agreement, this Agreement will control. Escrow will  be
opened upon acceptance of this Agreement by Seller.

8.  TITLE.  Closing will be conditioned on the  commitment  of  a
nationally recognized title company selected by Buyer to issue an
Owner's  policy  of title insurance, dated as  of  the  close  of
escrow,  in an amount equal to the purchase price, insuring  that
Buyer  will own marketable and insurable fee simple title to  the
Property subject only to: the Permitted Exceptions as defined  in
paragraph  2  above; current real property taxes and assessments;
and survey exceptions.

       Buyer  shall  be  allowed  until  the  expiration  of  the
"Inspection and Feasibility Study Period" for examination and the
making  of  any objections to marketability of title thereto,  or
that  an  exception to title adversely affects  the  use  of  the
Property, said objections to be made in writing or deemed waived.
If  any objections are so made, the Seller shall be allowed sixty
(60)   days  to  make  such  title  marketable  or  cure  Buyer's
objections,  or  in the alternative to obtain  a  commitment  for
insurable  title  insuring over Buyer's  objections.   If  Seller
shall  decide to make no efforts to make title marketable, or  is
unable to make title marketable or obtain insurable title, (after
execution  by  Buyer  of such documents reasonably  requested  by
Seller  to evidence the termination hereof) Buyer's First Payment
shall  be returned and this agreement shall be null and void  and
of no further force and effect.

     Pending correction of title, the payments hereunder required
shall  be postponed, but upon correction of title and within  ten
(10)  days  after written notice of correction to the Buyer,  the
parties shall perform this agreement according to its terms.

      If  Buyer shall make no written objection to Seller  within
the  Review Period setting forth Buyer's objections to the status
of  title, Buyer shall have been deemed to have waived  any  such
objections.

9.  CLOSING COSTS.  Seller will pay the deed stamp taxes, if any,
and  one-half of escrow fees attributable to the closing services
for  this transaction.  Seller shall pay for the cost of  issuing
the  title  commitment.  Seller will pay the cost  of  the  title
insurance  premium for an Owner's policy (if desired  by  Buyer).
Buyer  will pay all recording fees, one-half of the escrow  fees,
the  costs of an update to the Survey in Seller's possession  (if
an  update  is required by Buyer).  Each party will pay  its  own
attorneys' fees and costs to document and close this transaction.

10.  REAL  ESTATE  TAXES,  SPECIAL  ASSESSMENTS  AND  PRORATIONS.
Seller  represents  that to the best of its knowledge,  all  real
estate  taxes and assessments due and payable in all years  prior
to  the  year of Closing have been paid in full.  All real estate
taxes  and  special  assessments due and  payable  in  the  years
following the year in which closing occurs shall otherwise be the
responsibility of Buyer.  The parties acknowledge and agree  that
the  tenant of the property is responsible for payment  of  taxes
and has been submitting payments monthly to Seller to be held  in
a  tax  escrow account.  Funds in the tax escrow account will  be
turned  over  to  the  Buyer at closing and Buyer  will  then  be
responsible for all tax payments past, current and future.

11. SELLER'S REPRESENTATION AND AGREEMENTS.

     (i)   The Property is subject to a Net Lease Agreement dated
     December 10, 1991.

     (iii)   It  is  not  aware of any contracts  affecting  this
     Property and potentially or actually binding on Buyer  after

     consummate  the  transaction contemplated by this  Agreement

     and  delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of  the
     transaction contemplated hereby.

12. DISCLOSURES.

     (a)   Seller  has  been an absentee landlord.  Consequently,
     Seller  has  little,  if  any,  knowledge  of  the  physical
     characteristics of the Property.

     Accordingly, except as otherwise specifically stated in  the
     Agreement,   Seller   hereby  specifically   disclaims   any
     warranty,  guaranty,  or representation,  oral  or  written,
     past,  present, or future of, as to, or concerning  (i)  the
     nature  and  condition of the Property,  including,  without
     limitation,   the   water,  soil,  and  geology,   and   the
     suitability  thereof and of the Property  for  any  and  all
     activities  and  uses  which  Buyer  may  elect  to  conduct
     thereon; (ii) except for the warranty of title contained  in
     the  Deed  to  be  delivered by Seller at the  closing,  the
     nature  and  extent of any right of way, lease,  possession,
     lien,  encumbrance,  license,  reservation,  condition,   or
     otherwise, and (iii) the compliance of the Property  or  its
     operation with any laws, ordinances, or regulations  of  any
     government or other body.

     (b)  This  Agreement is subject to an inspection contingency
     as  set  forth in Section 16.  Buyer acknowledges and agrees
     that  Buyer  is  not  relying  upon  any  representation  or
     warranties made by Seller or Seller's Agent.







     (c)   Buyer   acknowledges  that,  having  been  given   the
     opportunity to inspect the Property, Buyer is relying solely
     on  its  own  investigation of the Property and not  on  any
     information provided by Seller or to be provided  except  as
     set  forth  herein.  Buyer expressly acknowledges  that,  in
     consideration of the agreements of the Seller herein, except
     as  otherwise specified herein, Seller makes no Warranty  or
     representation, express or implied, or arising by  operation
     of  law,  including,  but not limited to,  any  warranty  or
     condition,  habitability,  tenantability,  suitability   for
     commercial  purposes,  merchantability,  profitability,   or
     fitness  for  a  particular  purpose,  in  respect  of   the
     Property.

     (d) BUYER AGREES THAT IT SHALL BE PURCHASING THE PROPERTY IN
     ITS  THEN PRESENT CONDITION, AS IS, WHERE IS, AND SELLER HAS
     NO  OBLIGATION  TO  CONSTRUCT  OR  REPAIR  ANY  IMPROVEMENTS
     THEREON, OR TO PERFORM ANY OTHER ACT REGARDING THE PROPERTY.
     WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, BUYER ALSO
     AGREES  THAT  SELLER  WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY  OF  ANY  TYPE,
     DIRECT OR INDIRECT, TO BUYER OR BUYER'S SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS,
     LENDERS  OR  AFFILIATES IN CONNECTION  WITH  ANY  HAZARDOUS,
     TOXIC,   DANGEROUS,   FLAMMABLE,   EXPLOSIVE   OR   CHEMICAL
     SUBSTANCES OF ANY TYPE (WHETHER OR NOT DEFINED AS SUCH UNDER
     ANY  APPLICABLE LAWS) ON OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE  PROPERTY
     EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER THE CLOSING DATE.

     The provisions (a) through (d) shall survive closing.


13. CLOSING.

     (a) Before the closing date, Seller will deposit into escrow
     an  executed  limited  warranty deed  subject  to  Permitted
     Exceptions  conveying insurable title  of  the  Property  to

     Seller's  Affidavit  regarding liens and  judgments,  to  be

deposited  into  escrow by cashier's check or wire transfer (less

signed  counterpart of the escrow  holder's   certified   closing
statement and  take  all other actions necessary to close escrow.

14.  DEFAULTS.  If Buyer defaults, Buyer will forfeit all  rights
and  claims  and  Seller will be relieved of all obligations  and
will  be  entitled to retain all monies (First, and if made,  the
final  Payments)  heretofore paid by  the  Buyer.   Seller  shall
retain all remedies available to Seller at law or in equity.




     If Seller shall default, Buyer irrevocably waives any rights
to file a lis pendens, a specific performance action or any other
claim,  action or proceeding of any type in connection  with  the
Property or this or any other transaction involving the Property,
and  will  not  do  anything to affect title to the  Property  or
hinder,  delay  or  prevent  any  other  sale,  lease  or   other
transaction involving the Property (any and all of which will  be
null  and void), unless: it has paid the First Payment, performed
all  of its other obligations and satisfied all conditions  under
this  Agreement,  and  unconditionally notifies  Seller  that  it
stands  ready  to tender full performance, purchase the  Property
and  close escrow as per this Agreement.  Provided, however, that
in  no  event  shall  Seller  be liable  for  any  consequential,
punitive  or  speculative damages arising out of any  default  by
Seller hereunder.

          applicable provisions of law, (b) any order of any court or other
          agency of government having jurisdiction hereof, or (c) any
          agreement or instrument to which Buyer is a party or by which

     (iii)Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from
          any and all claim of any persons or entities claiming a brokerage
          or other fee arising out of representation of Buyer.

     (a)  Seller shall provide Buyer access to the Property  from
     time  to  time  for  the  purpose of conducting  inspections

     other physical inspections. Buyer has until ninety (90) days
     after  the  signing of the agreement by Seller  to  complete
     such  physical  inspection (the "Inspection and  Feasibility
     Study").

     (b)  Buyer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Seller
     from  and  against  any and all losses,  claims,  causes  of
     action, liabilities, and costs to the extent caused  by  the

     ruling  state and Federal agencies, the Buyer may  terminate
     this  Agreement  within  said ninety  (90)  day  period  and
     receive  a  full  refund of the Earnest Money.  However,  if
     Buyer  terminates, Buyer prior to termination  will  provide

     $20,000,  this  Agreement shall become  null  and  void,  at
     Buyer's  option exercised, if at all, by written  notice  to
     Seller within ten (10) days after Buyer has received written
     notice  from Seller of said destruction or damage.   Seller,

     insured  loss  until  (i)  all contingencies  set  forth  in
     Paragraph 6 hereof have been satisfied, or waived; and  (ii)
     any  period provided for above in this Subparagraph 17a  for
     Buyer  to  elect to terminate this Agreement has expired  or
     Buyer has, by written notice to Seller, waived Buyer's right

     Seller's  right, title, and interest in and to all insurance
     proceeds  resulting from said damage or destruction  to  the
     extent  that the same are payable with respect to damage  to
     the Property.

     If  the cost of repair is less than $20,000.00, Buyer  shall
     be  obligated  to  otherwise  perform  hereinunder  with  no
     adjustment  to  the Purchase Price, reduction or  abatement,
     and  Seller shall assign Seller's right, title and  interest
     in  and  to  all  insurance  proceeds  in  relation  to  the
     Property.

     (b) If, prior to closing, the Property, or any part thereof,
     is  taken (other than as disclosed in writing to Buyer prior
     to  the  date  of  this Agreement) by eminent  domain,  this
     Agreement shall become null and void, at Buyer's option.  If
     Buyer  elects  to  proceed  and to consummate  the  purchase
     despite  said  taking, there shall be no  reduction  in,  or
     abatement of, the purchase price, and Seller shall assign to
     Buyer all the Seller's right, title, and interest in and  to
     any   award  made,  or  to  be  made,  in  the  condemnation
     proceeding in relation to the Property.

other party.

19.  CANCELLATION   If any party elects to cancel  this  Contract
because  of  any breach by another party, the party  electing  to
cancel  shall  deliver  to escrow agent a notice  containing  the
address  of  the party in breach and stating that  this  Contract
shall  be  canceled  unless the breach is cured  within  13  days
following the delivery of the notice to the escrow agent.  Within
three  days after receipt of such notice, the escrow agent  shall
send  it  by  United States Mail to the party in  breach  at  the

required.   If  the  breach  is not  cured  within  the  13  days
following  the delivery of the notice to the escrow  agent,  this
Contract shall be canceled.





20. MISCELLANEOUS.

     (a)  This Agreement may be amended only by written agreement
     signed by both Seller and Buyer, and all waivers must be  in
     writing  and signed by the waiving party.  Time  is  of  the
     essence.   This  Agreement  will not  be  construed  for  or
     against  a party whether or not that party has drafted  this
     Agreement.  If there is any action or proceeding between the
     parties relating to this Agreement the prevailing party will
     be  entitled to recover attorney's fees and costs.  This  is

     parties  about the Property and the other matters described,
     and  it  supersedes any other agreements or  understandings.
     Exhibits  attached  to this Agreement are incorporated  into
     this Agreement.

     (b)  If  this  escrow  has not closed through  no  fault  of
     Seller,  by  the thirtieth day after the completion  of  the
     Inspection and Feasibility Study Period, Seller may  either,
     at  its  election,  extend the closing  date,  exercise  any
     remedy available to it by law, including but not limited  to
     terminating this Agreement.

     (c)  Funds to be deposited or paid by Buyer will be good and
     clear  funds in the form of cash, cashier's checks  or  wire
     transfers.

     other  shall be in writing and shall be considered  to  have
     been  duly  given or served if sent by first class certified
     mail,  return receipt requested, postage prepaid,  or  by  a
     nationally recognized courier service guaranteeing overnight
     delivery to the party at his or its address set forth below,
