     ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

     Description of SB Partners (the "Registrant")

     The Registrant is an existing New York limited partnership, which has been
     engaged in acquiring, operating and holding for investment a varying
     portfolio of real properties since April, 1971.  The Registrant's initial
     public offering was in 1971.  In 1973, 1978, 1980, 1982 and 1985, the
     Registrant sold additional limited partnership interests.  As of December
     31, 1994, the Registrant owned a shopping center in Plantation, Florida,
     office buildings in St. Louis, Missouri, Cherry Hill, New Jersey and Los
     Angeles, California, and apartment projects in Holiday, Florida, and Las
     Vegas and Reno, Nevada.  In addition, the Registrant owned an undivided
     10% interest in an apartment project in Orlando, Florida, a 60% interest
     in an apartment project in Atlanta, Georgia, and 13.9 acres of land in
     Holiday, Florida. 

     The principal objectives of the Registrant are, first, to obtain capital
     appreciation through equity investments in real estate, second, to
     generate cash available for distribution, a portion of which may not be
     currently taxable, and third, to the extent still permitted under the
     Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to generate tax losses which
     may offset the Limited Partners' income from the Registrant and certain
     other sources. In recent years, the ability of the Registrant to meet
     these objectives has been impacted negatively by factors discussed
     elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K, among other things.

     The Registrant incurred losses before gain or loss on sale of investments
     in real estate during each year of its existence, except for calendar
     years 1982, 1987, and 1988.  The accumulated tax losses and accumulated
     financial statement losses before gain on sale of investments in real
     estate as of December 31, 1994 were $143,420,919, and $96,070,606,
     respectively.  The accumulated tax gains and the accumulated financial
     statement gains on sale of investments in real estate as of December 31,
     1994, were $97,113,700 and $88,462,425,respectively.  Aggregate cash
     distributions made to partners as of December 31, 1994 were $ 97,752,882. 
     Refer to the Registrant's 1994 Annual Audited Financial Statements, which
     is contained in this annual report on Form 10-K, Note 9 of Notes to
     Financial Statements, for a reconciliation of net loss for financial
     reporting purposes to net loss for Federal income tax reporting purposes
     for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994.<PAGE>


     <PAGE>3
     Recent Developments and Real Estate Investment Factors

     Numerous events which have affected the real estate industry over the last
     several years including significant changes in federal income tax
     legislation, stricter government regulations with respect to lending
     practices of banking and savings and loan institutions, the Resolution
     Trust Corporation's administration and disposition of billions of dollars
     of real estate and overbuilding in many markets have had a significant
     negative impact on the value and operation of real estate investments.   
     During such periods of declining real estate values, the use of leverage
     causes equity values and property cash flow to decrease more rapidly and
     more substantially than instances where leverage is not used.  The use of
     leverage by the Registrant and other owners of real estate has had a
     negative impact on equity values and cash flow during this period of
     declining real estate values. Due to the tendency of real estate to be
     relatively non-liquid, the ability of the Registrant and other owners of
     real estate to vary their portfolios in response to these changing general
     and local economic, financial and investment conditions has been limited
     in the past and may be limited in the future.

     Certain markets and real estate asset classes have stabilized or exhibited
     improvement during the last year from improved tenant demand, lower debt
     and equity capital costs and more potential buyers of real estate,
     including real estate investment trusts, among other factors.  Apartment
     properties are typical of an improving asset class.  Yet, many markets and
     asset classes remain unstable or have stabilized at a level where current
     rental rates less operating, financing and tenanting costs are
     insufficient to support debt and equity structures created in the 1980's
     and early 1990's.  Central business district office buildings are typical
     of these later situations.

     In the event that cash flow from the properties is not sufficient to cover
     operating, financing and improvement costs, owners of real estate
     properties, including the Registrant, may be required to generate funds
     from other than internal sources.  The sources may include, but are not
     limited to, obtaining funds from sales or joint venturing of its real
     estate investments, or additional secured or unsecured borrowing (Refer
     also to Item 7. - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
     Condition and Results of Operations.)  

     The Registrant has, until recently, owned investments in senior and junior
     mortgage notes receivable that resulted from the sales of previously owned
     real estate properties.  The recent events discussed above have also
     contributed to problems experienced by these borrowers, resulting in
     filings for protection from creditors under Chapter XI of the United
     States Bankruptcy Code, reduced or non-payment of monthly installments of
     principal and interest, foreclosure actions and loan restructuring on less
     favorable terms to lenders, including the Registrant.<PAGE>


     <PAGE>4
     Competition

     The Registrant competes for tenants with many other real estate owners.  
     The success of the Registrant in attracting tenants for its properties
     will depend upon its ability to maintain its properties and their
     attractiveness to tenants, neighborhood conditions and changing
     demographic trends, among other things.  The recent recession and other
     factors resulted, and may continue to result, in the inability of existing
     tenants to meet their obligations under the terms of their leases, which
     may in turn adversely affect the performance and financial condition of
     the Registrant.

     Tax Matters

     In August 1993, Congress passed and President Clinton signed into law the
     Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (the "Act").  The Act includes
     several provisions designed to help revive the real estate industry,
     including relaxed rules for pension fund investments in real estate,
     passive-loss relief for developers, extension of the low-income housing
     credit and an easing of the rules on recognizing cancellation of certain
     real estate debt.  On the negative side, the Act extended the recovery
     period for nonresidential real estate by 7.5 years (from 31.5 to 39).

     The Act relaxes the "per se" passive characterization of certain rental
     real estate operations.  For tax years beginning after 1993, eligible
     taxpayers, who materially participate in rental real estate activities,
     are able to deduct losses from rental activities against other income. 
     For all other nonmaterial participating taxpayers, the provisions enacted
     as part of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and Miscellaneous Revenue Act of
     1988 (as discussed below) continue to apply.  The Act also provides some
     relief by allowing taxpayers, other than corporations, to elect to exclude
     from income some cancellation of "qualified real property business
     indebtedness", effective for certain discharges after December 31, 1992. 
     The amount of the exclusion is limited to the basis of the taxpayer's
     business real property or the excess of the principal amount of the debt
     over the fair market value of business real property that secures the
     debt, whichever is less.  The basis of the taxpayer's business real
     property must be reduced by the amount of excluded income. The new
     provision does not apply to foreclosures or "deeds in lieu" with respect
     to nonrecourse debt.<PAGE>


     <PAGE>5
     Tax Reform Act of 1986 and the Technical
      and Miscellaneous Revenue Act of 1988  

     On October 22, 1986, the Tax Reform Act of 1986 ("the '86 Act") was signed
     into law.  The Technical and Miscellaneous Revenue Act of 1988 ("TAMRA
     88") was enacted on November 10, 1988.  Generally the principal provisions
     of the 1986 Act and TAMRA 88 impacting the Registrant and its Limited
     Partners are:

         -   Passive activity loss limitations have limited the 
             ability of the partners to offset their allocated share of taxable
             passive losses (essentially losses from rental real estate
             operations) of the Registrant against other earned or portfolio
             income.

         -   The limitation of losses to amounts that partners have "at risk"
             was extended to passive real estate investments.  The amount a
             partner has "at risk" generally includes their proportionate share
             of qualified non-recourse financing, and is also subject to other
             limitations.

         -   The '86 Act limits the deduction of investment interest 
             expense, as defined, to the amount of net investment income
             generated for the year, as defined, with an unlimited carryover
             for excess expense.

     The effect of these and other changes in income tax laws will vary
     depending upon each partner's individual tax situation.  The Registrant
     believes that its characterization of and allocation of passive and
     portfolio income and losses from its operations are in compliance with
     existing regulations, but it can provide no assurances that the Internal
     Revenue Service ("IRS") will not challenge such treatment and allocations
     in the event of an audit.

     Other Tax Matters

     The Revenue Act of 1987 retroactively changed the treatment of income and
     loss of publicly-traded partnerships ("PTP") to characterize a partner's
     share of income as portfolio instead of passive, and limits the current
     deductibility of losses.

     The term PTP refers to any partnership whose interests are traded on an
     established securities market or are readily tradeable on a secondary
     market (or the substantial equivalent thereof).  The Registrant believes
     that it is not a PTP pursuant to such definition and therefore its holders
     will not be subject to the Revenue Act of 1987 provisions.  However, due
     to the complexities of the regulations, no assurance can be provided that
     the IRS may not challenge the treatment of income and losses in the event
     of an audit.<PAGE>


     <PAGE>6
     In 1989, the Registrant made an election under IRC Section 754 which
     provides for an adjustment of the adjusted tax basis of depreciable
     property which may result in additional depreciation deductions to
     purchasing partners and those partners who inherit their interests in the
     Registrant.  These adjustments, however, are subject to the passive loss
     rules discussed above and may or may not provide current benefit to a
     particular partner.  The Registrant will be bound by the Section 754
     election for all subsequent years.

     General

     Efforts required in complying with Federal, state and local environmental
     regulations may have an adverse effect on the Registrant's operations in
     the future, although such costs have not historically been significant in
     amount.

     There are approximately 45 full and part-time on site project personnel
     employed at the Registrant's properties.

     The Registrant's real estate investments are not generally subject to
     seasonal fluctuations, although net income (loss) may vary somewhat from
     quarter to quarter based upon changes in utility consumption and seasonal
     maintenance expenditures at each property.

     The Registrant considers itself to be engaged in only one industry
     segment, real estate investment, and therefore information regarding
     industry segments is not applicable and has not been provided.

     ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S UNITS OF PARTNERSHIP
               INTEREST AND RELATED UNITHOLDER MATTERS   

     The transfer of Units or Participations (equivalent to one-half Unit) is
     subject to certain limitations, including the consent of the General
     Partner.  There is no public market for the Units and it is not
     anticipated that any such public market will develop.

     The number of Unitholders as of December 31, 1994 was 3,993.
     Although at various times the Registrant has generated and distributed
     cash to the Unitholders , there is no requirement to make such
     distributions nor can there be any assurance that future operations will
     generate cash available for distribution.  The Registrant has not paid
     distributions since 1990 and has no current plans to recommence paying
     distributions.

     ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                           LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of December 31, 1994, the Registrant had cash and cash equivalents of
     approximately $1,075,000 in addition to $1,303,000  of deposits held in
     escrow by certain lenders for the payment of insurance, real estate taxes
     and certain capital and maintenance costs.  These balances are
     approximately $117,000 less than cash, cash equivalents and deposits held
     in escrow on December 31, 1993.  

     During 1994, the Registrant sold Woodlake Apartments for $4,579,000 in
     cash over an existing first mortgage of $17,476,000 (which was assumed by
     the buyer) and Nob Hill Apartments for $1,500,000 in cash over the
     existing senior lien of $5,873,000 (which was assumed by the buyer).  Gain
     on sale of these real estate investments of $6,859,000 was recognized in
     1994.

     Outstanding debt at December 31, 1994 consisted of approximately
     $112,253,000 of nonrecourse first mortgage notes secured by real estate
     owned by the Registrant.  The mortgage note secured by Plantation Shopping
     Center ($6,793,000) is scheduled to mature in the last quarter of 1995. 
     Other scheduled maturities through regularly scheduled monthly payments of
     principal and interest will be $595,000 in 1995.

     As of December 31, 1994, the Registrant has issued irrevocable letters of
     credit in the amount of $1,038,000 which primarily serve as additional
     collateral securing financing for 1010 Market Street office building. 
     During 1994, the Registrant obtained releases for approximately $2,100,000
     of previously issued letters of credit serving as additional collateral
     securing certain financing.

     The Registrant has no debt other than normal trade accounts payable and
     accrued interest on previously discussed mortgage notes payable.

     Cash flow from the Registrant's apartment properties has been stable and
     in certain cases increasing moderately, reflecting an improvement in many
     apartment submarkets.  Cash flow from all sources is projected to be
     sufficient to cover operating, financing and improvement costs in the near
     future at such properties.  Office markets where the Registrant owns
     properties have experienced extended periods of high vacancy rates,
     significantly lower effective rental rates, reduced demand, and high risks
     of tenant failures and overbuilding.  Terms of new and renewals of
     existing leases are being made that are significantly more in favor of
     tenants with reduced rental rates, periods of free or reduced rent and
     costs of altering and improving rented <PAGE>


     <PAGE>11
     premises being borne by the landlord.  Consequently, rental revenues have
     in recent years, for certain properties, been insufficient to cover
     operating costs, tenant improvement costs and other capital expenditures
     and scheduled debt service payments.  Funds generated from other sources,
     including, but not limited to sales or joint venturing of real estate
     investments or additional secured or unsecured borrowing, have at times
     been utilized to offset cash flow deficits resulting from operating these
     properties.  The Registrant projects that it will be able to generate
     sufficient cash flow from all sources to meet working capital requirements
     in 1995.

     Due to the impact of the conditions discussed above and the continuing
     decline in commercial office rents in the downtown Los Angeles office
     market, cash flow generated by International Jewelry Center has not been
     sufficient to carry debt service on the mortgage encumbering the property. 
     The Registrant ceased paying scheduled debt service in May 1993 and since
     then has only been paying debt service based on available cash flow from
     the building to be applied to debt service and ground rent.  The loan was
     declared in default by the lender in November 1993.  The lender filed a
     Notice of Default and Election to Sell on March 3, 1995.  Accordingly, it
     is uncertain whether the Registrant will be able to successfully continue
     to hold the property or obtain some other resolution that would be
     beneficial.  The Registrant has recorded a reserve for real estate losses
     of $4,162,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994 in connection with this
     property.

                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                    1994 VS. 1993

     Total revenues decreased $1,475,000 to $25,544,000 in 1994 from
     $27,019,000 in 1993.  Loss from operations increased $5,732,000 to
     $14,266,000 from $8,534,000 in 1993.  Net loss decreased $1,220,000 to
     $7,758,000 in 1994 from $8,978,000 in 1993.

     The net loss for 1994 includes a gain on sales of real estate of
     $6,859,000 and a reserve for real estate losses of $4,162,000.  The net
     loss for 1993 included a provision for loan losses of $853,000 after a
     partial recovery of previously reserved mortgage note receivable of
     $725,000 and a loss on sale of real estate of $72,000.

     Meadowwood Apartments (Reno, Nevada)

     Total revenues in 1994 increased $221,000 to $4,321,000 from $4,100,000 in
     1993.  Net loss after depreciation and mortgage interest expense decreased
     $163,000 to $100,000 in 1994 from $263,000 in 1993.<PAGE>


     <PAGE>12
     Revenue increased due to base rent increases of $217,000 charged to
     tenants with minimal impact on the property's occupancy.  Property
     occupancy remained above 95% for most of the year and as of December 31,
     1994 was 97.8%.  The decrease in net loss was caused by the increase in
     revenues discussed above and reduction in real estate taxes  ($49,000),
     partially offset by an increase in apartment turnover costs ($22,000),
     utility costs ($61,000) and professional fees  ($24,000).

     Sahara Palms Apartments (Las Vegas, Nevada)

     Total revenues increased $136,000 to $1,983,000 in 1994 from $1,847,000 in
     1993 .  Net loss after depreciation and mortgage interest expense
     increased  $34,000 to $190,000 in 1994 from $156,000 in 1993.  

     As with Meadowwood, occupancy at Sahara Palms remained above 95% for most
     of the year and at December 31, 1994 was 97.6%.  The increase in revenues
     is indicative of the continuing strength of the Las Vegas apartment market
     as base rents rose $42,000 and vacancy and other revenue losses decreased
     $86,000.

     The increase in net loss was caused by increases in depreciation and
     amortization expense ($108,000) payroll ($43,000), contractual services
     ($24,000), utilities ($14,000)  and property administration ($12,000),
     partially offset by the previously discussed increase in revenues.

     Holiday Park Apartments (Holiday, Florida)

     Total revenues increased $37,000 to $1,065,000 in 1994 from $1,028,000 in
     1993.  Net loss after depreciation and mortgage interest expense increased
     $25,000 to $99,000 in 1994 from $74,000 in 1993.  

     Revenues increased primarily from increases in base rents charged to
     tenants ($40,000), partially offset by a small increase in average vacancy
     ($5,000). The increase in net loss was caused by increases in payroll
     related costs ($16,000) and repair and maintenance costs ($47,000),
     partially offset by the previously discussed increase in revenues.

     Woodlake Village/Redwood Village  (Sacramento, California)

     Woodlake Apartments was sold in June 1994 for $22,055,000 resulting in a
     gain on sale of $6,442,000.  Decreases in revenues and net loss before
     gain on sale are attributable to a full year of ownership in 1993 as
     compared with five months in 1994.

     Revenue decreased $2,171,000 to $1,578,000 in 1994 from $3,749,000 in
     1993.  Net loss before gain on sale decreased $315,000 to $254,000 in 1994
     from $569,000 in 1993.<PAGE>


     <PAGE>13
     Plantation Shopping Center (Plantation, Florida)

     Total revenues decreased $159,000 to $1,240,000 in 1994 from $1,399,000 in
     1993.  Net loss after depreciation and mortgage interest expense increased
     $171,000 to $924,000 in 1994 from $753,000 in 1993.

     Performance continued to suffer from the effects of the fire which caused
     significant damage to the property in late 1992 and the resulting decline
     in occupancy.  Revenues decreased primarily from a decrease in average
     base rent charged to tenants ($282,000) partially offset by increases in
     occupancy ($78,000) and tenant pass through income ($53,000).  Net loss
     increased primarily from the previously discussed revenue decrease and
     increases in professional fees ($65,000) and amortization of discount on
     mortgage notes payable ($43,000), partially offset by a decrease in real
     estate tax expense ($73,000).

     1010 Market Street (St. Louis, Missouri)

     Total revenues increased $171,000 to $5,576,000 in 1994 from $5,405,000 in
     1993.  Net loss after depreciation and mortgage interest expense decreased
     $59,000 to $1,017,000 in 1994 from $1,076,000 in 1993.

     Revenue increased primarily from increases in escalation income ($21,000),
     other income ($48,000) and increase in average occupancy from 85% to 87%
     ($66,000).  Net loss decreased due to the revenue increase described
     previously, offset by increases in insurance costs ($31,000), repairs and
     maintenance ($45,000) and payroll costs ($38,000).  A portion of the
     increases in property operating expenses have been billed to certain
     tenants that have leases with pass through clauses for rent increases due
     to increases in building operating expenses.

     Cherry Hill Office Center (Cherry Hill, New Jersey)

     Cherry Hill Office Center was reacquired by the Registrant in September
     1993 by credit bid of its mortgage, such bid being approved by the United
     States Bankruptcy Court.  Accordingly, increases in total revenue and net
     income after depreciation and mortgage interest expense in 1994 are
     attributable to a full year of ownership as compared with four months in
     1993.

     Total revenues increased $957,000 to $1,508,000 in 1994 from  $551,000 in
     1993.  Net income after depreciation and interest expense increased
     $136,000 to $248,000 in 1994 from $112,000 in 1993.<PAGE>


     <PAGE>14
     International Jewelry Center (Los Angeles, California)

     Revenues decreased $716,000 to $7,001,000 in 1994 from $7,717,000 in 1993. 
     Net loss after depreciation and mortgage interest expense increased
     $4,933,000 to $7,735,000 in 1994 from $2,802,000 in 1993.

     Revenues decreased primarily from  a reduction in average occupancy at the
     property from 73% to 67% ($525,000), a decrease in average base rents
     charged to tenants ($156,000) and a decrease in expense escalation revenue
     related to the prior year reduction in occupancy ($102,000).  The net loss
     increased due to the previously described decrease in revenue, the reserve
     for real estate losses ($4,162,000) previously discussed in Liquidity and
     Capital Resources, and increases in real estate and other taxes
     ($181,000), salaries ($151,000), depreciation of improvements ($257,000),
     and maintenance and security costs ($260,000), partially offset by a
     decrease in bad debt expenses ($1,231,000).

     The International Jewelry Center continues to be negatively impacted by
     the softening of the jewelry business in general, the Northridge
     earthquake in January 1994, and the migration of tenants and potential
     tenants to suburban areas perceived to be safer than downtown Los Angeles. 
     As a result, cash flow generated by the International Jewelry Center has
     not been sufficient to carry ground rent and debt service on the mortgage
     encumbering the property.  Cash flow for 1995 is also projected to be less
     than scheduled ground rent and debt service.  The positive effects of an
     improvement in property occupancy at the end of 1994 have been minimized
     by continuing reductions in rental rates paid by new and renewal tenants,
     tenant failures and costs of improving such space for the tenants at the
     Registrant's cost.  Additionally, given the nature of the tenancy at the
     building, many of whom manufacture and clean jewelry in the building, The
     City of Los Angeles has recently imposed additional requirements in
     respect of the waste water treatment plant and indoor air monitoring
     systems.  Tests results indicate on-going potential environmental risks
     arising from the tenants use of hazardous chemicals in the ordinary course
     of their business.

     Mortgage Notes Receivable Portfolio

     Interest income from mortgage notes receivable decreased  $558,000 to
     $497,000 in 1994 from $1,055,000 in 1993.  The decrease was caused by the
     reacquisition of Cherry Hill Office Center in September 1993 and Nob Hill
     Apartments in July 1994.

     In 1993, the Registrant added $854,000 to its provision for possible loan
     losses due to the deterioration in the performance of Nob Hill Apartments
     and recovered $725,000 from the previously <PAGE>


     <PAGE>15
     fully reserved third mortgage note secured by an apartment complex located
     in Antioch, California.

     During 1994, the Registrant reacquired Nob Hill Apartments for $700,000
     cash over existing liens (Refer to page 10 - Liquidity and Capital
     Resources).  As of December 31, 1994, the Registrant does not own
     interests in mortgage notes receivable.

     Investment in Joint Venture

     Equity in net loss of joint venture decreased $21,000 to $351,000  in 1994
     from $372,000 in 1993.

     The improvement was due to the continuing increase in property occupancy
     during the year from 80% at December 31, 1993 to 93% at December 31, 1994
     ($158,000) and an increase in base rents paid by tenants ($129,000),
     partially offset by increases in expenses related to the improvement in
     occupancy - apartment turnover costs ($99,000), repairs and maintenance
     ($20,000) and utility costs ($40,000).

                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                    1993 VS. 1992

     Total revenues decreased $3,202,000 in 1993 to $27,019,000 from
     $30,221,000 in 1992.  Loss from operations decreased to $8,534,000 from
     $8,620,000 in 1992.  Net loss decreased to $8,978,000 in 1993 from
     $9,417,000 in 1992.

     The net loss for 1993 included a loan loss provision of $853,000 after a
     recovery of a previously reserved mortgage note receivable of $725,000. 
     The net loss for 1992 included a provision for loan losses of $1,834,000
     and a writedown of investments in real estate of $1,295,000.

     Holiday Park Apartments

     Total revenues in 1993 increased to $1,028,000 from $1,009,000 in 1992. 
     There was a net loss after depreciation and mortgage interest expense in
     1993 of $74,000 compared with net income of $49,000 in 1992.

     The increase in revenues was due to increases in apartment rental rates
     during 1993 ($27,000), partially offset by a slight increase in the
     average vacancy rate ($8,000).  Interest expense increased $48,000 from a
     full year of interest on a mortgage note payable which was secured in
     March 1992.  Depreciation and amortization expense also increased
     ($82,000) from the full year of amortization of loan costs and
     depreciation of approximately $460,000 of capital additions to the
     property during 1992. <PAGE>


     <PAGE>16
     Meadowwood Apartments

     Total revenues in 1993 increased to $4,100,000 from $4,061,000 in 1992. 
     Net loss after depreciation and mortgage interest expense increased to
     $263,000 from $245,000 in 1992.

     The increase in revenues was primarily the result of a stronger apartment
     market, as evidenced by implementing increases in rental rates at the
     property during the year.  Operating expenses were higher primarily from
     higher repair and maintenance costs ($30,000) and an increase in the
     property's real estate taxes ($38,000).

     Sahara Palms Apartments

     Total revenues increased $97,000 in 1993 to $1,847,000.  Net loss after
     depreciation and mortgage interest expense decreased to $156,000 from
     $326,000 in 1992.

     The increase in revenues was due primarily to an increase in occupancy
     from 89% on December 31, 1992 to 98% on December 31, 1993.  A reduction in
     expenses was the result of the full depreciation of certain short-lived
     depreciable property in 1993, partially offset by an increase in
     depreciation of property improvement costs incurred in 1992.

     Woodlake Village/Redwood Village

     Total revenues decreased $48,000 to $3,749,000 in 1993 from $3,797,000 in
     1992.  Net loss after mortgage interest expense and depreciation expense
     increased to $569,000 from $492,000 in 1992.

     The decrease in revenues was caused primarily by an increase in rent
     concessions. Real estate operating expenses increased from slightly higher
     payroll related costs ($33,000) and repair and maintenance costs caused by
     tenant turnover ($20,000), which was partially offset by slightly lower
     real estate taxes ($11,000).

     Plantation Shopping Center

     Total revenues decreased $52,000 to $1,399,000 in 1993 from $1,451,000 in
     1992.  Net loss after mortgage interest expense and depreciation expense
     also increased from $533,000 in 1992 to $753,000 in 1993.

     The decrease in revenues was the result of a reduction in occupancy
     brought about by a fire at the center in late 1992.  Real estate operating
     expenses increased $147,000 in 1993 due to professional fees incurred in
     connection with a tenant collection matter and administering the insurance
     claim for the damage caused by the fire referred to above.  Depreciation
     and amortization expense increased in 1993 from a full year of <PAGE>


     <PAGE>17
     depreciating and amortizing tenant improvements and leasing commission
     costs incurred during 1992.

     1010 Market Street

     Total revenues decreased $396,000 to $5,405,000 in 1993 from $5,801,000 in
     1992.  Net loss after mortgage interest expense and depreciation expense
     increased to $1,076,000 from $823,000 in 1992.

     The decrease in revenues was caused by a reduction in base rents from new
     and/or renewing tenants despite an increase in occupancy from 84% at
     December 31, 1992 to 86% on December 31, 1993.  The decrease in rents is
     indicative of the softening of office market conditions in downtown St.
     Louis.  The increase in net loss is caused by the decrease in revenues
     mentioned above, an increase in depreciation and amortization of tenant
     improvement costs and refinancing costs incurred in 1992 and 1993,
     partially offset by a reduction in mortgage interest expense of $196,000
     from the reduced interest rate on the renegotiated mortgage note in
     September 1992.

     International Jewelry Center

     Total revenues decreased $1,715,000 in 1993 to $7,717,000 from $9,432,000
     in 1992.  Net loss after depreciation and mortgage interest expense
     increased to $2,802,000 from a year earlier net income of $250,000.

     Despite being the premier jewelry building in Los Angeles, performance has
     continued to suffer since the civil disturbances in 1992, the softening of
     the jewelry business in general, and since the Northridge earthquake in
     January 1994.  Since December 31, 1992, nearly 100 of the 300 tenants of
     the building on that date have either gone out of business, filed for
     bankruptcy court protection, moved to other buildings with lower rental
     rates or suburban markets perceived to be safer, or had lease terms
     renegotiated with significantly lower effective rental rates.  While the
     reopening of a renovated Pershing Square Park across the street from the
     building has had somewhat of a positive effect, occupancy at December 31,
     1993 was approximately 64% versus 74% on December 31, 1992.  The increase
     in operating expenses were primarily bad debt charge-offs of $1,648,000 in
     1993 compared to $76,000 in 1992.  The decrease in revenues was caused by
     a decrease in rental rates and occupancy for the reasons discussed above. 


     Mortgage Notes Receivable Portfolio

     Interest income from mortgage notes receivable decreased from $2,666,000
     in 1992 to $1,055,000 in 1993.  The decrease was caused by the 1992
     retirements of mortgage notes receivable <PAGE>


     <PAGE>18
     secured by an apartment property located in Atlanta, Georgia ($726,000)
     and a commercial property in St. Louis, Missouri ($110,000).  In addition,
     the failure of the borrower to perform its obligations under the terms of
     a mortgage note secured by Cherry Hill that was restructured as a part of
     a bankruptcy court approved reorganization plan resulted in the Registrant
     reacquiring the property in September 1993.  Interest and real estate
     operating income from the property in 1993 was $46,000 versus $699,000 of
     interest income in 1992.  In 1993, the Registrant sold its interest in a
     mortgage note receivable secured by a third lien on an apartment complex
     located in Antioch, California for $725,000, which had been fully reserved
     for possible loss.  Due to the continuing deterioration of the underlying
     collateral of its remaining mortgage notes receivable, the Registrant
     added $129,000 to its reserve for possible loan losses in 1993, net of
     recovery, versus $1,834,000 in 1992.

     Investment in Joint Venture

     Equity in net loss of joint venture decreased $550,000 to $372,000 in 1993
     from $922,000 in 1992.  The complete rehabilitation of Riverbend
     Apartments, which was performed in phases to minimize rent loss, was
     completed during 1993.  The property's occupancy rate rose to nearly 80%
     by year end from 73% at December 31, 1992 and revenues increased $277,000
     from rental rate increases and $50,000 from the reduction in vacancy.

     ITEM 11.     EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

     The Registrant has no executive officers or directors.


     ITEM 12.     SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN
                  BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

     (a) At December 31, 1994, an institutional investor of record 
         owned 7.13% of the outstanding Units of Limited Partnership Interests. 
         On January 13, 1993, a group of unitholders of record, including the
         institutional investor referred to above, entered into a collective
         agreement with respect to their ownership interest in the Registrant. 
         The aggregate number of Units beneficially owned by the group is 676
         Units, representing 8.7% of the total number of outstanding Units of
         Limited Partnership Interest on that date.  Each   unitholder has
         disclaimed beneficial ownership of all Units owned by the other
         unitholders in this group.  The foregoing information is based upon a
         13-D filing made by the 
         respective unitholders.

     (b) As of December 31, 1994, none of the Directors of the General Partner
         owned any outstanding Units of Limited Partnership Interest.  However,
         an Assistant Secretary of the General Partner owned four Units of
         Limited Partnership Interest.  No officers or Directors of SHC owned
         any outstanding Units of the Limited Partnership Interest.  SRE
         Investor Services, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partner, owned
         73.5 Units of Limited Partnership Interest representing less than 1%
         of the outstanding number of units on December 31, 1994.

     (c) During the year ended December 31, 1994, there have been no changes in
         control of the Registrant or the General Partner.


     ITEM 13.     CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

     The General Partner, among other things, furnishes services and advice to
     the Registrant and is paid a variable annual fee for such services based
     on calculations prescribed in the Registrant's Partnership Agreement. 
     Certain affiliates of the General Partner oversee the management and
     operations of various real estate properties, including those owned by the
     Registrant.  Services performed by these affiliates applicable to the
     Registrant's properties are billed at actual or allocated cost, percentage
     of revenues or net equity.  The cost of such services are believed to be
     competitive with charges for similar services provided by unrelated
     management companies.  Fees charged to these affiliates totalled
     $2,073,339, $2,370,964 and $2,755,765 in 1994, 1993, and 1992
     respectively.<PAGE>


     <PAGE>21
     In connection with the mortgage financing of certain properties, the
     respective lenders required the Registrant to place the assets and
     liabilities of these properties into single asset limited partnerships
     which hold title to these properties.  A trust company affiliated with the
     General Partner holds the general partner interest in each single asset
     limited partnership as trustee for the Registrant.  For its services, the
     affiliate is paid an annual fee, which aggregated $134,086, $138,450 and
     $131,390 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, and is based upon the trust
     company's standard rate schedule.

     Reference is made to Items 10 and 11, and Notes 2 and 10 in the  financial
     statements.

                      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


     To the Partners of SB Partners:


         We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of SB Partners (a New
     York limited partnership) as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the related
     statements of operations, changes in partners' capital and cash flows for
     each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994.  These
     financial statements and schedules referred to below are the
     responsibility of the general partner.  Our responsibility is to express
     an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our
     audits.  

         We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
     standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
     obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
     free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test
     basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
     statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
     used and significant estimates made by the general partner, as well as
     evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that
     our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.  

         As discussed more fully in Note 11 to the financial statements, the
     Partnership has incurred cash flow deficits at its major commercial
     properties in recent years.   These cash flow deficits have been generally
     offset by cash flow from its residential properties, proceeds from secured
     and unsecured financing, sales and joint venturing of its real estate
     properties and, to a limited extent, cash flow from certain other
     commercial properties.  The general partner projects that the
     Partnership's cash flow from all sources will be sufficient to allow the
     Partnership to meet its obligations as they come due in 1995.  The
     Partnership's ability to meet obligations as they come due beyond 1995 is
     dependent upon, among other things, its ability to generate sufficient
     cash flow from the sources discussed above.

         In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
     fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SB Partners as
     of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of its operations and its
     cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
     1994 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.<PAGE>


     <PAGE>25
         Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
     financial statements taken as a whole.  The schedules on pages 38 through
     41 of this report are not a required part of the basic financial
     statements, but are supplementary information required by the Securities
     and Exchange Commission.  The information has been subjected to the
     auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements
     and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation

                            Notes to Financial Statements
                          December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992

     (1) Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

     SB Partners (the "Partnership) is a New York limited partnership which has
     been engaged since April 1971 in acquiring, operating and holding for
     investment a varying portfolio of real properties.  SB Partners Real
     Estate Corporation (the "General Partner") serves as the general partner
     of the Partnership.  The significant accounting and financial reporting
     policies of the Partnership are as follows:

     Basis of presentation -
     The accompanying financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis
     of accounting under generally accepted accounting principles.  Revenues
     are recognized as earned and expenses are recognized as incurred.

     Income taxes - 
     Each partner is individually responsible for reporting his share of the
     Partnership's taxable income or loss.  Accordingly, no provision has been
     made in the accompanying financial statements for Federal, state or local
     income taxes.

     Capitalization, depreciation and amortization -
     Depreciation of buildings, furnishings and improvements is computed using
     the straight-line method of depreciation, based upon the estimated useful
     lives of the related properties, as follows:

          Buildings and improvements     5 to 50 years
          Furnishings                    5 to 7 years

     Real estate is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. 
     Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. 
     Expenditures for improvements, renewals and betterments, which increase
     the useful life of the real estate, are capitalized.  Upon retirement or
     sale of property, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are
     removed from the accounts.  Amortization of deferred financing and
     refinancing costs is computed by amortizing the cost over the term of the
     related mortgage notes.  Amortization of leasing commissions and tenant
     improvements is computed by amortizing the cost over the term of the
     related lease.

     Recognition of gains (losses) on sales of real estate investments -Gains
     on sales of investments in real estate are recognized in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting principles applicable to sales of real
     estate, which require minimum levels of initial and continuing investment
     by the purchaser, and that certain other tests be met prior to the full
     recognition of profit at the time of the sale.  When the tests are not
     met, gains on sales are recognized on either the installment or cost
     recovery methods.<PAGE>


     <PAGE>31
     Recognition of interest income and expense -
     Discounts on mortgage notes receivable and payable are amortized as
     interest income and expense, respectively, using the effective interest
     method.

     Net loss per unit -
     Net loss per unit of partnership interest has been computed based on the
     weighted average number of units of partnership interest outstanding
     during each year.  There were no potentially dilutive securities
     outstanding during each year.

     Cash equivalents -
     For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership considers all highly
     liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three
     months or less to be cash equivalents.

     Allowance for possible loan losses -
     The Partnership periodically reviews its portfolio of mortgage notes
     receivable and related advances for amounts which may not be collectible,
     based on, among other things, estimates of the value of underlying
     collateral.  During the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, the
     Partnership provided $ -0-, $128,651,and $1,833,597 for such possible
     losses, respectively, net of recoveries.

     Reclassifications - 
     Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to make them comparable
     to the current year presentation.

     Joint Venture - 
     The Partnership accounts for its investment in a joint venture using the
     equity method.  Pursuant to the special allocations of cash flow which are
     contained in the joint venture agreement, it recognizes income or loss to
     the extent of its allocable share of the change in the net assets of the
     joint venture.

     Mortgage financing -
     In connection with the mortgage financing on certain of its properties,
     the Partnership placed the assets and liabilities of these properties into
     single asset limited partnerships and limited liability companies which
     hold title to the properties.  In these limited partnerships, the
     Partnership holds a 99% limited partner interest, and an affiliate of the
     General Partner holds a 1% general partner interest as trustee for the
     Partnership.

     (2) Investment Management Agreement

     The Partnership has entered into a Management Agreement with the General
     Partner.  Under the terms of this agreement, the General Partner is
     responsible for the acquisition, management and disposition of all
     investments, as well as performance of the day-to-day administrative
     operations and provision of office space for the Partnership.<PAGE>


     <PAGE>32
     For these services, the General Partner receives a management fee equal to
     2% of the average amount of capital invested in real estate plus
     cumulative mortgage payments and 0.5% of capital not invested in real
     estate, as defined in the partnership agreement.  The management fee
     amounted to $2,141,519, $1,960,552, and $2,023,052 for the years ended
     December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.  In addition, the General
     Partner is entitled to 25% of cash distributions in excess of the annual
     distribution preferences, as defined in the partnership agreement.  No
     such amounts were due for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993, and
     1992.


     (3) Investments in Real Estate

     The following is the cost basis, and accumulated depreciation and
     valuation allowance of the real estate investments owned by the

     (4) Real Estate Transactions

     In June 1994, the Partnership sold Woodlake Apartments for $22,055,000. 
     In connection with the sale, the buyer assumed the existing first mortgage
     note in the amount of approximately $17,476,000 and the balance paid in
     cash.  In July 1994, the Partnership reacquired Nob Hill Apartments for
     $700,000 cash, subject to existing liens secured by the property.  The
     property was recorded at $6,803,000 which in addition to cash paid was the
     aggregate carrying amount of the liens, including those owned by the
     Partnership on the date of acquisition, net of a deferred gain of
     $5,179,000 and allowance for possible loan losses of $5,212,000.  The
     junior liens owned by the Partnership were effectively extinguished.  In
     December 1994, Nob Hill was sold for $7,400,000.  The buyer assumed an
     existing first mortgage note of $5,873,000, and paid the balance in cash. 
     The Partnership recognized net gains on sale of real estate investments of
     $6,859,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994.<PAGE>


     <PAGE>33
     During 1993, the Partnership sold 400 Office Park for $500,000 all cash
     and recognized a loss on the sale of $71,655.  Additionally, the
     Partnership reacquired Cherry Hill Office Center by credit bid of its
     mortgage after the borrower failed to perform under the terms of a
     bankruptcy court approved reorganization plan.  The property was recorded
     at $3,722,248, representing the carrying value of its mortgage note
     receivable of $7,050,000, net of deferred gain of $3,327,752, which amount
     approximated the estimated market value on that date.  Acquisition costs
     paid in cash were $9,896.  There were no sales of real estate for the year
     ended December 31, 1992.  Gain on sale of investments in real estate in
     1992 relates to recognition of previously deferred gains of $125,263.

     The sales of Woodlake Apartments and Nob Hill Apartments, to the extent of
     the assumption of mortgage notes payable by the purchasers and the
     foreclosure of Cherry Hill, and the portion of the reacquisition of Nob
     Hill Apartments in exchange for mortgage notes receivable represent non-
     cash investing and financing activities and have been excluded from the
     statements of cash flow.


     (5) Mortgage and Other Notes Receivable

     During 1994, the Partnership reacquired Nob Hill Apartments and all of the
     junior liens owned were effectively extinguished (Refer to Note 4). 
     During 1993, the Partnership sold its interest in a mortgage note for
     $725,000 to an affiliate of the borrower which had previously filed for
     protection from creditors under Chapter XI of the United States Bankruptcy
     Code.  
               

     (6) Investment in Joint Venture

     During 1992, the Partnership and an institutional investor (the
     "Investor") entered into a joint venture agreement where the Partnership
     contributed Riverbend Apartments for an agreed equity value of $14,250,000
     and the Investor contributed $9,500,000 in cash.  The Partnership and the
     Investor hold interests in the venture of 60% and 40%, respectively, and
     the Investor is entitled to a guaranteed return of 9.5% of its average
     investment, as defined in the joint venture agreement.  For financial
     reporting purposes, the Partnership recorded its investment in the joint
     venture at its net carrying amount of the property contributed, and no
     gain or loss was recognized.  All significant matters affecting the joint
     venture require the unanimous consent of the venturers.<PAGE>

     Principal payments including the accelerated maturity of the note secured
     by International Jewelry Center are due as follows: 1995-$41,070,100,
     1996-$648,553, 1997-$66,580,909, 1998-$42,331, 1999-$3,475,652 and
     thereafter $436,233.

     (8) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The Partnership's financial instruments consist of mortgage notes
     receivable, mortgage notes payable and cash equivalents.  For cash
     equivalents, their carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. 
     The fair value of mortgage notes receivable (which are secured by liens on
     residential apartments) have been estimated by assessing the underlying
     value of the Partnership's investment in the collateral, which was equal
     to the mortgage notes receivable net carrying amount at December 31, 1993. 
     The Partnership did not own any mortgage notes receivable at December 31,
     1994.  Mortgage 
     notes payable have been valued by discounting future payments required
     under the terms of these obligations at rates currently available to the
     Partnership for debt with similar maturities, terms and underlying
     collateral, and is estimated at $104,800,000 and $157,000,000 at December
     31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

     <PAGE>36
     As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, the tax bases of the Partnership's
     assets and liabilities amounted to $96,877,000 and $130,463,000 of assets,
     and $117,639,000 and $147,383,000 of liabilities, respectively.

     (10)  Property Management Services

     Certain affiliates of the General Partner oversee the management and
     operations of various real estate properties, including those owned by the
     Partnership.  Services performed by affiliates are billed at actual or
     allocated cost, percentage of revenues or net equity.  For the years ended
     December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, billings to the Partnership amounted to
     $2,207,425, $2,509,414, and $2,887,155, respectively, and are included in
     real estate operating expenses.

     (11)  Commitments and Contingencies

     During 1993, the Partnership stopped making regular monthly payments of
     debt service to its lender on the mortgage note secured by the
     International Jewelry Center.  In the interim, the Partnership has paid
     available cash flow from the building to the lender under an informal
     agreement.  In November 1993, the lender declared the loan in default and
     subsequent to December 31, 1994 filed a Notice of Default and Election to
     Sell.  It is presently uncertain whether the Partnership will be able to
     successfully continue to hold the property or obtain some other resolution
     that would be beneficial to it.  Accordingly, the Partnership has recorded
     a reserve for real estate losses of $4,162,000 for the year ended December
     31, 1994 which amount reduces the carrying amount of the property and
     related assets to the carrying amount of all liabilities associated with
     the property.

     The Partnership is a party to certain actions directly related to its
     normal business operations.  While the ultimate outcome is not presently
     determinable with certainty, the Partnership believes that the resolution
     of these matters will not have a material effect on its financial position
     and operations.

     The Partnership has secured irrevocable letters of credit in the amount of
     approximately $1,000,000 which primarily serve as additional collateral
     securing certain financing.

     The Partnership has incurred cash flow losses from operations in recent
     years.  Office markets where the Registrant owns properties have
     experienced extended periods of high vacancy rates, significantly lower
     effective rental rates, reduced demand, and higher risks of tenant
     failure.  This has resulted in revenues that have been insufficient to pay
     for operating expenses, debt service and required capital expenditures at
     those properties.  The Partnership has historically covered the cash flow
     deficits of these commercial properties with cash flow from its
     residential and other commercial properties, proceeds from secured and
     unsecured financing, and sales and joint venturing of real estate
     properties.<PAGE>





     <PAGE>37
     The general partner projects that it will be able to generate sufficient
     cash flow to cover the deficits at these properties in 1995.


     (12) Commercial Operating Leases

     Minimum future rentals on noncancelable commercial operating leases in
     respect of space leased by the Partnership to occupancy tenants for each
     of the five succeeding fiscal years are as follows: 1995 -$13,171,579,
     1996 - $11,509,819, 1997 - $8,908,456, 1998 - $7,101,471, 1999 -
     $5,511,025 and thereafter $12,711,347.  The minimum rentals received on
     noncancelable commercial operating leases for the year ended December 31,
     1994 was $12,886,929.<PAGE>
