Item 2. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

Results of Operations
At March 31, 2003 the Partnership owned Las Brisas
Apartments, a 376-unit apartment community located at 2010
South Clark Street, Abilene, Taylor County, Texas 79606. The
Partnership purchased a fee simple interest in Las Brisas
Apartments on July 30, 1986. The property contains
approximately 312,532 net rentable square feet, one
clubhouse, and five laundry facilities located on
approximately 19.11 acres of land.

The occupancy of Las Brisas averaged 92.8% during the first
quarter of 2003 as compared to 89.3% for the first quarter
of 2002.

FIRST QUARTER 2003 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 2002

Revenue from property operations increased $19,675, or
6.29%, for the first quarter of 2003, as compared to the
first quarter of 2002. Increased occupancy in the first
quarter of 2003 accounted for the increase in rental income
of $29,320 or 9.92%. Other property income decreased $9,645
or 55.85% mainly due to decreased fee collections. The
following table illustrates the components:

Three Month Comparison

Increase Percent
(Decrease) Change

Rental income 29,320 9.92%
Other property (9,645) 55.85%
Net Increase (Decrease) 19,675 6.29%


Property operating expenses: increased by $40,726 or 11.79%
for the first quarter of 2003 compared to the first quarter
of 2002 due primarily to increased insurance costs.
Insurance increased $4,593 or 68.65% due to higher premiums
and a new flood insurance policy as required by the new
lender. Contract service increased $3,404 or 47.65% due to
higher cable rates for the property. Maintenance & repairs
increased $14,199 or 25.37% due to roof and carpentry
repairs. Utilities increased $9,397 or 25.22% from higher
natural gas costs. The following table illustrates the
components:

Increase Percent
(Decrease) Change

Salaries & wages 7,726 10.87%
Maintenance & repairs 14,199 25.37%
Utilities 9,397 25.22%

Net Increase (Decrease) 40,726 11.79%










FIRST QUARTER 2002 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 2001

Revenue from property operations decreased $1,194, or 0.38%,
for the first quarter of 2002, as compared to the first
quarter of 2001. Decreased occupancy to 89.3% in the first
quarter of 2002 from 93.4% in the first quarter of 2001
accounted for the decrease in rental income of $3,771 or
0.1.28%. Other property income increased $2,577 or 14.92%
mainly due to increased fee collections. The following
table illustrates the components:

Increase Percent
(Decrease) Change

Rental income (3,771) 1.28%
Other property 2,577 14.92%
Net Increase (Decrease) (1,194) 0.38%
(Decrease)


Property operating expenses: increased by $36,043 or 10.44%
for the first quarter of 2002 compared to the first quarter
of 2001 due primarily to increased insurance costs.
Insurance increased $16,043 or 240% due to higher premiums
and a new flood insurance policy as required by the new
lender. Maintenance & repairs increased $18,074 or 32.3% due
to parking lot repairs done in the first quarter of 2002.
Utilities decreased $11,935 or 32.03%, due to gas cost
decreases. Contract services increased $5,249 or 73.47% due
to increased cable television and lawn care costs.
General and administrative expenses increased $2,920 or
23.64% mainly due to increased advertising costs. The
following table illustrates the components:

Increase Percent
(Decrease) Change

Salaries & wages (889) 1.25%

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On July 31, 1986 the Partnership purchased the Las
Brisas Apartments. The purchase provided for the sellers to
receive cash at closing and notes totaling $660,000. On
September 30, 1987 the principal balance due totaled
$210,000. In order to obtain the necessary proceeds to
finally retire these notes the General Partners offered 254
Units of the Partnership to two investors at the price of
$200,660. No commissions were taken nor did the General
Partner receive any fees in connection with these interests.
The Partnership then obtained short term financing from
Resource Savings Association totaling $260,000, bearing
interest at the rate of 2% over prime and payable quarterly
together with principal payments of $15,000 each. Security
for the loan was provided by a $100,000 certificate of
deposit and the personal guaranties of the Partnership's
General Partners. The Resource Savings Association loan
matured December 31,1983. In September, 1991 Mr. Werra paid
$40,750 in satisfaction of his personal guaranty of the
Partnership loan.

The Partnership defaulted in its debt obligations in
August, 1988. The Partnership was forced to seek protection
under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in
December, 1988 when negotiations with Aetna Life Insurance
Company, ("Aetna") the holder of the two underlying first
mortgage notes and Las Brisas Apartments, Ltd. and Abilene
Associates, Ltd., the holders of respective wrap mortgage
notes ("Wrap Note Holders") failed to provide any relief.

The Partnership emerged from bankruptcy on May 15,
1990, having negotiated a modification of its debt with its
major creditors. In June, 1989 an affiliate of the
individual General Partner provided $401,910.77 to bring the
Aetna notes current. At the same time the Wrap Note Holders
agreed to reduced the payments due on their respective wrap
notes in order to mirror the payments made on the underlying
Aetna notes. The term of each wrap note will be extended
from July 31, 1995 to July 1, 2002 and July 1, 2007
respectively. The $401,910.77 note is collateralized by
junior mortgage on the property. In addition, the affiliate
has the option to purchase the wrap notes for $85,000 at any
time prior to the respective maturity dates of the wrap
notes.

Commencing on July 1,1992, payments on the notes
reverted to the original amounts of $19,442 and $15,454.
During the prior two years the Partnership deferred $214,460
in debit service payments. The modification gave the
Partnership room to deal with the economic difficulties
experienced in the market at the time.

In February 1991, Amrecorp Realty Inc. resigned as the
Managing General Partner of the Partnership. As was
communicated to all limited partners, this step was taken in
order to minimize any effect that Amrecorp's financial
difficulties might have on the partnership. Management of
the Partnership's assets is performed by Univesco, Inc., a
Texas corporation, Robert J. Werra, CEO.

On November 12, 1993 the Partnership refinanced the
properties secured debt with an 8.15%, ten year, mortgage
loan from Lexington Mortgage Company. The $3,250,000
mortgage loan provides for monthly payments of $415,000
based on an amortized schedule of 300 months with a final
payment of the entire remaining principal balance in
December 2003. The proceeds of this new loan were used to
pay off the $2,500,000 and $2,300,000 mortgage notes which
previously held the first mortgage position. The old first
mortgagee provided a discount of approximately ten percent
of the outstanding principal balances of two old notes. The
balance of funds needed to retire the old notes
(approximately $100,000) was provided by Robert J. Werra. In
addition Robert J. Werra exercised his option in the
property's wrap mortgage notes. The new lender prohibited
subordinate debt. To meet this requirement the subordinate
debt held by Mr. Werra was converted to a class of equity
with the same terms and conditions as it possessed as debt.
The wrap mortgage lender would not agree to the change in
status so Mr. Werra paid $85,000 to complete his purchase of
the wrap notes and now holds an equity position in the
partnership as a Special Limited partner.

The partnership agreement was amended by vote of the
limited partners to include the appointment of a new
corporate general partner, LBAL, Inc., a Texas corporation
wholly owned by Robert J. Werra.

While it is the General Partners primary intention to
operate and manage the existing real estate investment, the
General Partner also continually evaluates this investment
in light of current economic conditions and trends to
determine if this asset should be considered for disposal.
At this time, there is no plan to dispose of Las Brisas
Apartments.

As of March 31, 2003, the Partnership had $6,995 in
cash and cash equivalents as compared to $23,824 as of
December 31, 2002. The net decrease in cash of $16,829 was
due to distributions to the special limited partner.

The property is encumbered by a non-recourse mortgage
with a principal balance of $4,034,415 as of March 31, 2003.
During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Partnership
refinanced the mortgage payable. The mortgage payable bears
interest at a rate of 6.18% and is payable in monthly
installments of principal and interest of $25,058 through
December 2011, at which time a lump sum payment of
approximately $3,447,000 is due. This mortgage note is
secured by real estate with a net book value of $3,418,117.

For the foreseeable future, the Partnership anticipates
that mortgage principal payments (excluding balloon mortgage
payments), improvements and capital expenditures will be
funded by net cash from operations. The primary source of
capital to fund future Partnership acquisitions and balloon
mortgage payments will be proceeds from the sale financing
or refinancing of the Property.

The special limited partner distribution preference
arises from a preferred return on certain special limited
partnership contributions made in prior years in conjunction
with the refinancing of the mortgage debt. The total unpaid
amount due to the special limited partners at March 31, 2003
is approximately $2,089,000 of which $816,000 is the
remaining distribution preference and $1,273,000 is the
original contribution. Any additional available cash will
then be distributed in accordance with the partnership
agreement. During 2003, 2002, and 2001, distributions of
$70,000, $523,560, and $985,408, respectively, were made to
the special limited partners in accordance with this
agreement.
