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

Results of Operations
At March 31, 2004 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 97.4% during the first
quarter of 2004 as compared to 92.8% for the first quarter of
2003.

FIRST QUARTER 2004 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 2003

Revenue from property operations increased $7,896, or 1.93%, for
the first quarter of 2004, as compared to the first quarter of
2003. Other property income increased $7,554 or 42.4% mainly due
to increased fee collections. The following table illustrates
the components:

Increase Percent
(Decrease) Change

Rental income 342 0.09%
Other property 7,554 42.40%
7,896 1.93%



Property operating expenses: decreased by $18,862 or 4.02% for
the first quarter of 2004 compared to the first quarter of 2003
due primarily to decreased maintenance and repair costs.
Maintenance & repairs decreased $15,161 or 21.21% due to
decreased exterior building maintenance Insurance costs
decreased $10,143 or 33.12% due to lower flood insurance costs.
Utilities decreased $6,398 or 13.16 due to lower electric and gas
consumption. The following table illustrates the components:


Increase Percent
(Decrease) Change

Salaries & wages 5,322 6.99%
Maintenance & repairs (15,161) 21.21%
Utilities (6,398) 13.16%

Property management fees 395 1.93%
Net Increase (Decrease) (18,862) 4.02%




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

(Decrease) Change

Rental income 29,320 9.92%
Other property (9,645) 55.85%

(Decrease)


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:

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, 2004, the Partnership had $103,500 in cash
and cash equivalents as compared to $19,115 as of December 31,
2003. The net increase in cash of $84,385 was cash flow from
operations.

The property is encumbered by a non-recourse mortgage with a
principal balance of $3,981,565 as of March 31, 2004. 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
$3,169,117.

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, 2004 is approximately
$2,190,000 of which $858,000 is the remaining distribution
preference and $1,332,000 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 $110,000, $523,560, and $985,408, respectively,
were made to the special limited partners in accordance with this
agreement.
