FIRST WILKOW VENTURE
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2003




1 - Financial Statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles. Under this method of accounting,
revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when incurred.

No provision for federal income taxes has been made since First Wilkow
Venture (the "Registrant") is a partnership and the partners report their
pro rata share of income or loss individually.

Reference is made to the Registrant's annual report for the year ended
December 31, 2002, for a description of other accounting principles and
additional details for the Registrant's financial condition, results of
operations, changes in partners' capital and statement of cash flows for the
year then ended. The details provided in the notes thereto have not changed
as a result of normal transactions in the interim.

2 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN No. 46"),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities". The objective of this
interpretation is to provide guidance on how to identify a variable interest
entity ("VIE") and determine whether the assets, liabilities,
non-controlling interests, and results of operations of a VIE need to be
included in a company's consolidated financial statements. A company that
holds variable interests in an entity will need to consolidate the entity if
the company's interest in the VIE is such that the company will absorb a
majority of the VIE's expected losses and/or receive a majority of the
entity's expected residual returns, if they occur. FIN No. 46 also requires
additional disclosures by primary beneficiaries and other significant
variable interest holders. In connection with any of the Registrant's
unconsolidated real estate investments that may qualify as a VIE, provisions
of this interpretation are effective at the end of the Registrant's fiscal
year beginning January 1, 2004. The Registrant is currently assessing its
unconsolidated real estate investments to determine the impact of any
potential consolidation requirements in applying FIN No. 46.

3 - Supplemental Schedule of Noncash Investing and Financing Activities

Proceeds from the sale of real estate to retire debt were $385,367 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2003.

4 - Subsequent Events

On October 10, 2003, the Registrant made a distribution to its partners in
the amount of $188,007.60, or $1.10 per unit, based on 170,916 units
outstanding at September 30, 2003.

On October 10, 2003, M & J Retail Limited Partnership received a
distribution related to the sale of Bayfair Mall Shopping Center in the
amount of $1,171,545.
