FIRST WILKOW VENTURE
FORM 10-Q
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
MARCH 31, 2005

Overview

Reference is made to the Registrant's annual report for the year ended
December 31, 2004, for a discussion of the Registrant's business.

On January 6, 2005, the Registrant made a distribution to its partners in
the amount of $1,042,588, or $6.10 per unit.



FIRST WILKOW VENTURE
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2005

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.

In December 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46R (FIN 46R),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," which replaces FIN 46,
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," which was issued in January
2003. 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. 46R 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 BEGINNING of the Registrant's fiscal year beginning
January 1, 2005. The Registrant has determined that it is not the "primary
beneficiary", as defined by FIN No. 46R with respect to any of its
unconsolidated real estate investments.

Reference is made to the Registrant's annual report for the year ended
December 31, 2004, 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 - Subsequent Events

On April 10, 2005, the Registrant made a distribution to its partners in
the amount of $1,068,225, or $6.25 per unit, based on 170,916 units
outstanding as of March 31, 2005.



REMARKS

In the opinion of the General Partners, the financial information of this
report includes all adjustments, including estimated provisions for items
normally settled at year end, and is a fair statement of the results for the
interim ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.

SIGNATURES
