                              PART I

Item 1.  Business

      The   Registrant,  American  Republic  Realty  Fund  I,  (the
"Partnership"),  is  a  limited  partnership  organized  under  the
Wisconsin Uniform Limited Partnership Act pursuant to a Certificate
of  Limited Partnership dated December 22, 1982. As of December 31,
2001,  the Partnership consisted of an individual general  partner,
Mr.  Robert  J.  Werra,  (the "General Partner")  and  741  limited
partners owning 11,000 limited partnership interests at $1,000  per
interest.   The  distribution  of  limited  partnership   interests
commenced  May  2,  1983 and ended April 17, 1984,  pursuant  to  a
Registration  Statement on Form S-11 under the  Securities  Act  of
1933 (Registration #0-11578) as amended.

    The Partnership was organized to acquire a diversified portfolio of
income-producing real properties, primarily apartments, as well  as
office   buildings,   industrial  buildings,  and   other   similar
properties.

    During 1983 and 1984, the Partnership acquired four properties:
Kenwood  Gardens Apartments, a 104 unit apartment community located
in Fort Myers, Florida (acquired on September 1, 1983, subsequently
disposed of by sale during 1988), Jupiter Plaza Office/Showroom,  a
131,440  rentable  square  foot  commercial  building  located   in
Garland,  Texas  (acquired  on  September  29,  1983,  subsequently
disposed  of in foreclosure during 1988), Four Winds Apartments,  a
154 unit apartment community located in Orange Park, Florida (Phase
I  acquired September 12, 1983 and Phase II acquired May  1,  1984)
and Forestwood Apartments (formerly Oak Creek) a 263 unit apartment
community  located in Bedford, Texas (acquired December 20,  1983).
No  additional properties were purchased by the Partnership and the
Partnership  will not acquire additional properties in the  future.
The properties remaining are described more fully in this report at
"Item 2. Properties".

     Univesco, Inc.("Univesco"), a Texas corporation, eighty  three
percent  owned by Robert J. Werra ("Univesco") manages the  affairs
of  the  Partnership.  Univesco acts as  the  managing  agent  with
respect  to the Partnership's properties. Univesco may also  engage
other on-site property managers and other agents to the extent  the
management considers appropriate. The General Partner has  ultimate
authority regarding property management decisions.

     The  Partnership competes in the residential  rental  markets.
Univesco  prepared  marketing analyses for all property  areas  and
determined that these areas contain other like properties which are
considered  competitive  on the basis of  location,  amenities  and
rental  rates. It is realistic to assume that additional properties
similar  to the foregoing will be constructed within their  various
market areas.

    No material expenditure has been made or is anticipated for either
Partnership-sponsored   or   consumer  research   and   development
activities relating to the development or improvement of facilities
or  services provided by the Partnership. There neither  has  been,
nor  are any anticipated, material expenditures required to  comply
with  any  federal, state, or local environmental provisions  which
would materially affect the earnings or competitive position of the
Partnership.

    The Partnership is engaged solely in the business of real estate
investments.  Its  business  is  believed  by  management  to  fall
entirely  within  a  single industry segment. Management  does  not
anticipate  that there will be any material seasonal  effects  upon
the operation of the Partnership.

Competition and Other Factors


     The majority of the Properties' leases are six to twelve month
terms.  Accordingly,  operating income  is  highly  susceptible  to
changing  market conditions. Occupancy and local market  rents  are
driven by general market conditions which include job creation, new
construction  of single and multi-family projects,  and  demolition
and other reduction in net supply of apartment units.

    Rents have generally been increasing in recent years due to the
generally  positive relationship between apartment unit supply  and
demand  in  the Partnership's markets. However, the properties  are
subject  to  substantial competition from similar and  often  newer
properties in the vicinity in which they are located. In  addition,
operating  expenses and capitalized expenditures have increased  as
units  are  updated and made more competitive in the market  place.
(See  Item  7  "Management's Discussion and Analysis  of  Financial
Condition and Results of Operations".)


Item 2.  Properties

     At December 31, 2001 the Partnership owned two properties with
approximately 416,623 net rentable square feet. Both properties are
apartment communities.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders


     No matters were submitted to a vote of the unit holders of the
Partnership during the fourth quarter of 2001.

     By  virtue  of its organization as a limited partnership,  the
Partnership  has  outstanding no securities possessing  traditional
voting  rights.  However, as provided and qualified in the  Limited
Partnership  Agreement, limited partners have  voting  rights  for,
among  other  things,  the  removal  of  the  General  Partner  and
dissolution of the Partnership.

                              PART II

Item 5.   Market for the Partnership's Securities and Related Unit
          Holder Matters


The Partnership's outstanding securities are in the form of Limited
Partnership  Interests ("Interests"). The distribution  period  for
the  sale  of the Interests began May 2, 1983,and closed April  17,
1984.  As of December 31, 2001 there were approximately 741 limited
partners owning 11,000 limited partnership interests at $1,000  per
interest.  A public market for trading Interests has not  developed
and  none  is  expected  to develop. In addition,  transfer  of  an
Interest   is   restricted  pursuant  to  the  Limited  Partnership
Agreement.

Although  a  public market for trading Interests has not developed,
MP  Value Fund 5, LLC acquired 1,444.5 units, approximately  13.1%,
of  the outstanding Interests of the partnership during, 1999.   MP
Value Fund 5 has also tendered offers to other owners, although  no
additional  Interests have been sold.  The registrant knows  of  no
other activity involving the sale or acquisition of Interest.

The  General Partner continues to review the Partnership's  ability
to  make  distributions on a quarter-by-quarter basis, however,  no
such  distributions have been made and none are anticipated in  the
immediate  future  due  to  the debt service  requirements  of  the
Partnership.

An  analysis  of  taxable  income or  (loss)  allocated,  and  cash
distributed to Investors per $1,000 unit is as follows:

          and Results of Operations

This  discussion  should  be  read in conjunction  with  Item  6  -
"Selected  Financial Data" and Item 8 - "Financial  Statements  and
Supplemental Information."

Results of Operations: 2001 VERSUS 2000 -

Revenue  from  Property Operations increased  $99,614  or  3.6%  as
compared  to  2000.   This increase is primarily  attributed  to  a
$87,680 increase in rental revenue, which was principally due to an
increase  in  rents.  Interest income increased $10,990  due  to  a
increase  in  available  funds  for investment  during  2001.   The
increase  in  other revenues of $944 were principally caused  by  a
increase  in fees from tenants and vending revenues. The  following
table illustrates the increases:

                        Increase/
                       (Decrease)

Rental income           $87,680
Interest                 10,990
Other                       944
Net Increase            $99,614

Property  operating expenses for 2001 increased $76,599  or  2.68%.
Utilities  increased  $33,998 or 17.75%  primarily  due  to  higher
utility  rates.   Interest  expense on note  payable  to  affiliate
decreased  $2,175  due to the payoff of the  note  early  in  2000.
Real  estate  taxes  increased $21,413 or 7.73%  due  to  increased
assessed  valuation of the underlying real estate assets.   General
and  administrative expenses increased $28,237 or  7.09%  primarily
due  to increased operational administrative costs. Maintenance and
repairs  increased $9,646 or 3.78% due primarily to  the  increased
deferred  maintenance  projects  performed.   Interest  expense  on
mortgage   payable  decreased  $9,129  or  1.1%   due   to   normal
amortization.  Administrative service fees are paid to an affiliate
of  the general partner and represent reimbursements for accounting
and  bookkeeping costs.  Property management fees are  paid  to  an
affiliated entity and represent approximately 5% of gross  revenues
(see  Note  C  to  the  Financial  Statements  and  Schedule  Index
contained in Item 8). The following table illustrates the increases
or (decreases):

                                                           Increase

Results of Operations: 2000 VERSUS 1999 -

Revenue  from  Property Operations increased  $44,202  or  1.6%  as
compared  to  1999.   This increase is primarily  attributed  to  a
$38,206 increase in rental revenue which was principally due to  an
increase  in  rents.  Interest income increased  $7,107  due  to  a
increase  in  available  funds  for investment  during  2000.   The
decrease  in  other operating revenues of $1,111  were  principally
caused by a decrease in fees from tenants and vending revenues. The
following table illustrates the increases:

                            Increase/
                           (Decrease)

Property  operating expenses for 2000 decreased $27,423  or  0.95%.
Interest expense on note payable to affiliate decreased $22,446 due
to  the  payoff  of  the  note early in  2000.Interest  expense  on
mortgage  payable  decreased  $8,439 due  to  normal  amortization.
Depreciation   and   amortization  increased   primarily   due   to
improvements  done  to  the properties.   Maintenance  and  repairs
decreased $31,570 or 11.01% due primarily to the decreased deferred
maintenance projects needed.  Property management fees are paid  to
an  affiliated  entity  and  represent approximately  5%  of  gross
revenues (see Note C to the Financial Statements and Schedule Index
contained in Item 8). The following table illustrates the increases
or (decreases):

Liquidity and  Capital Resources

While  it  is the General Partner's primary intention to  operate
and  manage  the  existing real estate investments,  the  General
Partner  also continually evaluates this investment in  light  of
current  economic  conditions and trends to  determine  if  these
assets should be considered for disposal. At this time, there  is
no plan to dispose of either Property.

As of December 31, 2001, the Partnership had $294,437 in cash and
cash equivalents as compared to $442,739 as of December 31, 2000.
The  reduction of cash on hand reflects the distribution  of  $50
per  limited partnership unit paid on December 14, 2001. See Note
C to the Financial Statements contained in Item 8 for information
regarding related party transactions.

The  properties are encumbered by two non-recourse mortgage notes
as of December 31, 2001.  These mortgages payable have a carrying
value  of  $10,341,178 at December 31, 2001.  The mortgage  notes
were  entered  into  during  1997 to refinance  certain  mortgage
notes.

The  general  partner had provided funding to the Partnership  in
the form of notes payable that were paid off during 2000.  During
February  2000, the Partnership repaid the $165,346 remaining  to
the  general  partner.  The general partner is not  obligated  to
provide additional funding to the Partnership.

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

The  Partnership's  required principal  payments  due  under  the
stated  terms  of the Partnership's  mortgage notes  payable  and
notes  payable  to  affiliates  are $129,941,  $140,551  $152,028
$164,442 and $177,870 for each of the next five years.


Item  7a  - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Market Risk

The Partnership is exposed to interest rate changes primarily  as
a result of its real estate mortgages.  The Partnerships interest
rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest
rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower it's overall
borrowing  costs.   To  achieve its objectives,  the  partnership
borrows primarily at fixed rates.  The partnership does not enter
into derivative or interest rate transactions for any purpose.

The Partnerships' activities do not contain material risk due  to
changes  in  general market conditions.  The partnership  invests
only  in fully insured bank certificates of deposits, and  mutual
funds investing in United States treasury obligations.

                  INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the General Partner and Limited Partners of
    American Republic Realty Fund I

We  have  audited  the accompanying combined  balance  sheets  of
American  Republic  Realty  Fund I and  subsidiary,  a  Wisconsin
limited  partnership (the "Partnership") as of December 31,  2001
and  2000,  and  the related combined statements  of  operations,
partners'  equity (deficit), and cash flows for the  years  ended
December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999.  These financial statements are
the   responsibility  of  the  Partnership's   management.    Our
responsibility  is  to  express an  opinion  on  these  financial
statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  U.S.  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 management,  as
well  as  evaluating the overall presentation  of  the  financial
statements.   We  believe that our audits  provide  a  reasonable
basis for our opinion.

In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present
fairly,  in  all  material respects, the  financial  position  of
American Republic Realty Fund I as of December 31, 2001 and 2000,
and  the  results of its operations and its cash  flows  for  the
years  ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 in conformity  with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.  Schedule III for
the year ended December 31, 2001 is presented for the purpose of
complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and
is not a required part of the basic financial statements.  This
schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion,
fairly states, in all material respects, the financial data
required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   December 31, 2001 and 2000

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Nature of Operations

     American  Republic  Realty  Fund I  (the  "Partnership"),  a
     Wisconsin  limited partnership, was formed on  December  22,
     1982,  under  the  laws of the state of Wisconsin,  for  the
     purpose  of  acquiring, maintaining, developing,  operating,
     and  selling  buildings and improvements.   The  Partnership
     operates  rental  apartments  in  Texas  and  Florida.   The
     Partnership  will  be  terminated  by  December  31,   2012,
     although this date can be extended if certain events  occur.
     The general partner is Mr. Robert J. Werra.

     An  aggregate of 20,000 units is authorized, of which 11,000
     were  outstanding for each of the three years ended December
     31,  2001.   Under the terms of the offering, no  additional
     units will be offered.

     Allocation of Net Income (Loss) and Cash

     Net  income and net operating cash flow, as defined  in  the
     limited  partnership agreement, are allocated first  to  the
     limited   partners  in  an  amount  equal  to   a   variable
     distribution  preference on capital contributions  from  the
     first  day of the month following their capital contribution
     and,  thereafter, 10% to the general partner and 90% to  the
     limited  partners.  Net loss is allocated 1% to the  general
     partner and 99% to the limited partners.

     Net income from the sale of property is allocated first,  to
     the  extent  there  are cumulative net  losses,  1%  to  the
     general partner and 99% to the limited partners; second,  to
     the   limited   partners  in  an  amount  equal   to   their
     distribution preference; and, thereafter, 15% to the general
     partner and 85% to the limited partners.

     Cash  proceeds from the sale of property or refinancing  are
     allocated  first to the limited partners to  the  extent  of
     their   capital   contributions   and   their   distribution
     preference  and, thereafter, 15% to the general partner  and
     85% to the limited partners.

     Basis of Accounting

     The  Partnership  maintains  its  books  on  the  basis   of
     accounting  used for federal income tax reporting  purposes.
     Memorandum   entries   have  been  made   to   present   the
     accompanying   financial  statements  in   accordance   with
     generally accepted accounting principles.

     Investments in Real Estate and Depreciation

     Buildings,  improvements,  and furniture  and  fixtures  are
     recorded  at  cost  and depreciated using the  straight-line
     method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging
     from 5 to 27.5 years.

     Income Taxes

     No  provision  for  income taxes has  been  made  since  the
     partners  report their respective share of  the  results  of
     operations on their individual income tax return.

     Revenue Recognition

     The Partnership has leased substantially all of its rental
     apartments under cancelable leases for periods generally
     less than one year.  Rental revenue is recognized on a
     monthly basis as earned.

     Deferred Financing Costs

     Costs  incurred  to  obtain  mortgage  financing  are  being
     amortized  over the life of the mortgage using the straight-
     line method.

     Combination

     The   financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  the
     Partnership  and  a wholly owned entity.   All  intercompany
     amounts have been eliminated.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents

     The Partnership considers all highly liquid instruments with
     a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

     Long-Lived Assets

     In   accordance  with  Statement  of  Financial   Accounting
     Standards  ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting For the  Impairment
     of  Long-Lived  Assets  and  For  Long-Lived  Assets  to  be
     Disposed  Of", the Partnership records impairment losses  on
     long-lived  assets  used in operations  when  indicators  of
     impairment  are  present  and the  undiscounted  cash  flows
     estimated to be generated by those assets are less than  the
     assets'  carrying amount.  SFAS No. 121 also  addresses  the
     accounting  for  long-lived assets that are expected  to  be
     disposed  of.   Based on current estimates, management  does
     not believe impairment of operating properties is present.

     Computation of Earnings Per Unit

     The   Partnership   has  adopted  Statement   of   Financial
     Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.128, "Earnings per  Share".
     Basic  earnings per unit is computed by dividing net  income
     (loss)  attributable to the limited partners'  interests  by
     the  weighted average number of units outstanding.  Earnings
     per unit assuming dilution would be computed by dividing net
     income   (loss)   attributable  to  the  limited   partners'
     interests  by  the  weighted average  number  of  units  and
     equivalent  units  outstanding.   The  Partnership  has   no
     equivalent units outstanding for any period presented.

     Concentration of Credit Risk

     Financial   instruments   which  potentially   subject   the
     Partnership   to  concentrations  of  credit  risk   consist
     primarily  of  cash. The Partnership places  its  cash  with
     various  financial institutions.  The Partnership's exposure
     to  loss  should  any of these financial  institutions  fail
     would  be  limited  to any amount in excess  of  the  amount
     insured  by  the  Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation  or
     Securities    Investor   Protection    Corporation,    where
     applicable.  Management does not believe significant  credit
     risk exists at December 31, 2001.

     Use of Estimates

     The  preparation of financial statements in conformity  with
     generally accepted accounting principles requires management
     to  make  estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
     amounts   of  assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure   of
     contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at  the  date  of  the
     financial  statements and the reported amounts  of  revenues
     and  expenses during that reporting period.  Actual  results
     could differ from those estimates.

     Environmental Remediation Costs

     The   Partnership   accrues  for  losses   associated   with
     environmental remediation obligations when such  losses  are
     probable  and  reasonably estimable. Accruals for  estimated
     losses  from environmental remediation obligations generally
     are  recognized  no later than completion  of  the  remedial
     feasibility  study.  Such accruals are adjusted  as  further
     information  develops  or  circumstances  change.  Costs  of
     future    expenditures    for   environmental    remediation
     obligations  are  not  discounted to  their  present  value.
     Recoveries  of  environmental remediation costs  from  other
     parties are recorded as assets when their receipt is  deemed
     probable.   Project  management  is   not   aware   of   any
     environmental remediation obligations that would  materially
     affect  the operations, financial position or cash flows  of
     the Project.

     Comprehensive Income

     Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards   No.   130,
     Reporting  Comprehensive Income, (SFAS 130),  requires  that
     total  comprehensive  income be reported  in  the  financial
     statements.  For the years ended December 31, 2001, December
     31,   2000,   and   December  31,  1999,  the  Partnership's
     comprehensive  income (loss) was equal  to  its  net  income
     (loss) and the Partnership does not have income meeting  the
     definition of other comprehensive income.

     Segment Information

     The  Partnership is in one business segment, the real estate
     investment  business, and follows the  requirements  of  FAS
     131,  "Disclosures  about  Segments  of  an  Enterprise  and
     Related Information."

     Additionally,  the Partnership reimburses the affiliate  for
     administrative   expenditures.   The  following   fees   and
     reimbursements earned by an affiliate of the general partner
     in 2001, 2000 and 1999:

NOTE E - RECONCILIATION OF BOOK TO TAX LOSS (UNAUDITED)

     If the accompanying financial statements had been prepared
     in accordance with the accrual income tax basis of
     accounting rather than generally accepted accounting
     principals ("GAAP"), the excess of revenues over expenses
     for 2001 would have been as follows:



  Net loss per accompanying financial statements                  $(42,136)

  Add - book basis depreciation using straight-line method         684,455

  Deduct - income tax basis depreciation expense using ACRS
    method                                                         126,729

  Excess of revenues over expenses, accrual income tax basis     $ 515,590



NOTE F - ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The   following  estimated  fair  value  amounts  have  been
     determined  using  available  market  information  or  other
     appropriate    valuation    methodologies    that    require
     considerable  judgement  in  interpreting  market  data  and
     developing estimates.  Accordingly, the estimates  presented
     herein  are  not necessarily indicative of the amounts  that
     the  Partnership could realize in a current market exchange.
     The  use  of  different market assumptions and/or estimation
     methodologies  may have a material effect on  the  estimated
     fair value amounts.

     The  fair value of financial instruments that are short-term
     or  reprice  frequently  and have a  history  of  negligible
     credit  losses  is considered to approximate their  carrying
     value.   These  include cash and cash equivalents,  accounts
     payable and other liabilities.

     Management has reviewed the carrying values of its mortgages
     payable  and notes payable to related parties in  connection
     with  interest rates currently available to the  Partnership
     for  borrowings with similar characteristics and  maturities
     and  has  determined that their estimated fair  value  would
     approximate their carrying value as of December 31, 2001 and
     2000.

     The  fair  value information presented herein  is  based  on
     pertinent  information  available to  management.   Although
     management   is  not  aware  of  any  factors   that   would
     significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts,  such
     amounts  have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes
     of   these   financial  statements  since  that  date,   and
     therefore,  current  estimates  of  fair  value  may  differ
     significantly from the amounts presented herein.

    Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements on Accounting and Financial
            Disclosure

On  November  6,  1998,  an 8-K was filed to disclose  the  change  in
auditors.   No  financial statements were issued in  conjunction  with
this   filing.    The  Registrant  has  not  been  involved   in   any
disagreements on accounting and financial disclosure.


                               PART III

    Item 10.  Directors and Executive Officer of the Partnership

     The  Partnership itself has no officers or directors.  Robert  J.
Werra is the General Partner of the Partnership.

    Robert J. Werra, 63, the General Partner, Mr. Werra joined Loewi &
Co.,  Incorporated  ("Loewi") in 1967 as a Registered  Representative.
In  1971,  he  formed  the  Loewi  real  estate  department,  and  was
responsible  for  its  first  sales of privately  placed  real  estate
programs.   Loewi Realty was incorporated in 1974, as a  wholly  owned
subsidiary of Loewi & Co., with Mr. Werra as President.  In 1980,  Mr.
Werra,  along  with three other individuals, formed Amrecorp  Inc.  to
purchase  the stock of Loewi Real Estate Inc., and Loewi  Realty.   In
1991  Univesco, Inc. became the management agent for the  Partnership.
Limited  Partners  have no right to participate in management  of  the
Partnership.

    Item 11.  Management Remuneration and Transactions

      As  stated  above, the Partnership has no officers or directors.
Pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the Limited Partnership  Agreement,  the
General Partner receives 1% of Partnership income and loss and  up  to
15%  of  Net      Proceeds  received  from  sale  or  refinancing   of
Partnership  properties  (after  return  of  Limited  Partner  capital
contributions  and  payment  of a 6% Current  Distribution  Preference
thereon).

          Univesco, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partner, is entitled
to  receive  a  management  fee with respect  to  properties  actually
managed  of  5%  of the actual gross receipts from a  property  or  an
amount competitive in price or terms for comparable services available
from  non-affiliated persons.  The Partnership is  also  permitted  to
engage  in  various transactions involving affiliates of  the  General
Partner  as  described under the caption "Compensation  and  Fees"  at
pages  6-8, "Management" at page 17 and "Allocation of Net Income  and
Losses and Cash     Distributions" at pages 34-36 of the Prospectus as
supplemented,  incorporated  in the Form S-11  Registration  Statement
