                                     PART I

         Item 1. Business. The registrant is a North Carolina limited
partnership formed in July 1986 (hereinafter referred to as the "Partnership").
The Partnership engaged in a "blind pool offering," the proceeds of which were
used to purchase income-producing real property. During the year ended December
31, 1988, the Partnership received the minimum investment required to remove
subscribers' funds from escrow. The Partnership's offering terminated with a
total subscription of $3,195,000 from investor limited partners. The net
proceeds were used to purchase the properties described in Item 2 below, to pay
the expenses of the offering and to fund the working capital account. The funds
not required for those purposes, totaling $84,273, were returned to investors.

         The sole business of the Partnership currently is the operation of the
EastPark Executive Center located in Charlotte, North Carolina ("EastPark").
This commercial office building was purchased with the proceeds of the public
offering and loan funds (described below). The Partnership previously owned a
second office building that was sold on April 24, 1998. (See Item 2 below for a
description of the properties.) The lease terms with the major tenant at
EastPark are summarized below.

         EastPark Executive Center, Charlotte, NC - the General Services
Administrator ("GSA") has a lease term for a ten (10) year period ending on
October 31, 2004, at a rental rate of $14.83 per square foot. GSA may, at its
election, terminate the lease after eight (8) years (November 2002). The GSA
entered into a lease amendment covering an additional 2,200 square feet with a
commencement date of February 1, 2001 at the same rate and term. The GSA leased
premises now include approximately 34,000 square feet. The Partnership incurred
leasehold improvements expense of approximately $1,092,000 for the GSA space as
a condition for renewal of its lease. Such improvements were completed in
October 1996. Upfit and commission costs associated with the new lease amendment
in 2001 were approximately $12,000. The GSA lease accounts for approximately 86%
of the rental income related to the EastPark Executive Center. The remaining
leasehold space is leased to two other tenants.

         The Partnership has no employees of its own; management of the
Partnership's property is performed by FSK Properties, LLC, an affiliate of FSK
Limited Partnership. Administration of the Partnership is performed by the
General Partners. (See Items 10 and 13 below.)

         Item 2. Properties. On June 23, 1989, the Partnership purchased the
EastPark Executive Center, an office complex comprised of two buildings located
in Charlotte, North Carolina with net leasable area of 45,300 square feet, for a
purchase price of $3,155,138 of which $1,500,000 was provided by a first
mortgage loan bearing interest at 10.5% per annum and having a term of 10 years.
This mortgage loan became due in July 1999 and was refinanced with First Union
National Bank. In 1998, the Partnership recorded a loss of $1,392,468 to reflect
the $2,365,800 estimated sales value of the EastPark facility, net of related
costs to sell. In 1999, the Partnership recorded an additional loss of $81,262
to expense additional improvements and to reflect a $2,323,500 reduced sales
value, net of current related costs to sell.

         On November 30, 1989, the Partnership acquired the BB&T Bank Building
(formerly the UCB Building), a three-story office building in Greenville, South
Carolina with net leasable area of 39,138 square feet, for a purchase price of
$4,202,544 of which $3,110,000 was provided by a first mortgage loan from United
Omaha. This mortgage loan became due on December 1, 1996 and was refinanced with
First Union National Bank. On April 24, 1998, this property was sold for
$3,471,000, resulting in a loss to the Partnership of $206,428.

         In connection with the office building purchases, $26,312 of
acquisition costs were capitalized.

         No further purchases of real property are projected and no funds are
available for that purpose. (See Item 7 below, "Status of EastPark Facility" for
recent developments regarding the property.)

         Item 3. Legal Proceedings. The Partnership is not involved in any legal
proceedings and was not so involved during the year ended December 31, 2001.

         Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. Not
applicable.

                                     PART II

         Item 5. Market for the Partnership's Common Equity and Related
Stockholder Matters. There is no established public trading market for the
Partnership's securities. The Partnership has approximately 520 limited
partners. Cash distributions made to the limited partners during the recent
years are set out in the Statements of Cash Flow included in the Financial
Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Report.

         Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.

         Liquidity and Capital Resources

         During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Partnership continued to
fund working capital requirements, although working capital was decreased by
approximately $1,370,000. The decrease in the working capital is mainly due to
the reclassification of long-term debt to short-term due to the loan maturing on
June 30, 2002. The General Partners anticipate seeking refinancing with Wachovia
(f/k/a First Union National Bank), however no assurances can be given that such
refinancing will occur. The working capital deficit at December 31, 2001 was
$1,305,665.

         The cumulative unpaid priority return to the unit holders increased
from $2,895,185 at December 31, 2000 to $3,137,969 at December 31, 2001. This
increase resulted from no distributions being made to partners during the year
pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement. Based on current and projected
commercial real estate market conditions, the General Partners believe that it
is reasonably unlikely that a sale of the Partnership properties would produce
net sale proceeds sufficient to pay any of such priority return. Furthermore,
the General Partners believe that it is reasonably unlikely that the
Partnership's operating income or any refinancing of Partnership debt would
generate sufficient funds to pay the priority return.


                                        3
<PAGE>

         During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Partnership had net income
of $84,672 as compared to the net income of $65,282 in 2000. (See "Results of
Operations" below for explanation of variance.) Rental income, operating
expenses and interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000
resulted exclusively from the operations of the Partnership's commercial real
estate properties. The EastPark Executive Center buildings were 93% leased at
both December 31, 2001 and December 2000.

         See Item 13 (Certain Relationships and Related Transactions) for a
discussion regarding leasing commissions, management fees and repair service
fees paid to FSK Properties, LLC, a General Partner of the Partnership, as well
as administrative reimbursements paid to Internet Services Corporation.

         In the event that funds derived from operations are insufficient to
meet the Partnership's working capital needs, the General Partners have agreed
to fund the shortfall.

         Forward-Looking Statements

         This report contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to
the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future
performance and business of the Partnership. These forward-looking statements
involve certain risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially
from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements.


         Results of Operations

         Comparison of 2001 results with 2000.

         Net income for the year ended December 31, 2001 increased by
approximately $19,000 or 30% as compared to the same period of the prior year.
Rental income increased by 6% due to rental escalations as provided by the
current leases and the additional space leased by the GSA during 2001. Repairs
and maintenance increased approximately $38,000 as compared to the prior year
due to the installation of new security lights, gates and signage on the
property. Professional fees increased by approximately $15,000 due to
commissions on the new leases and additional costs of the management company.
Interest expense is down approximately $41,000 due to lower rates on the
floating rate loan with Wachovia.

         Comparison of 2000 results with 1999.

         Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $205,529.
This is a 91% increase from the prior year. The main cause for the increase is
due to the recording of a loss on impairment of value for the EastPark facility
of $81,262 in the prior year. In 2000, there was no further impairment of value
recorded. Operating income exclusive of the impairment was up approximately
$16,000 or 9%. Rental income was up slightly due to escalation increases on the
current leases. Professional fees are down approximately $32,000 from the prior
years, but increase in repairs and maintenance almost completely offsets the
decrease in professional fees.

         Status of EastPark Facility

         The General Partners remain committed on selling the EastPark facility
and continue to have it listed with a commercial real estate broker. At this
time, the facility is not under contract with any potential buyers. The General
Partners are also working towards extending the leases with the current tenants.
Although the facility is 93% leased, all current tenants have the option to
cancel their leases within the next two years. The GSA has the election to
cancel its lease in November 2002 and accounts for 86% of the total rental
income; accordingly, the General Partners will focus their lease extension
efforts on the GSA. During 2001, the Partnership renewed a 1,902 square foot
lease with a smaller tenant at the same rate as then in effect for an additional
two-year period. This lease will now expire on July 31, 2003. The remaining
tenant's lease expired on February 1, 2002 and the General Partners are
currently negotiating to renew this lease. The General Partners will continue to
search for the best offer for the property and manage it at acceptable standards
until such time as the Partnership can sell the property to a qualified buyer.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


To the Partners
Yager/Kuester Public Fund
   Limited Partnership
Fort Mill, South Carolina

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Yager/Kuester Public Fund
Limited Partnership as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements
of operations, partners' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2001. 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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. 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
financial statement presentation. 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 Yager/Kuester Public Fund
Limited Partnership as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.

NOTE 1.  NATURE OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION, PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT AND
         SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Nature of business and organization: The Partnership is a North Carolina limited
partnership formed in July 1986. The purpose of the Partnership is to acquire,
operate, hold for investment and sell commercial rental property. The
partnership has property located in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The general partners of the Partnership are DRY Limited Partnership, a North
Carolina limited partnership in which Dexter R. Yager, Sr. is the general
partner and FSK Limited Partnership, a North Carolina limited partnership in
which Faison S. Kuester, Jr. is the general partner.

Partnership agreement: Under the terms of the partnership agreement, all taxable
income, tax losses and cash distributions from operations are to be allocated
99% to the limited partners and 1% to the general partners until the limited
partners receive a return of their initial capital contributions and a "Priority
Return". The Priority Return is a sum equal to 8% per annum cumulative, but not
compounded, (prorated for any partial year) of the adjusted capital
contributions of the limited partners, calculated from the last day of the
calendar quarter in which each limited partner is admitted to the Partnership to
the date of payment. Thereafter, taxable income, tax losses and cash
distributions from operations will be allocated 75% to the limited partners and
25% to the general partners.

Upon the sale or refinancing of any future partnership properties, the
partnership agreement specifies certain allocations of net proceeds and taxable
gain or loss from the transaction.

A summary of the Partnership's significant accounting policies follows:

Use of management's estimates: The preparation of financial statements 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 the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents: For purposes of reporting the statements of cash
flows, the Partnership includes all cash accounts, which are not subject to
withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments
purchased with an original maturity of three months or less as cash and cash
equivalents on the accompanying balance sheets. At various times throughout the
year, the Partnership may have cash balances at financial institutions which
exceed federally-insured amounts.

Investments: The leased property held for sale is stated at the lower of cost
less accumulated depreciation or fair market value. Depreciation is computed by
the straight-line method over 40 years for buildings and over 15 years for
building improvements. Depreciation was discontinued in 1998 subsequent to the
recognition of impairment (see Note 4).

NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION, PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT AND
        SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


Investment in securities available for sale: Financial Accounting Standards
Board Statement No. 115 requires that management determine the appropriate
classification of securities at the date individual investment securities are
acquired, and that the appropriateness of such classification be reassessed at
each balance sheet date. Since the Partnership neither buys securities in
anticipation of short-term fluctuations in market prices nor can commit to
holding debt securities to their maturities, the investment in debt and
marketable equity securities have been classified as available for sale in
accordance with Statement No. 115. Available-for-sale securities are stated at
fair value, and unrealized holding gains and losses are reported as a separate
component of partners' equity. Realized gains and losses, including losses from
declines in value of specific securities determined by management to be
other-than-temporary, are included in income. Realized gains and losses are
determined on the basis of the specific securities sold.

Deferred charges: Deferred charges are related to prepaid fees which are
amortized over the length of the related loans, 1 to 10 years, on a
straight-line basis.

Deferred leasing commissions: Deferred leasing commissions related to obtaining
specific leases are amortized using the straight-line method over the
noncancelable lease terms which range from three to seven years.

Revenue recognition: Rental revenue is recognized evenly over the term of the
lease. In connection with negotiating and obtaining leases, the Partnership's
management may at times grant concessions, such as free rent for a specific
number of months during the lease. These costs are amortized over the life of
the lease.

Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments: Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial
Instruments, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial
instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is
practicable to estimate that value. Statement 107 excludes certain financial
instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements.
At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the carrying values of the Partnership's
financial instruments, including accounts receivable which are due on demand and
the mortgage payable which bears interest at market rates, approximate their
fair values.

Partnership equity: The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 128, Earnings Per Share. The Statement specifies the computation,
presentation, and disclosure requirements for earnings per share. Management
believes that Statement No. 128 is analogous to limited partnership units and
accordingly, additional disclosures for partnership units are presented in the
accompanying financial statements.

Income taxes: Under current income tax laws, income or loss of the Partnership
is included in the income tax returns of the partners. Accordingly, the
Partnership will make no provision for federal or state income taxes.

NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION, PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT AND
        SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


Reclassifications: The Company's policy is to reclassify certain amounts
reported in prior year financial statements when necessary for conformity with
classifications adopted in the current year. These reclassifications do not have
a material effect on prior year financial statements.

NOTE 2.  WORKING CAPITAL RESERVE


Per the Partnership Agreement, a minimum working capital reserve of $94,500 must
be maintained to fund any expenditures that the cash flow from properties on
operating leases is insufficient to meet. The combined balance of cash and cash
equivalents and securities available for sale exceeds this requirement at
December 31, 2001 and 2000 by $30,306 and $36,822, respectively.

Securities available for sale may be sold in order to fund future operating cash
flow expenditures.

The property is currently contracted with a real estate broker. It is the
intention of the General Partners to market and sell the property. The sales
proceeds will be used to pay off debt/liabilities and return partners' equity.
In 1998, the Partnership recorded a loss of $1,392,468 to reflect the $2,365,800
estimated sales value of the assets, net of related selling costs. In 2000, the
Partnership recorded an additional loss of $81,262 to expense additional
improvements and to reflect the $2,323,500 reduced sales value of the assets,
net of related selling costs. This estimate is subject to potential significant
change. Subsequent to the recognition of the impairment, depreciation and
amortization of the related assets were discontinued.

NOTE 6.  PRIORITY RETURN


The cumulative unpaid priority return to the limited partners is $3,137,969 and
$2,895,185 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. There were no cash
distributions to the limited partners for the priority return for the years
ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999. Based on current and projected real
estate market conditions, the General Partners believe that it is reasonably
unlikely that a future sale of the Partnership property would produce sufficient
net sales proceeds to pay the priority return.

Financial Disclosure. Not applicable.


                                    PART III

         Item 10. Directors and Executive Officers of the Partnership. The
Partnership has no executive officers and directors. The General Partners of the
partnership are DRY Limited Partnership, the sole General Partner of which is
Dexter R. Yager, Sr., and FSK Limited Partnership, the sole General Partner of
which is Faison S. Kuester, Jr.

         Following is a brief discussion of the background and experience of
Messrs. Kuester and Yager.

         Faison S. Kuester, Jr., 56, graduated from the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in History in 1967. He is
a resident of Charlotte, North Carolina. After three years service in the United
States Army as a Lieutenant, Mr. Kuester joined Independence Development
Corporation in 1972 serving as a director of leasing and management for a period
of three years. In 1974, Mr. Kuester formed his own company, Kuester Realty and
Management, in order to lease and manage commercial properties in Charlotte,
North Carolina and surrounding communities. In addition to leasing and managing
various commercial properties, Kuester Realty developed two medical clinics in
the Charlotte area. In 1980, Kuester Properties, Inc. ("KPI") was formed to
specialize in on-site management of apartment communities in the southeastern
United States. The following year Cauble and Kuester Company, Inc. was organized
to lease and manage commercial properties in the metropolitan Atlanta area. This
partnership brought together Cauble and Company, experienced mortgage lenders
and leasing agents in the Atlanta market, and Kuester Realty and Management.
Finally, in 1983, Kuester Development Corporation was formed to allow the
Kuester companies to engage in selective real estate development projects in the
southeastern United States.

         Through Kuester Development Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
KPI, Mr. Kuester has been directly involved with the development of several
commercial real estate properties in North and South Carolina and Georgia. These
include the First United National Bank Building in Wilmington, North Carolina,
two retail office showroom projects, two medical office buildings and
residential condominiums in Charlotte, North Carolina, an office building in
Savannah, Georgia, and an office building in Greenville, South Carolina. Kuester
Development Corporation also has developed over 1000 apartment units throughout
Charlotte, North Carolina since 1983.

         In October 1996, Mr. Kuester formed FSK Properties, LLC to provide
management, leasing and brokerage services to his clients. FSK Properties, LLC
serves as property manager of the Partnership property.

         Dexter R. Yager, Sr., 62, is the President and founder of D&B Yager
Enterprises, Inc., Mr. Yager's Amway distributorship business. Through D&B Yager
Enterprises, Inc., Mr. Yager has been an independent business owner for Amway
Corporation for over 35 years during which time he has achieved the status of
Founder's Crown Ambassador, which is the highest level attainable as an Amway
distributor. The Amway Corporation, now known as Quixtar, is one of the largest
manufacturers of home care products in the world. He is also a former member and
past president of the Amway Distributor Association Board of Directors. Mr.
Yager has many other family-owned businesses and is responsible for the
development of several businesses, including the following: Yager Personal
Development, Inc., which handles Mr. Yager's services as a speaker at Amway
events, Yager Construction Company, Inc., which is a general building
contractor; and YFP, LLC (f/k/a as The Dexter and Birdie Yager Family Limited
Partnership), which owns various real estate investments and manages real estate
for the Yager family.

         Mr. Yager has significant experience in real estate investment for his
own account. Mr. Yager personally, and through partnerships in which he and his
wife own a majority interest, has made investments in raw land, office
buildings, shopping centers, and other commercial and residential real estate
having a market value in excess of $10,000,000. He has made substantial
additional real estate investments through partnerships in which he does not own
a majority interest.

         Item 11. Executive Compensation. The Partnership does not employ any
executive officers or directors. Dexter R. Yager, Sr. and Faison S. Kuester have
policy making functions with regard to Partnership operations. See Item 10 for
the relationship of such persons to the Partnership. See Item 13 for a
description of payments made to FSK Properties, LLC for property management
services and to Internet Services Corporation, Inc. for accounting and
management services.

         Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and
Management. The General Partners initially contributed a total of $2,500 to the
capital of the Partnership, consisting of a $1,600 contribution from DRY Limited
