                                     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. 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 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.
The lender, United of Omaha Life Insurance Company ("United Omaha"), is not
affiliated with the Partnership. 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. 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, 2000.

         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, 2000, the Partnership
continued to fund working capital requirements and working capital was improved
to a surplus of $65,585. The working capital deficit at December 31, 1999 was
$1,455,638. The approximate $1,500,000 improvement in working capital was due to
the reclassification of a portion of the debt to long-term liabilities. The
First Union National Bank loan on the EastPark facility matured on June 30,
2000. The General Partners refinanced this loan with the same institution. Under
the terms of the new loan, the monthly payment will consist of a $5,000
principal payment and an interest payment calculated at the bank's prime rate
(currently 9.5%). The loan will mature on June 30, 2002.

                  The cumulative unpaid priority return to the unit holders
increased from $2,652,401 at December 31, 1999 to $2,895,185 at December 31,
2000. This increase resulted from no distributions being made to partners during
the year and the pro rata share otherwise due partners 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



                                        3
<PAGE>   4

reasonably unlikely that the Partnership's operating income or any refinancing
of Partnership debt would generate sufficient funds to pay the priority return.

         During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership had net income
of $65,282 compared to the net (loss) of ($29,038) in 1999. (See "Results of
Operations" below for explanation of variance.) Rental income, operating
expenses and interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999
resulted exclusively from the operations of the Partnership's commercial real
estate properties. The EastPark Executive Center buildings, purchased June 23,
1989, were 88% leased at both December 31, 2000 and December 1999. Upon
commencement of the new supplemental lease with GSA on February 1, 2001, the
EastPark Executive Center will be 93% leased.

         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 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
for $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.

         Comparison of 1999 results with 1998.

         Operating results increased from an operating loss of ($1,150,221)
during the year ended December 31, 1998 to an operating income of $108,046 for
the comparable year 1999. The main cause for the increase between years is due
to the recording of a loss on impairment of value for the EastPark facility for
$1,392,468 in 1998. Revenue and operating expense, not inclusive of the
impairment of rental property, were lower overall in 1999 by approximately
$53,000. This is due to the 1999 results including operations only from the
EastPark facility, whereas in 1998 the results also included a partial year of
operating from the BB&T building. The only line item which increased in 1999 is
professional fees. The cause for this increase was due to the additional work
needed for the various contracts during the year. Interest expense decreased by
approximately $102,000 from 1998 due to the lower rate obtained on the EastPark
refinancing and due to the sale of the BB&T building.


         Status of EastPark Facility

         The General Partners are continuing to focus on selling the EastPark
facility and continue to have it listed with a commercial real estate broker.
During 1999, the General Partners entered into two separate sales contracts for
$2,525,000 each. After due diligence by the prospective buyers, the sales
contracts were terminated under the terms of the contract. The most recent
contract with Four Dan, LLC was terminated on March 1, 2000 under the terms of
their contract. The General Partners have also received several other offers for
lower amounts, which were declined. The General Partners also continue working
on increasing the occupancy at EastPark.

                          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, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements
of operations, partners' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2000. 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 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 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, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2000, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 sold the property located in Greenville, South Carolina during 1998
and held property located in Charlotte, North Carolina at December 31, 2000.

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 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 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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, 2000 and 1999, 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: 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 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 cash and cash equivalents reserve of
$94,500 must be maintained to fund any expenditures that the cash flow generated
from properties on operating leases is insufficient to meet. The Partnership did
not meet the minimum requirement by $22,291 and $82,572 at December 31, 2000 and
December 31, 1999, respectively.

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

                                                           ===========

During the year ended December 31, 1998, the Partnership sold one of the
properties for $3,471,000, resulting in a loss of $206,428. The net cash
proceeds from the sale, after related costs and debt payoff, was $464,425. The
net cash proceeds were used in a $500,000 payment on other debt, the proceeds of
which had been used to fund the upfit on the property currently held. The
carrying value of the building was approximately $3,425,000 at December 31,
1998.

The remaining 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 payoff 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 costs to sell. In 1999, 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 costs to sell. This estimate is subject to potential significant
change in the next year. Subsequent to the recognition of the impairment,
depreciation and amortization of the related assets was discontinued.

NOTE 5.  NOTE PAYABLE, BANK, LONG-TERM DEBT AND PLEDGED ASSETS

The Partnership had a $1,000,000 line-of-credit with no balance outstanding at
December 31, 1999. The line-of-credit allowed borrowings and repayments to be
made on a daily basis. Outstanding balances on the line-of-credit bear interest
at a variable rate tied to the bank's prime rate (prime rate was 7.75% at
December 31, 1999). The line-of-credit expired during 2000.

Long-term debt and pledged assets consists of the following at December 31, 2000
and 1999:

NOTE 6.  PRIORITY RETURN

The cumulative unpaid priority return to the limited partners is $2,895,185 and
$2,652,401 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. There were no cash
distributions to the limited partners for the priority return for the years
ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998. Based on the sale of the building in
1998 and 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.

NOTE 10.  FUTURE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

The FASB has issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities, which the Partnership has not been required to adopt as of
December 31, 1999. This Statement, which is effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000, establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as
derivatives) and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize
all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial
position and measure those instruments at fair value. If certain conditions are
met, a derivative may be specifically designated as (a) a hedge of the exposure
to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an
unrecognized firm commitment, (b) a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows
of a forecasted transaction, or (c) a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of
a net investment in a foreign operation, an unrecognized firm commitment, an
available-for-sale security, or a foreign-currency-denominated forecasted
transaction. This Statement is not expected to have a significant impact on the
Partnership.

         Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and
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., 55, 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., 61, 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
Crown Ambassador, which is the highest level attainable as an Amway distributor.
The Amway Corporation 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 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, a shopping center, 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 and no compensation is paid to any person for
performing services typically provided by such an officer or director. 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
Partnership and $900 from FSK Limited Partnership. The General Partners own a 1%
interest in all items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deductions or credits
including 1% of net cash from operations. The General Partners also own a
residual 25% interest in net cash from a sale or refinancing of the Partnership
Property, subordinated to the receipt by the Limited Partners of the return of
their capital contributions and their priority return and to the payment of any
subordinated real estate commissions due to affiliates of the General Partners.

         The General Partners do not own any Limited Partnership interest in the
