                       Notes to Financial Statements

                  For the period from January 1, 1997 to
             June 12, 1997 (Immediately prior to termination)
                and for December 31, 1996 and June 12, 1997

                                (Unaudited)


GENERAL

          In connection with the liquidation and termination of JMB
Mortgage Partners, Ltd. (the "Partnership"), JMB Realty Corporation, the
Corporate General Partner of the Partnership, formed a liquidating trust,
JMB Mortgage Ptnrs, Ltd Liquidating Trust (the "Liquidating Trust") in
December 1996, into which all of the Partnership's remaining funds of
$350,110, subject to liabilities, were transferred by means of the final
liquidating distribution on December 31, 1996.  Such transferred amount
represented the maximum estimated potential obligation (including
administrative costs) of the Partnership, including the Partnership's share
of potential liability with respect to certain representations and
warranties made to the buyer of the Spring Hill Fashion Corner investment
property, which was the last remaining real estate investment of the
Partnership (through a joint venture) and which was sold November 13, 1996.

Such representations and warranties expired as scheduled six months from
the date of sale (May 13, 1997).

     The original trustees of the Liquidating Trust are individuals who are
officers of the Corporate General Partner.  Each Holder of Interests in the
Partnership is deemed to be the beneficial owner of a comparable share of
the aggregate beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust.  It was
anticipated that the Liquidating Trust would permit the realization of
substantial cost savings in administrative and other expenses until the
remaining funds are distributed to the beneficial owners of the Liquidating
Trust.  The Liquidating Trust was to terminate no later than three years
from its creation, subject to extension under certain circumstances.

     The purpose of the Liquidating Trust was to pay all expenses and
liabilities of the Partnership, including those (if any) relating to the
representations and warranties made to the buyer of the Spring Hill Fashion
Corner investment property, and administrative expenses, and to distribute
the remaining proceeds to the beneficiaries of the Liquidating Trust.  The
statement of operations and the statement of beneficiaries' accounts for
the period ended June 12, 1997 reflect the payments made for such items
prior to the final liquidating distribution to the beneficiaries.  The
payment of tenant allowances, which was included as part of the above noted
maximum estimated potential obligation of the Partnership, related to
amounts committed to two tenants prior to the sale of the Spring Hill
Fashion Corner investment property.


TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

     The Liquidating Trust, pursuant to the Liquidating Trust Agreement,
was permitted to engage in various transactions involving the Corporate
General Partner of the Partnership and its affiliates including the
reimbursement for salaries and salary-related expenses of its employees,
certain of its officers, and other direct expenses relating to the
administration of the Liquidating Trust.  Expenses incurred and paid by the
Liquidating Trust to the Corporate General Partner and its affiliates
(which payments were consistent with the authorization for reimbursements
under the Partnership Agreement of the Partnership) for the period from
January 1, 1997 to June 12, 1997 were as follows:
