NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1.  INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying financial statements of Retail Equity Partners Limited
Partnership (the Partnership) have not been audited by independent
accountants, except for the balance sheet at December 31, 1994. In the
opinion of the Partnership's management, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position and results of operations for the periods presented
have been included.

Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from
the interim financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Partnership's 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The results for the first three quarters of 1995 are not necessarily
indicative of future financial results.



                                                                             5

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

Retail Equity Partners Limited Partnership ("the Partnership") is a
North Carolina limited partnership formed to acquire, hold, operate and
manage three neighborhood shopping centers. In October, 1991 the
ownership of one of the shopping centers was transferred to a newly
formed partnership, New Market Square Limited Partnership ("NMSLP"). The
Partnership is the sole general partner and holds a 99.99 percent
interest in NMSLP.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q and with the Partnership's audited financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Partnership's 1994 Annual Report on Form
10-K.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES. Rental revenue totaled $387,000 in third quarter and
$1,183,000 through nine months of 1995, decreasing 2 percent and 13
percent, respectively, from the same periods in 1994, attributable
primarily to vacancy of anchor tenant space at New Market Square
shopping center ("NMS") since August, 1994. (On August 1, 1994 Rose's
Stores, Inc. renounced its lease as part of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy
filing and vacated its space at NMS.) 1995 interest and other income
includes $82,049 proceeds of the sale of a claim against Rose's in
March, 1995.

At September 30, 1995 Plaza West was 100 percent leased, Cape Henry
Plaza was 94 percent leased, and NMS was 55 percent leased, compared to
100 percent, 94 percent, and 43 percent, respectively at September 30,
1994.

EXPENSES. Property operations expense of $59,000 for the quarter and
$157,000 year-to-date in 1995 reflects an increase of approximately
$20,000 over the same periods in 1994, attributable primarily to planned
exterior repairs and maintenance at Cape Henry Plaza and Plaza West.
Fluctuations in general and administrative expense ($52,000 through
three quarters in 1995 compared to $38,000 in 1994) are due to the
timing of legal expenses associated with the Rose's lease in third
quarter, 1994 through second quarter, 1995. Decreases in property tax
and insurance expense of approximately 8 percent compared to 1994
reflect lower provisions for property tax based on prior year experience
and projections based on tax bills received at interim. Property
management fees (based on cash receipts) have decreased approximately 13
percent compared to 1994 as a direct result of decreased revenue stream
at NMS. Depreciation and amortization are consistent with prior year
quarter and year-to-date amounts. Interest expense increased
approximately 2 percent in third quarter, 1995 compared to 1994,
reflecting the 0.75 percent rate increase on the NMS mortgage effective
June, 1995. On a year-to-date basis, interest expense has decreased
approximately 1 percent as a result of amortization of principal
amounts.

SUMMARY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. The Partnership experienced a net loss of
$127,000 in third quarter, 1995 compared to $107,000 for the same period
in 1994, with the variance attributable primarily to increased property
repairs and maintenance costs. Increased losses on a year-to-date basis
($272,000 in 1995 compared to $178,000 in 1994) are generally
attributable to the effect of the NMS Rose's vacancy which began August,
1994 and has continued throughout 1995 year-to-date, offset in part by
proceeds of a claim against the former tenant.

Depreciation and amortization of approximately $318,000 are significant
non-cash expenses which have a significant impact on reported results.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. The Partnership has long-term financing
on all three shopping centers. These first mortgage loans all mature in
1998 and require monthly principal reduction. During third quarter,
1995, the Partnership made all scheduled principal payments on these
first mortgage loans, and at September 30, 1995, the Partnership is
current on these obligations.

If not for the Rose's bankruptcy and resulting vacancy at NMS since
August, 1994, the Partnership would be operating reasonably well. Two of
the shopping centers continue to generate positive cash flow from
operations.

                                                                        6

Following the Rose's departure, the NMSLP has not generated sufficient
cash flow to pay the full payments required under its loan for NMS. The
lender and the Partnership entered into a forbearance agreement under
which NMSLP remitted to the lender net cash flow after payment of
operating expenses monthly. In June, 1995 the forbearance agreement was
terminated and the NMS loan was brought current by using substantially
all of the Partnership's cash reserves. Boddie Investment Company, the
general partner, is currently advancing the partnership sufficient funds
to cover any operating deficits.

On July 19, 1995 the Partnership entered a lease agreement with
Winn-Dixie Stores whereby Winn-Dixie will vacate its current location at
NMS (35,000 square feet) and move to the Rose's space at NMS (54,000
square feet). Management is in final negotiations with several possible
tenants to occupy the space being vacated by Winn-Dixie. If a
replacement tenant cannot be found, the revenue loss associated with the
vacant space would result in substantial negative cash flow and would
bring into question NMSLP's ability to continue in business without
restructuring its mortgage obligations.

The Partnership made no capital expenditures or distributions during the
first nine months of 1995. Future distributions have been suspended
until property operations allow.

The leases held by the Partnership are generally long-term, with
substantially all increases in operating expenses, taxes and insurance
passed through to and paid by tenants. Additionally, most leases include
built-in rent increases based on changes in the consumer price index or
percentage rents based on total sales.

The Partnership has retained Lat Purser and Associates to explore the
possible sale of New Market Square Shopping Center. Lat Purser has begun
discussions with several possible buyers, but at September 30, 1995, no
agreement has been reached as to the terms of a possible sale.


                                                                        7

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Reference is hereby made to the discussion of legal proceedings with
respect to the NMS Rose's vacancy and disposition thereof during first
quarter, 1995, in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended
March 31, 1995.


ITEM 3.  DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

The Partnership is the sole general partner and holds a 99.99 percent
interest in NMSLP, which owns NMS. NMS is held subject to a first
mortgage deed of trust held by Mutual Benefit Life. The mortgage has an
original principal amount of $6,400,000, carried an interest rate of
8.25 percent through May, 1995, and 9 percent effective June 1, 1995
through maturity in June, 1998, and has required monthly payments of
$58,000 including principal and interest.

In view of Rose's renunciation of its lease and subsequent failure to
pay its required lease payments (see Liquidity and Capital Resources
discussion above), NMSLP requested from its lender certain relief from
the required monthly payments. The lender agreed to accept payments
equal to operating cash flow of NMS pending attempts by NMSLP to locate
a replacement tenant or to restructure its debt. NMSLP made such "cash
flow payments" through May, 1995. In June, 1995 the forbearance
agreement was terminated and the NMS loan was brought current.

The NMS mortgage is secured solely by the NMS shopping center and is not
guaranteed by the Partnership. In the event a replacement tenant cannot
be found or the loan cannot be modified, the lender, at its election,
may begin foreclosure proceedings. The foreclosure of NMS shopping
center would not affect the Partnership's remaining two centers.
