ITEM 1.          BUSINESS

                 Background

                 Southeast Acquisitions I, L.P. (the "Partnership") was formed
on December 5, 1986, as a Delaware limited partnership.  On January 2, 1987,
the Partnership acquired 202.72 acres of unimproved land (the "Property") near
Columbia, South Carolina.  The Partnership's primary business objective is to
realize appreciation in the value of the Property by holding the Property for
investment and eventual sale, although there is no assurance that this will be
attained.  The Partnership is scheduled to terminate on December 31, 1997.

                 The Partnership's public offering of 4,225 units of limited
partnership interest ("Units") commenced on May 14, 1987 and terminated on June
5, 1987.  As of the close of the offering, the Partnership had raised
$4,225,000 through the sale of 4,225 Units.

                 The Partnership has been marketing the Property and expects
that it will dispose of the Property as conditions warrant.  The Property may
be sold in a single sale or divided into parcels which will be sold separately.
The timing and manner of sale will be determined by Southeast Acquisitions,
Inc., the General Partner of the Partnership.  The General Partner has the
right to sell  Property, or portions thereof, without the consent of the
Limited Partners.  However, the Limited Partners must consent to the sale of
all, or substantially all, of the Property if the net proceeds of the sale will
not be sufficient to return the Limited Partners' Adjusted Capital
Contributions plus the 10% Cumulative Annual Return.

                 Given that there have been very few large tract sales in this
Columbia sub-market, and those few that occurred during the past three years
were for prices well below what smaller size parcels were receiving, the
General Partner adopted a strategy in late 1995 to sell smaller parcels.
During 1996 there was only one party with whom serious discussions were held
regarding a ten acre parcel.  These discussions did not result in a sale.

                 The General Partner believes that the Partnership's cash
reserves will be sufficient to last for at least three more years assuming no
significant increases in expenses.  However, if the reserves are exhausted and
the Partnership is unable to borrow funds, the Partnership may have to sell the
Property on unfavorable terms.

                 To facilitate the sale of smaller parcels, the Partnership
may be required to construct a stub road into the Property off Killian Road. 
The Partnership entered into a timber contract in 1996 that required the
timber company to locate one of their timber roads in the likely location for
the stub road. The location of the timber road should reduce the cost of the
stub road construction in the event a stub road is necessary. The General
Partner has neither determined to construct, nor have sales of the Property
required the construction of, a stub road as of this date.

                 Material Recent Developments

                 None


                 Employees

                 The Partnership presently has no employees.  The General
Partner manages and controls the affairs of the Partnership. (See Part III,
Item 10, Directors and Executive Officers of the Partnership).


                 Competition

                 The General Partner believes that there is significant direct
competition within a five mile radius of the Property.  The Property consists
of 202.72 acres of undeveloped land situated in the southwest quadrant of the
intersection of Interstate 77 ("I-77") and Killian Road.  Killian Road is one
of only three interchanges with I-77 in the Columbia standard metropolitan
statistical area.

                 Undeveloped land intended for industrial use is abundant in
northern Richland County. The South Carolina Department of Commerce has
provided information on approximately 5,000 acres of available industrial sites
in the I-77 Business Corridor within five miles of the Partnership's Property.
The properties in the area having the largest potential effect on the market
for industrial sites are the Barnett site, the IBM site, the Sony site and
Northpoint Business Park.

                 Absorption of industrial sites by end users has been  slow
along the I-77 Business Corridor.

                 Trademarks and Patents

                 The Partnership has no trademarks or patents.

<PAGE>   6
                Other than the 202.72 acres of undeveloped land discussed
above, the Partnership owns no other properties.

                During 1996, Management of the General Partner commissioned an
appraisal of the Property in an ongoing effort to assess its current market
value and the best ways to market and sell the Property.

                The appraiser evaluated a bulk sale of the Property which
resulted in a current value of $2,800,000 ($13,800 per acre).

                The findings of the appraiser have been supported by the
information gathered as a result of the General Partner's conversations and
meetings with the appraiser, brokers, developers in the area and the South
Carolina Department of Commerce.

ITEM 3.         LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

                The Partnership is not directly a party to, nor is the
Partnership's Property directly the subject of, any material legal proceedings.
However, on November 6, 1992, the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania issued an
order placing The Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Fidelity Mutual"),
the indirect parent of the General Partner of the Partnership, into
rehabilitation under the control and authority of the Pennsylvania Insurance
commissioner pursuant to the provisions of the Pennsylvania Insurance
Department Act, 40 P.S . Section 221.1 et seq.  The Partnership is not a direct
party to the order, but ownership of the stock of (and consequently control of)
the General Partner is vested in the Insurance Commissioner pursuant to the
order.


ITEM 4.         SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

                No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.

ITEM 5.         MARKET FOR THE PARTNERSHIP'S UNITS OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                INTEREST AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS

                There is no established public trading market for the Units
and it is not anticipated that any will develop in the future.  The Partnership
commenced an offering to the public on May 14, 1987 of 4,225 Units of limited
partnership interests.  The offering of $4,225,000 was fully subscribed and
terminated on June 5, 1987.  As of December 31, 1996, there were 214 limited
partners in the Partnership.

ITEM 7.          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                 AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                 Background

                 The Partnership was formed to acquire and realize appreciation
in the Property by holding it for investment and eventual sale.  However, there
can be no assurance that the Partnership's objectives will be realized.

                 Results of Operations

                 The Partnership had no operations from the date of its
formation on December 5, 1986 until January 2, 1987 when it acquired the
Property.  Since its acquisition of the Property, the





                                       7
<PAGE>   8
Partnership offered and sold 4,225 Units of limited partnership interests and
obtained the rezoning of the Property, but has had no other significant
operations.

                 The Partnership's activities for fiscal year 1996 were
primarily focused on selling the Property. During 1996, the Partnership
received proceeds from the sale of timber totaling $54,000. Revenues for 1996
also consisted of interest income of $2,656 and partnership transfer fees of
$200.  Expenses for 1996 consisted of general and administrative costs of
$14,020, insurance of $184 and real estate taxes of  $291.  The increase in the
general and administrative  costs during 1996 is primarily the result of the
$2,500 cost of the appraisal commissioned on the Property and legal fees
associated with the preparation of investor communications.

                 An appraisal was commissioned in 1996 as the last appraisal
was four years old.  The 1996 appraiser determined the fair value for the
Property to be $2,800,000.  The prior appraiser had established a value of
$4,055,000.  The General Partner reviewed the assumptions and conclusions of
the appraisal and met with the appraiser, numerous local real estate
professionals, the Central Carolina Economic Development Alliance, and the
South Carolina Department of Commerce to confirm the reasonableness of the
appraisal.  Based upon the result of these activities, the General Partner
concluded that the 1996 appraisal is a reasonable approximation of the
Property's current market value.  As a result, the Partnership adjusted the
carrying value of the Property to reflect its fair value, less estimated
disposition costs, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals
for land that is held for sale.

                 The 1996 and 1992 appraisals were prepared using essentially
the same assumptions and methodology, but differ as a result of changing market
conditions.  In both cases, there were very few sales in the vicinity to be
used as comparable transactions and there was an abundance of land available
for development. There were a few sales of developed land in the area between
1992 and 1996 that enabled the 1996 appraiser to perform some additional
analysis of the Property's value and this analysis led to the conclusion of the
lower value.  During the period between 1992 and 1996, based on management's
knowledge of the limited number of land sales and overall market conditions and
its disposition plans for the Property, there was no reason to conclude that
there had been a diminution in value.

                 The Partnership's activities for fiscal year 1995 were
primarily focused on selling the Property.  Revenues for 1995 consisted of
interest income of $1,727 and partnership transfer fees of $225.  Expenses for
1995 consisted primarily of general and administrative costs of $7,977,
insurance of $204, and real estate taxes of $291.

                 The Partnership's activities for fiscal year 1994 were
primarily focused on selling the Property.  Revenues for 1994 consisted of
interest income of $1,657 and partnership transfer fees of $375.  Expenses for
1994 consisted primarily of general and administrative costs of $7,653,
management fees of $8,100, insurance of $3,082, and real estate taxes of $286.

                 Inflation did not have any material impact on operations
during 1996.

                 The General Partner is marketing this property and in March of
1996, the 202.72 acres was designated as part of the State of South Carolina's
Enterprise Zone.  This designation is at least partially the result of numerous
conversations with the Department of Commerce over the past year.  By being
awarded this designation, it means that special tax and other incentives will
be available to industrial users who locate on the Partnership's property.


                 Liquidity and Capital Resources

                 The Partnership has cash reserves of $91,596 at December 31,
1996, which will be used to cover the following estimated annual costs: $13,000
per year for auditing, accounting, tax and other administrative services, $200
per year for insurance and $300 per year for real estate taxes.  In the General
Partner's opinion, the Partnership's reserves will be sufficient for an
additional three years.  However, if additional expenses are incurred or should
the Partnership decide to construct infrastructure improvements to enhance the
marketability of the Property,   the reserves may be inadequate to cover the
Partnership's operating expenses. If the reserves are exhausted, the
Partnership may have to dispose of some of the Property or incur indebtedness
on unfavorable terms.


ITEM 8.          FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

                 The Partnership's financial statements for the years ended

                 As of December 31, 1996, no other person or "group" (as that
term is used in Section 13 (d) (3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) was
known by the Partnership to beneficially own more than five percent of the
Units of the Partnership.

                 Security Ownership of Management

                 In 1986, the General Partner contributed $1,000 to the capital
of the Partnership, but it does not own any of the Partnership's outstanding
securities.  No individual director or officer of the General Partner nor such
directors or officers as a group, owns any of the Partnership's outstanding
securities.  The General Partner owns a general partnership interest which
entitles it to receive 1% of cash distributions until the Limited Partners have
received their cumulative distributions equal to a 10% non-compounded
Cumulative Annual Return of their Adjusted Capital Contribution plus a return
of their Capital Contributions as those terms are defined in the Partnership
Agreement.  Thereafter, the General Partner will receive 30% of cash
distributions.  The General Partner will share in taxable income to reflect
cash distributions or to the extent there are losses, 1% of such losses.


                 Changes in Control

                 There are no arrangements known to the Partnership that would
at any subsequent date result in a change in control of the Partnership.
Although it may involve a change in control, the impact of the rehabilitation of
Fidelity Mutual and the rehabilitation order (described in Part I, Item 3, Legal
Proceedings) on the Partnership or the General Partner cannot be determined at
this time.

ITEM 13.         CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

                 Since 1987, the Partnership has paid $8,100 annually as an
administration fee to the General Partner.  The cumulative amount of such fee
may not exceed $64,800 as provided by the Partnership Agreement, and as of
December 31, 1994, fees charged since inception amount to $64,800.

                 The General Partner will also receive 1% of cash distributions
until the Limited Partners have received (i) cumulative distributions equal to
a 10% Cumulative Annual Return on their Adjusted Capital Contributions plus
(ii) a return of their Capital Contributions (as those terms are defined in the
Partnership Agreement).  Thereafter, the General Partner will receive 30% of
cash distributions.  During 1996, 1995 and 1994 the General Partner received no
cash distributions.

                         Report of Independent Auditors


To the Partners of
Southeast Acquisitions I, L.P.


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Southeast Acquisitions I,
L.P. (a Delaware limited partnership) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
related statements of operations, partners' equity (deficit), and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. 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 Southeast Acquisitions I, L.P.
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                               December 31, 1996




1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Southeast Acquisitions I, L.P. is a Delaware Limited Partnership. The General
Partner (Southeast Acquisitions, Inc.) is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary
of The Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Company (in Rehabilitation).

Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Company (the Company) was placed into
Rehabilitation, as defined, by the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania on
November 6, 1992 and it remains in Rehabilitation as of the report date. The
General Partner does not at this time expect that the Rehabilitation of the
Company will negatively impact the operation of either the General Partner or
the Partnership.  The Company's Rehabilitation Plan, originally filed in 1994,
was amended in January 1995 and again in June 1996.

The Partnership purchased approximately 203 acres of undeveloped land near
Columbia, South Carolina from the General Partner on January 2, 1987. The
Property is being marketed for sale.

Per the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership shall exist for a term ending
December 31, 1997, at which time it shall be dissolved.  Management is in the
process of soliciting proxies from the partners to approve an extension of the
term of the Partnership and certain other amendments. If the partners do not
approve the extension, the Partnership Agreement provides for the orderly
liquidation of the Partnership's assets and the subsequent dissolution of the
Partnership.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The Partnership maintains its accounting records on the accrual basis of
accounting.

LAND

Effective January 1, 1996, the Partnership adopted FASB  Statement No. 121,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed Of. In accordance with FASB Statement No. 121, land is carried at
the lower of cost or fair value less estimated cost to sell.





                                                                               6

                         Southeast Acquisitions I, L.P.

                   Notes to Financial Statements (continued)



2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

LAND (CONTINUED)

The carrying value of land, as disclosed on the balance sheet, is shown net of
a valuation allowance of $996,645, which is the result of a write-down in 1996
to fair value, as determined by an independent appraisal, less estimated cost
to sell, which is estimated at 10% of fair value. Prior to 1996, the
Partnership's policy has been to carry land at the lower of cost or fair value.
In accordance with FASB Statement No. 121, the loss is accounted for in
operations.

An appraisal was commissioned in 1996 as the last appraisal was four years old. 
The 1996 appraiser determined the fair value for the Property to be $2,800,000. 
The prior appraiser had established a value of $4,055,000.  The General Partner
reviewed the assumptions and conclusions of the appraisal and met with the
appraiser, numerous local real estate professionals, the Central Carolina
Economic Development Alliance, and the South Carolina Department of Commerce to
confirm the reasonableness of the appraisal.  Based upon the result of these
activities, the General Partner concluded that the 1996 appraisal is a
reasonable approximation of the Property's current market value.  As a result,
the Partnership adjusted the carrying value of the Property to reflect its fair
value, less estimated disposition costs, in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for land that is held for sale.

The 1996 and 1992 appraisals were prepared using essentially the same
assumptions and methodology, but differ as a result of changing market
conditions.  In both cases, there were very few sales in the vicinity to be
used as comparable transactions and there was an abundance of land available
for development.  There were a few sales of developed land in the area between
1992 and 1996 that enabled the 1996 appraiser to perform some additional
analysis of the Property's value and this analysis led to the conclusion of the
lower value.  During the period between 1992 and 1996, based on management's
knowledge of the limited number of land sales and overall market conditions and
its disposition plans for the Property, there was no reason to conclude that
there had been a diminution in value.

INCOME TAXES

In conformity with the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state and local tax
statutes, taxable income or loss of the Partnership is required to be reported
in the tax returns of the partners in accordance with the terms of the
Partnership Agreement.  Accordingly, no provision has been made in the
accompanying financial statements for any federal, state, or local income tax.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect various amounts reported in the financial statements
and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In 1994, the Partnership incurred a management fee of $8,100 to the General
Partner. The cumulative amount of such fee may not exceed $64,800 as provided
by the Partnership Agreement, and in 1994, such fees charged since inception
amounted to $64,800.

4. PARTNERS' EQUITY

The Partnership received cash equity contributions totaling $4,225,000 through
the sale of 4,225 limited partnership units. In accordance with the Partnership
Agreement, cash distributions and profits or losses for each year of the
Partnership shall be allocated as follows:





                                                                               7

                   Notes to Financial Statements (continued)



4. PARTNERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)

         (a)     Cash distributions shall be allocated 1% to the General
                 Partner and 99% to the limited partners in proportion to their
                 units until the limited partners have received distributions
                 equal to a 10% noncompounded cumulative annual return on their
                 adjusted capital contributions, as defined ($4,048,958 at
                 December 31, 1996) plus their capital contributions
                 ($4,225,000 at December 31, 1996). Any additional cash
                 distributions shall be allocated 30% to the General Partner
                 and 70% to the limited partners in proportion to their units.
                 Amounts distributed in connection with the liquidation of the
                 Partnership shall be distributed in accordance with each
                 partner's adjusted capital account as defined in the
                 Partnership Agreement.

         (b)     Profits and losses shall be allocated as provided in the
                 Partnership Agreement. Generally, profits will be allocated to
                 reflect cash distributions or to offset any negative balances
                 in the partners' capital accounts.  Losses will generally be
                 allocated 99% to the limited partners in proportion to their
                 units and 1% to the General Partner or to reduce any positive
                 account balances in the partners' capital accounts. In no
                 event will the General Partner be allocated less than 1% of
                 the profits or losses for any year.

The Partnership Agreement also provides that upon Partnership dissolution or
termination, the General Partner shall contribute to the capital of the
Partnership the lesser of any negative amount of its capital account, as
defined, or 1.01% of the capital contributions made by the limited partners.
Any amount so contributed shall be distributed to the limited partners in
proportion to their positive capital account balances. Additionally, on
dissolution or termination of the Partnership, if the limited partners do not
receive distributions which cumulatively total their initial capital
contributions plus a 10% noncompounded cumulative annual return, then the
General Partner shall contribute to the capital of the Partnership an amount
equal to the lesser of cumulative distributions to the General Partner or the
amount necessary to provide the limited partners with a return of the initial
capital contribution plus the 10% noncompounded cumulative annual return.
