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'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 the Property without the consent of the Limited Partners if the net
proceeds of the sale will be sufficient to return the Limited Partners' Capital
Contribution plus their 10% Cumulative Annual Return. 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 possible sale of parcels, the Partnership
will be required to build a short, stub road off Killian Road. To minimize the
expense of building such a road, the Partnership made an agreement with a timber
company to timber the Property and to locate one of their timber roads in an
area where the Partnership would build the spine road so that the clearing for
the road is done at no expense to the Partnership.

                  The Partnership has not determined to construct the stub road
as of this date.

                  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 extremely
slow along the I-77 Business Corridor.

                  Trademarks and Patents

                  The Partnership has no trademarks or patents.

ITEM 2.           PROPERTY

                  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 . Section221.1 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.

                                     PART II

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 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 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.


                                       7
<PAGE>   8
                  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 the stub road into the Property (as
discussed earlier), 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
December 31, 1996 and 1995 together with the report of the Partnership's
independent auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, is included in this Form 10-K.

                  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. 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

                    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.

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
<PAGE>   23
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.

5. TIMBER REVENUE

During 1996, the Partnership entered into an agreement to sell timber. As
provided by the agreement, the Partnership received proceeds from the sale of
timber on the land totaling $54,000.


                                                                               8
