                               PART I

Item 1.  BUSINESS

     Community Investment Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership") was formed to
seek long-term capital appreciation by making investments in companies and
other special investment situations.  The Partnership will not engage in
any other business or activity.

     The Partnership has elected to be a business development company
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  As a business
development company, the Partnership is required to invest at least 70% of
its assets in qualifying investments as specified in the Investment Company
Act.

     The Partnership was formed on October 10, 1989, under the Revised
Uniform Limited Partnership Act of Missouri. CIP Management, L.P., LLLP,
the Managing General Partner, is a Missouri limited liability limited
partnership formed on October 10, 1989 as a limited partnership and
registered as a limited liability limited partnership on July 23, 1997.
The general partner of CIP Management, L.P., LLLP is CIP Management, Inc.,
an indirect subsidiary of Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P.

     The Partnership participated in a public offering of its limited
partnership interests in 1990.  The Partnership sold 91,820 Units of
limited partnership interest for an aggregate price of $2,295,500.  After
offering expenses of approximately $122,000, the Partnership received
approximately $2,173,500 in proceeds available for investment.

     During 1999, the Limited Partners voted to sell Partnership assets
and thereby effect the dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to section
9.1.1 of the Partnership Agreement. As of December 31, 1999 all publicly
traded securities have been sold through the public market. The Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) is reviewing an application requesting
permission to sell the remaining assets to EDJ Ventures. Upon receipt of
approval from the SEC, the final dissolution processes will be completed.

     The information set forth under the captions "Proposal 1", "Proposal
2" and "Other Factors to Consider" of the Proxy Statement dated September
7, 1999, filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 14(A) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, is incorporated herein by reference.

     The Partnership is no longer making investments.  For information
regarding the Partnership's current portfolio investments and purchases and
sales during the year, see Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

     The information set forth under the captions "Investment Objectives &
Policies" and "Regulation" in the Prospectus of the Partnership dated March
12, 1990, filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 497(b) under the Securities
Act of 1933, is incorporated herein by reference.

RISKS OF UNIT OWNERSHIP

     The purchase and ownership of Units involve a number of significant
risks and other important factors.  The portfolio company investments of
the Partnership involve a high degree of business and financial risk that
can result in substantial losses.  Among these are the risks associated
with investments in companies with little operating history, companies
operating at a loss or with substantial variations in operating results
from period to period, companies with the need for substantial additional
capital to support expansion or achieve or maintain a competitive position,
companies which may be highly leveraged, companies which may not be
diversified and companies in which the Partnership may be the sole or
primary lender.  The Partnership  invests in only a few companies.
Therefore, a loss or other problem with a single investment could have a
material adverse effect on the Partnership.

                                   4


<PAGE>
<PAGE>

     Risks may arise due to the period of time (typically four to seven
years or longer) which will elapse before portfolio company investments
have reached a state of maturity such that disposition can be considered.

     Portfolio companies may require additional funds and there can be no
assurance that the Partnership will have sufficient funds from reserves or
borrowing to make such follow-on investments which may have a substantial
negative impact on a portfolio company in need of additional funds.

     All decisions with respect to the management of the Partnership,
including identifying and making portfolio investments, are made
exclusively by the General Partners.  Limited Partners must rely on the
abilities of the General Partners. The key personnel of the Managing
General Partner have considerable prior experience in investment banking
and in structuring investments.

     Ownership of the Units also entails risk because Limited Partners may
not be able to liquidate their investment in the event of an emergency or
for any other reason due to the substantial restrictions on transfers
contained in the Partnership Agreement and the lack of a market for the
resale of Units.

     The information set forth under the captions "Risk and Other
Important Factors" (including the subsections "Risks of Investment," "Size
of Partnership," "Ability to Invest Funds," "Time Required to Maturity of
Investments; Illiquidity of Investments," "Need for Follow-on Investments,"
"Use of Leverage," "Unspecified Investment," "Reliance on Management," "New
Business," "No Market for Units" and "Federal Income Tax Considerations")
on pages 9 through 14 of the Prospectus of Partnership dated March 12,
1990, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule
497(b) under the Securities Act of 1933 on March 12, 1990, is incorporated
herein by this reference.  (This information has been restated herein
pursuant to section 64(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940).

     Partners should refer to the Partnership Agreement for more detailed
information.

EMPLOYEES

     The Partnership has no employees.  The Managing General Partner,
subject to the supervision of the Individual General Partners, manages the
Partnership's portfolio company investments and, pursuant to a Management
Agreement with the Partnership, performs or arranges for affiliates to
perform, the management and administrative services for the Partnership and
is responsible for managing the Partnership's money-market investments.
The Managing General Partner receives no fee under the Management Agreement
but is reimbursed by the Partnership for certain expenses.

Item 2.   PROPERTIES

     The Partnership does not own or lease any physical properties.

Item 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The Partnership is not a party to any material pending legal
proceedings.

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

     A special meeting of Limited Partners was held on October 4, 1999,
during which two matters were submitted for vote.

     The first matter requested authority to sell two assets to EDJ
Ventures, Ltd., L.P. (EDJ Ventures), an affiliate of CIP Management, L.P.,
LLLP, (the managing general partner of the Partnership). The assets consist
of a) the right to receive future payments totaling $96,750 from an escrow
account, contingent upon and subject to reduction by any indemnity claims
pursuant to a merger between Innovation Medical Technologies, Inc., and
Alcon Surgical, Inc., a company in which the Partnership had previously
invested; and b) the right to receive future payments totaling $24,057,
contingent upon and subject to reduction by any indemnity claims that
National Vision Associates, LTD., might successfully assert pursuant to its
purchase of Frame-n-Lens Optical, Inc., a company in which the Partnership
had previously invested. A total of 58,254 votes were cast for the
proposal, zero votes were cast against the proposal, and zero votes were
withheld.

     The second matter requested authority to sell the remaining assets of
the Partnership, consisting of publicly traded securities, through the
public market and thereby effect the dissolution of the Partnership. A
total of 58,254 votes were cast for the proposal, zero votes were cast
against the proposal, and zero votes were withheld.

Item 5.   MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
          STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

     There is no established public trading market for the Limited
Partnership interests.  As of March 15, 2000, the total number of holders
of units is 104. The number of limited partnership units outstanding is
87,820.  The number of general partnership units outstanding is 20,000 as
of March 15, 2000.

     Cash distributions of $7 per unit were made to its Partners during
the year ended December 31, 1999.

     The information set forth under the captions "Partnership
Distributions and Allocations" and "Transferability of Units" in the
Prospectus of the Partnership dated March 12, 1990, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 497(b) under the
Securities Act of 1933 is incorporated herein by reference.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                    (FISCAL YEAR 1999 VERSUS 1998)

     Net income for the year ended December 31, 1999 was $454,642, a 6%
decrease from 1998 net income of $484,256. Net income decreased mainly due
to a $915,306 decrease in realized gains and a $13,859 increase in total
expenses offset by a $906,788 increase in unrealized gains, as discussed
below.

     The sale of all publicly traded investments during the fourth quarter
of 1999 accounted for $231,991 of the $322,013 total realized gain. See
detail of investment sales in Note 6 to the financial statements. These
sales were made as a result of the October 4, 1999 Limited Partner vote
approving the sale of Partnership assets. The remaining 1999 realized gain
consisted of an $87,536 escrow payment received as a result of the 1998
liquidation of Innovation Medical Technologies Preferred stock and a $2,487
escrow payment received as a result of the 1998 liquidation of Vision
Partners L.P. limited partnership interests.

     The $173,482 unrealized gain recorded in 1999 represents a reversal
of the $65,182 unrealized loss on investment securities at December 31,
1998, and a $108,300 unrealized gain on the remaining assets that will be
sold to EDJ Ventures, pending SEC approval. Previously, the assets were
carried at a zero basis.

     The increase in expenses was caused by legal fees incurred related to
the planned Partnership dissolution, including preparation of the proxy
statement and request for approval from the SEC for the proposed sales of
assets to EDJ Ventures.

     The Partnership made a distribution of $7 per unit during 1999,
representing $754,740.

                    (FISCAL YEAR 1998 VERSUS 1997)

     Net income for the year ended December 31, 1998, was $484,256,
compared to net income of $269,655 in 1997, an increase of 80%. The
increase in net income is attributable to realized gains of $1,237,319
offset by net unrealized losses of $733,306.

     Realized gains are due to significant gains recognized in 1998 from
the sale of stock in Intermedia Communications of Florida and Innovation
Medical Technologies, Inc., see Note 6 to the financial statements.
Innovation Medical Technologies, Inc. shares of Class A and B Preferred
stock and Intermedia Communications of Florida shares of Common stock were
sold resulting in gains of $1,170,602 and $527,207, respectively. The
realized gains were offset by a realized loss in Vision Partners, L.P.
limited partnership interests in the amount of $460,490. Unrealized losses
are due to a decrease in share prices of portfolio investments from the
prior year and to a  reversal of previous unrealized gains on shares sold.

     The Partnership made distributions of $7 and $12.50 per unit during
1998 representing amounts of $754,740 and $1,347,750, respectively.
Director's fees have been discontinued in 1998 due to the fact that initial
investments will no longer be made by the Partnership.

     As of December 31, 1998, unrealized losses on investments totaled
$65,182. The future income or loss of the Partnership is contingent upon
the performance of the portfolio investments.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Partners of
Community Investment Partners, L.P.


In our opinion, the accompanying Statements of Financial Condition,
including the Schedule of Portfolio Investments, and the related Statements
of Income, of Cash Flows and of Changes in Partnership Capital present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Community
Investment Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership") at December 31, 1999 and
1998, and the results of its operations, its cash flows and the changes in
Partnership Capital for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  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 of these financial
statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States, which require that we plan and perform the audits 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included
confirmation of portfolio investments owned at December 31, 1999, by
correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for the
opinion expressed above.

                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   GENERAL

     Partnership Organization
     ------------------------

          Community Investment Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership") was
     formed on October 10, 1989, under the Revised Uniform Limited
     Partnership Act of Missouri.  CIP Management, L.P., LLLP, the
     Managing General Partner, is a Missouri limited liability limited
     partnership formed on October 10, 1989 as a limited partnership and
     registered as a limited liability limited partnership on July 23,
     1997. The general partner of CIP Management, L.P., LLLP is CIP
     Management, Inc., an indirect subsidiary of Edward D. Jones & Co.,
     L.P.

     Partnership Dissolution
     -----------------------

          During 1999, the Limited Partners voted to sell Partnership
     assets and thereby effect the dissolution of the Partnership pursuant
     to section 9.1.1 of the Partnership Agreement.

          As of December 31, 1999 all publicly traded securities have
     been sold through the public market. The Securities and Exchange
     Commission is currently reviewing an application requesting
     permission to sell the remaining assets to EDJ Ventures. The
     remaining assets consist of a) the right to receive future payments
     totaling $96,750 from an escrow account, contingent upon and subject
     to reduction by any indemnity claims pursuant to a merger between
     Innovation Medical Technologies, Inc., and Alcon Surgical, Inc., a
     company in which the Partnership had previously invested; and b) the
     right to receive future payments totaling $24,057, contingent upon
     and subject to reduction by any indemnity claims that National Vision
     Associates, LTD., might successfully assert pursuant to its purchase
     of Frame-n-Lens Optical, Inc., a company in which the Partership had
     previously invested. Upon receipt of approval from the Securities and
     Exchange Commission, the final dissolution processes will be
     completed.

          As a result of the Partnership dissolution process, a $65,182
     unrealized gain was recorded for the year ended December 31, 1999.
     This amount represents a reversal of the December 31, 1998 unrealized
     loss on the publicly traded securities that were sold in 1999.

     Business
     --------

          The Partnership elected to be a business development company
     under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  As a business
     development company, the Partnership is required to invest at least
     70% of its assets in qualifying investments as specified in the
     Investment Company Act.  The Managing General Partner is responsible
     for making the Partnership's investment decisions.

          The Partnership has sought and will continue to seek long-term
     capital appreciation by making investments in companies and other
     special investment situations.  The Partnership is not permitted to
     engage in any other business or activity.

     Risk of Ownership
     -----------------

          The purchase and ownership of Partnership Units involve a
     number of significant risks and other important factors.  The
     portfolio company investments of the Partnership involve a high
     degree of business and financial risk that can result in substantial
     losses.  Among these are the risks associated with investments in
     companies with little operating history, companies operating at a
     loss or with substantial variations in operating results from period
     to period, companies with the need for substantial additional capital
     to support expansion or achieve or maintain a competitive position,

                                  18

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

     companies which may be highly leveraged, companies which may not be
     diversified and companies in which the Partnership may be the sole or
     primary lender.  The Partnership intends to invest in only a few
     companies; therefore, a loss or other problem with a single
     investment could have a material adverse effect on the Partnership.

2.   ALLOCATION OF PARTNERSHIP PROFITS AND LOSSES

          The Partnership Agreement generally provides for the allocation
     of profits and losses pro rata based on the Partners' capital
     contributions.  Refer to the Partnership Agreement for more detailed
     information.


3.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Cash and Cash Equivalents
     -------------------------

          All short-term investments with original maturities of three
     months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

     Investment Transactions
     -----------------------

          All portfolio investments are carried at cost until significant
     developments affecting an investment provide a basis for revaluation.
     Thereafter, portfolio investments are carried at fair value as
     obtained from outside sources or at a value determined quarterly by
     the Managing General Partner under the supervision of the Independent
     General Partners.  Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation,
     those estimated values for portfolio investments carried at cost may
     differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a
     ready market for the investment existed, and the differences could be
     material to the financial statements.  Investments in securities
     traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the latest
     reported sales price on the last business day of the period.  If no
     sale has taken place, the securities are valued at the last bid
     price.  If no bid price has been reported, or if no exchange
     quotation is available, the securities are valued at the quotation
     obtained from an outside broker.  Investment transactions are
     recorded on a trade date basis.  Income is recorded on an accrual
     basis.

     Use of 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
     as of 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.

     Income Taxes
     ------------

          Income taxes have not been provided for as the Partnership is a
     limited partnership and each partner is liable for its own tax
     payments.  Allocation of Partnership profits and losses for tax
     purposes is based upon taxable income which may differ from net
     income for financial reporting purposes primarily due to differences
     between book and tax accounting for portfolio investments.

     Distributions
     -------------

          When excess cash, if any, becomes available, it is the
     Partnership's intent to make distributions.  All distributions are
     subject to the sole discretion of the Managing General Partner and
     the Independent General Partners.
