Annual Report (Form 10-K), fiscal year 1993

Item 1. Business - ----------------
Vanguard Real Estate Fund I, A Sales-Commission-Free Income Properties Fund (the "Fund"), was organized on September 10, 1986 as a Massachusetts business trust and intends to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Fund has a finite life and intends to commence the liquidation of its remaining real estate investments over the next five years, market conditions permitting. In addition, the Fund is precluded from making any additional real estate investments. The Fund has no employees.
Pursuant to a Services Agreement dated December 23, 1986 (the "Services Agreement") between the Fund and The Vanguard Group, Inc. (the "Sponsor"), the Sponsor has been retained to provide administrative services for the Fund, including the maintenance of financial records, oversight of the performance of outside service providers and the preparation and distribution of communications to shareholders, etc., and to supervise its day-to-day business affairs. Pursuant to an Advisory Agreement dated December 23, 1986 (the "Advisory Agreement") between the Fund and Aldrich, Eastman & Waltch, Inc. (the "Adviser"), the Adviser has been retained to advise the Fund in connection with the evaluation, selection, management and disposition of its real estate investments. For additional information concerning the Sponsor, the Adviser, the Services Agreement and the Advisory Agreement, see Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Notes to Financial Statements, and Item 13, Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
The Fund's business consists of holding investments primarily in income- producing real properties and mortgage loans that offer the potential to achieve the following investment objectives:
(i) to preserve and protect shareholders' capital; (ii) to provide shareholders with current income in the form of quarterly cash distributions and to provide growth of income over the remaining life of the Fund; and (iii) to provide long-term growth through appreciation in the value of the Fund's real estate investments.
In order to achieve these objectives, the Fund has invested, through direct ownership or shared-appreciation mortgages, in five existing income- producing properties or portfolios of properties, including one portfolio of three office buildings, two shopping centers, a portfolio of warehouses and industrial properties, and one apartment complex. The Adviser believes that the Fund's investments are diversified by both type of investment and geographic location.
As of February 28, 1994, the Fund had invested approximately $75 million in real estate assets, of which $44 million (59%) consisted of real estate owned directly, $29 million (39%) consisted of mortgage loan investments - including $17 million (23%) considered to be in-substance foreclosed assets and $2 million (2%) consisted of marketable securities.
The Fund has elected to be treated as a REIT under the Code. The Fund intends to invest and operate in a manner that will continue to maintain its qualification as a REIT.
The Fund's real estate investments are subject to competition from existing commercial, industrial, and residential properties and will be subject to competition from properties that are developed in the future. The REIT provisions of the Code impose certain financial, investment and operational restrictions that are not applicable to competing entities that are not REITs.
For additional information regarding the Fund's investments, operations, and other significant events, see Item 2, Properties, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

Item 2.



Item 2. Properties - ------------------
As of December 31, 1993, the Fund held the following real estate investments:
Set forth below is a summary of the general competitive conditions for those properties whose book value is ten percent or more of the Fund's total assets as of December 31, 1993, or whose gross revenues are ten percent or more of the aggregate gross revenues of the Fund for the year ended December 31, 1993.
Plaza del Amo - -------------
There are approximately 85,000 households (average household income of $70,000) and 210,000 people within a three-mile radius of the shopping center. Southern California's economy and, in particular, the South Bay market, have been seriously undermined by the recent recession prompted, in part, by difficulties in the defense and aerospace industries. As a result, the retail property market has suffered for several years from weak demand growth. Current market vacancy has remained relatively unchanged at approximately 10-12% and estimated effective rent at comparable properties is $15-$18 per square foot for shop space and $5.25-$8.10 for anchor space.
Oakcreek Village - ----------------
There are approximately 14,500 households (average household income of $57,000) and 32,000 people within a three-mile radius of the center. Employment in the Raleigh-Durham metropolitan area grew 2.6% over the 12 month period ended December 1993. Estimated market rents for comparable properties are approximately $10-$12 per square foot. Tightening market conditions, however, have resulted in several significant proposed projects in Oakcreek Village's trade area. If built, these proposed competitive projects may reduce rent growth and increase the vacancy rate in the area.
Seattle Industrial Park - -----------------------
Boeing Company is the region's driving economic force (and the Seattle Industrial Park's lead tenant). The combination of weak worldwide demand and the severe oversupply of commercial aircraft has resulted in a significant contraction at Boeing. Over the past three years the Seattle economy has had to cope with a transition from a high-growth economy to a little or no-growth environment. Currently, the market is weak with vacancy rates averaging approximately 7%. The estimated triple net market rent for comparable properties is $2.75 per square foot for Valley Industrials and $4-$5 per square foot for Sea-Tac.
Sheffield Forest Apartments - ---------------------------
Washington DC's superior growth over the past decade has slowed appreciably to a rate more in line with the national average. With little near-term stimulus from the region's traditional growth sectors, government and construction, total employment growth is expected to be moderate over the next several years. Estimated market rents for comparable properties stand at $0.70 to $1.10 per square foot and the estimated vacancy rate for comparable properties is 5-6%.
Minnesota Portfolio - -------------------
The Twin Cities economy is characterized by a broad economic base. As a result, employment growth has remained relatively stable over the past decade, and the region has avoided significant job losses during the latest recession. Currently, employment is increasing at an annual rate of 2.1%. Vacancy rates and net market rents for comparable properties are as follows: Shoreview - rent of $7.50 to $9.00 per square foot and vacancy rate of 11%; Arden Hills - rent of $6.00 to $12.50 per square foot and vacancy rate of 5%; and Fairview - rent of $3.25 to $5.00 per square foot and vacancy rate of 13%.
Set forth below is certain operating data for those properties held by the Fund whose book value is ten percent or more of the Fund's total assets as of December 31, 1993 or whose gross revenues are ten percent or more of the aggregate gross revenues of the Fund for the year ended December 31, 1993.

A mortgage loan payable, secured by the Plaza del Amo property, is outstanding at December 31, 1993. Information concerning its principal, interest rate, amortization and maturity provisions is included in Note H to the Fund's financial statements, incorporated by reference in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, and in Schedule XII to Item 14.
Information concerning the interest rates, shared-appreciation features, and other terms of the Fund's mortgage investments is included in Note F to the Fund's Financial Statements, included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, and in Schedule XII to Item 14.
Excluding the Fund's Sheffield investment, the Fund believes that its direct ownership properties, and the properties underlying its mortgage investments, are well maintained, in good repair, suitable for their intended uses and are adequately covered by insurance. For additional information regarding the Fund's real estate investments see Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, and Schedules XI and XII to Item 14.
With respect to the Sheffield investment, cash flow from the property has been insufficient to cover debt service obligations owing to the Fund. As a result, the partnership which owns the property deferred certain maintenance on the property and subsequently defaulted on the mortgage loan in January 1994. The Fund is currently negotiating with the partnership, whose sole asset is the Sheffield property, to obtain title to the property via a transfer of all of its partnership interests to the Fund in full satisfaction of the mortgage loan outstanding. Upon gaining ownership of the property, which the Fund believes to be imminent, the Fund intends to remedy the deferred maintenance on the property. The cost of such renovations, expected to be $150,000 - $250,000, will be financed from the Fund's current operating cash flow. The Fund believes that the Sheffield property is suitable for its intended use and is adequately covered by insurance.
Except for Sheffield as discussed above, the Fund has no other significant renovation, improvement or development plans for its other properties.
Information concerning the Federal tax basis and depreciation method and lives of the Fund's properties and components thereof and on which deprecation is taken is included in Notes A and E to the Fund's Financial Statements, included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, and in Schedule XI to Item 14. All real estate owned is depreciated over 40 years for both financial and tax reporting purposes on a straight-line basis except for leasehold improvements which are depreciated over the term of the respective lease for financial reporting purposes.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
General Partners of Lincoln Park Place II, A Maryland Limited Partnership
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Lincoln Park Place II, A Maryland Limited Partnership (the Partnership) as of October 31, 1993, and the related statements of operations, changes in partners' deficit and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Partnership as of October 31, 1993, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Partnership will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 5 to the financial statements, conditions exist which raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Partnership to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 5. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1993 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization - Lincoln Park Place II, A Maryland Limited Partnership (the Partnership) was formed December 1, 1985, for the purpose of owning, developing and operating a 256-unit garden apartment project in Montgomery County, Maryland. Lincoln Property Company No. 1288, A Maryland Limited Partnership is the managing general partner, and American Financial Realty, Inc. (AFR) is the limited partner. The project was started in November 1986 and completed in December 1987 and had an occupancy rate of 97% at October 31, 1993.
Basis of Accounting - The accounts of the Partnership are maintained on the basis of accounting used for federal income tax reporting purposes. Memorandum entries have been made to present the accompanying financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Depreciation and Amortization - Buildings and improvements are stated at cost and are depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over useful lives ranging from 5 to 30 years.
Deferred Financing Costs - Financing costs incurred in connection with obtaining and closing the mortgage payable have been capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the note.
Other Assets - Other assets consist primarily of prepaid real estate taxes and insurance and deferred expenses.
Federal Income Taxes - The financial statements include only those assets, liabilities and results of operations which relate to the business of the Partnership. The financial statements do not include any assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses attributable to the partners' individual activities. No federal or state income taxes are payable by the Partnership, and none have been provided in the accompanying financial statements. The partners are to include their respective share of partnership profits or losses in their individual tax returns.
Net income or loss determined under generally accepted accounting principles is allocated among the partners based upon provisions in the partnership agreement even though actual partnership allocations are made on an income tax basis. Consequently, the amounts so allocated will not agree to the allocations on the income tax returns.
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Certain of the Partnership's expenses and other disbursements are paid from a central operating account of a general partnership affiliated with the managing general partner in the normal course of business. The Partnership reimburses the affiliate on a regular basis for disbursements made on its behalf. All disbursements are identified by partnership, and the disbursements and reimbursements are accounted for by the Partnership as due to or from the affiliate.
The Partnership has entered into an agreement with Lincoln Property Company N.C., Inc., an affiliate of the managing general partner, which provides for management of the property. For its services, Lincoln Property Company N.C., Inc. is entitled to receive a fee of 5% of monthly rents, as defined, amounting to $101,804 for the fiscal year.
3. MORTGAGE PAYABLE
The permanent financing was obtained from Aldrich, Eastman & Waltch #145 Trust in the amount of $18,000,000, evidenced by the second amended and restated promissory note. The note accrues interest at the base rate of 9.0% and requires monthly payments in arrears at the current pay rate of 8.5%. The pay rate increases 0.5% on December 7, 1993, and remains at the rate of 9.0% thereafter. Accrued but unpaid interest is added to the outstanding principal balance monthly and bears interest at the base rate of 9.0%. Participation interest based on adjusted gross revenue, as defined, may become due and payable quarterly (no participation interest was paid during the fiscal year ended October 31, 1993). Upon the occurrence of certain events, appreciation interest, as defined, becomes due. The note matures December 7, 1998, at which time all principal and deferred interest become due. The note may be prepaid after December 7, 1995, and the lender has the right to call the note, making it fully due and payable any time following December 7, 1994, provided six months' notice of such intention is given. The land, building and improvements serve as collateral for the note which is nonrecourse to the partners of the Partnership. However, certain partners of the managing general partner have guaranteed the payment of this indebtedness under certain conditions in an amount not to exceed $2,000,000. The note payable has an outstanding balance of $18,000,000 and deferred interest of $620,029 at October 31, 1993.
4. PARTNERS' DEFICIT
Capital Contributions - In accordance with the partnership agreement, no additional contributions are required from partners to provide funds for the Partnership.
Allocation of Profits and Losses - The net profits, net gains and net losses from operations of the Partnership and capital transactions shall be allocated 100% to the managing general partner, and the limited partner shall have no interest in such net profits, gains or losses.
5. CASH DEFICITS
During the year ended October 31, 1993, the Partnership incurred cash deficits from operations. Management anticipates that the Partnership will continue to incur cash deficits from operations. There can be no assurance that the Partnership will be able to obtain loans to fund such deficits. Management intends to continue operating the Partnership in its present form while investigating options to improve operations of the Partnership. However, there is no assurance management will be successful in its efforts. This uncertainty raises substantial doubt about the Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern.
