PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS LIF (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership which was organized under the California Revised Limited Partnership Act on June 29, 1984. The Partnership was organized to acquire real properties, including commercial, residential and agricultural properties, located primarily within the western portion of the United States, and to make short-term loans and capital contributions to other limited partnerships formed to acquire or develop and operate one or more income-producing real properties. The Partnership was formed with the following principal investment objectives: (i) to provide the maximum possible cash distributions from operations, a substantial portion of which may not be taxable to the holders of units of limited partnership interest in the Partnership (the "Holders"); (ii) to provide for capital growth through appreciation in values; and (iii) to protect the Partnership's capital. The General Partner of LIF is Partners '85 (the "General Partner") a partnership whose General Partner is Landsing Equities Corporation. The Partnership's business consists of a single segment--acquisition and operation of one or more income-producing real properties and making short-term loans and capital contributions to operating entities formed to acquire or develop real properties. For a schedule of the Partnership's income and losses and assets, see Item 6, Selected Financial Data. The Partnership will not be engaged in the production of goods or the rendering of services. For a more specific discussion of the Partnership's operations and financial condition, see Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The Partnership owns two retail rental properties, which in prior years were owned by Cattle Creek Development Partners (CCDP). CCDP was liquidated into LIF in 1997. For financial reporting purposes the Partnership's investments are presented on a consolidated basis. Results of the Partnership's operations depend primarily upon the successful operation of its investments. The yields (return on capital) available on equity ownership of investments in income-producing and other types of real estate investments depend to a large extent upon the ability to lease or rent the property, the geographic location of the property, competition and other factors, none of which can be predicted with any certainty. The Partnership has not engaged in research activities relating to the development or improvement of products or services. The Partnership has not made, nor does it anticipate making, during the succeeding fiscal year, any capital expenditures for environmental control facilities, nor does it expect any material effects upon capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position resulting from compliance with present federal, state or local environmental control provisions. The Partnership has no employees. All of the Partnership's operations are located in the United States. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES A description of the income-producing properties which the Partnership owned at December 31, 1999 is as follows:
Financial Occupancy Average Net For the Physical Effective Rentable Year Ended Occupancy Rental Name & Location Type Sq. Ft. 12/31/99 At 12/31/99 Rate (1) (2) (3) Valley View Business Center Glenwood Springs, CO Retail 20,750 81% 81% $ 11 701 Cooper Glenwood Springs, CO Commercial 2,937 0% 0% $ 0 (1) Expressed as a percentage, it compares the actual dollar amount of rent received with the dollar amount of rent which would be received if the property were fully leased. (2) Physical occupancy denotes the percentage of net rentable square footage leased as of a certain date. (3) Represents the average effective rental rates, per square foot, for the year ended December 31, 1999.
Each of the Partnership's properties is subject to encumbrances. Reference is made to Note 6 in the financial statements filed as part of this annual report for information regarding such encumbrances. WHISTLER POINT APARTMENTS Whistler Point was placed under contract during the fourth quarter of 1998. The Property was sold on February 28, 1999. The sales price was $9,600,000 resulting in a gain for income tax purposes of $3,562,000. After repayment of the debt secured by the property and the selling costs, the Partnership netted $3,600,000 in cash. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The 1996 lawsuit was resolved in March 1999. The plaintiff (tenant) attained a $30,000 judgment against CCDP which was paid by State Farm Insurance Company, the insurer for CCDP. In June of 1999, CCDP filed a lawsuit to evict one of the tenants of Valley View Business Park. There were three separate suits filed. The outcome was in CCDP's favor, but an appeal has been filed. The appellate court required the defendant to post a $25,000 bond during the appeal process. The appeal is still pending as of December 31, 1999. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matter has been submitted to a vote of the limited partners (the "Limited Partners") through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the fourth quarter of 1999 PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDERS MATTERS There is no established public trading market for the Units of Limited Partnership interest of the Partnership and there are substantial restrictions on the transferability of such Units imposed by federal and state securities laws and by the Limited Partnership Agreement. The approximate number of record holders of Units of the Partnership as of December 31, 1999 is 889. The Limited Partners of the Partnership are entitled to certain distributions under the Amended and Restated Certificate and Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership. A cash distribution of $250 per unit, to unit holders of record on June 1, 1999, was paid in June 1999. ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA (In thousands, except per unit amount)

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS INTRODUCTION The Partnership was organized to acquire real properties, including commercial, residential and agricultural properties, located primarily within the western portion of the United States, and to make short-term loans and capital contributions to other limited partnerships formed to acquire or develop and operate one or more income-producing real properties. The Partnership currently has two retail rental properties, which were formerly owned by CCDP. For financial reporting purposes the Partnership's investments are presented on a consolidated basis. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership's consolidated cash balance totaled $884,000. Cash not required for current operations is placed in federally insured bank accounts, certificates of deposit, and money market funds which can be liquidated as needed. It is the Partnership's intention to maintain adequate cash reserves for its operations. As of December 31, 1999, cash and cash equivalents totaled $884,000 versus $566,000 at December 31, 1998 for a net increase of $318,000. On June 3, 1996, the Partnership made a Short-Term Loan in the principal amount of $550,000 to Alpine Center Partners, a Colorado limited partnership ("ACP"). ACP was organized to acquire one commercial property located in Carbondale, Colorado. The Partnership also made a capital contribution to ACP in the amount of $10,000 and became a Co-General Partner of ACP. On September 30, 1997, the Partnership's investment in ACP sold 40.20% of the Alpine Center Building to Gary K. Barr (GKB). GKB is the president of the General Partner of LIF. This sale resulted in cash to ACP of $370,000. On September 30, 1997, ACP also sold 45.90% of the Alpine Center Building to Open World Investors (OWI), of which Gary K. Barr is a General Partner. This sale generated cash to ACP of $420,000. ACP deferred a gain on sale from these two transactions of $69,000. ACP provided seller financing to GKB and OWI in the amounts of $864,300 and $986,850 respectively. On June 30, 1998, ACP sold its remaining 1.96% interest in the Alpine Center Building to Gary K. Barr for $59,000. ACP received cash proceeds of $17,000 and provided seller financing in the amount of $42,000. ACP's short-term note payable to LIF was paid off in June 1998. The notes were refinanced and ACP closed in July of 1999. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Rental revenues were $190,000 in 1999, a decrease of $1,445,000 or 88% compared with 1998. Rental revenues were $1,635,000 in 1998, a decrease of $94,000 or approximately 5% from 1997. The decline in rental revenues in 1999 versus 1998 was the result of the sale of P21. The decrease in revenues in 1998 as compared to 1997 was the result of the lack of lease revenues for 701 Cooper Avenue in 1998, which was leased for the entire year in 1997. Operating expenses were $99,000 in 1999, a decrease of $613,000 or 86% from 1998. Operating expenses were $712,000 in 1998, an increase of $46,000 or 7% from 1997. The decrease of operating expenses in 1999 versus 1998 was the result of the sale of P21. The increase in operating expenses in 1998 over 1997 was the result of writing off accounts receivable. Maintenance and repairs decreased 9%, and general and administrative costs decreased 5%. Operating costs remained constant with 1997 levels. Net operating income of properties (rental revenue less operating expenses) was $91,000 in 1999, a decrease of $832,000 or 90% from 1998. Management believes net operating income is the best indication of the properties' performance. Interest income decreased 65% from $26,000 in 1998 to $9,000 in 1999. The decrease was due to the decrease in the Partnership's short-term investments and cash equivalents. Interest expense decreased $423,000 from 1998 to 1999. The decrease was due to lower average outstanding loan balances in 1999 and the sale of P21. Interest income and interest expense on loans by and between LIF and its investment, CCDP, were eliminated in the consolidation of the Company's financial statements. Entity level general and administrative expenses, exclusive of that at the property level, increased $75,000 in 1999 compared to 1998. The increase was due to the disposition of P21 fees. Portfolio management fees remained unchanged. Net income for 1999 was $3,337,000. The net loss for 1998 was $159,000. The increase was due to the sale of Whistler Point Apartments. PROPERTY OPERATIONS Commercial Property - The 701 Cooper Building was not occupied during 1999. The Valley View Business Center had stable occupancy during 1999. Valley View Business Center and 701 Cooper are currently listed for sale. The Properties are valued at the lower of cost or market. OCCUPANCY Occupancy at the Partnership's properties remained stable in 1999, with the exception of the 701 Cooper Building. As of December 31, 1999, occupancy at the Valley View Business Center ended the year at 80% occupancy. DISTRIBUTIONS The General Partner declared a cash distribution of $250 per unit to unit holders of record on June 1, 1999, that was paid in June 1999. INFLATION The effect of inflation on the Partnership's operations have been no greater than the effect on the economy as a whole. Because of competitive conditions, market rate rents may increase or decrease disproportionately with inflation while property operating costs continue to follow inflationary trends. Inflationary conditions are not expected to have a major impact on the Partnership during 2000. ITEM 8.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of LIF and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The General Partner is Partners '85 (the "General Partner"), a California limited partnership, whose General Partner is Landsing Equities Corporation. LIF was formed in June 1984, and shall continue until December 31, 2034, unless sooner terminated.

During 1996, the Partnership invested into 95% of a new entity - Alpine Center Partners ("ACP"). ACP acquired rental real estate in Colorado in 1996. Consolidation of Investment in Real Estate Partnerships - For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership consolidates the operations of it's investment in real estate partnerships with that of the Partnership. All significant intercompany transactions, including notes payable/receivable and short-term loans/receivables, and balances have been eliminated. Minority interest was insignificant at December 31, 1999 and 1998. Rental Property - Rental property is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from five to forty years. Major additions and betterments are capitalized at cost, while maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are expensed currently. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss on disposal is included in the results of operations. Rental property held for sale is valued at lower of cost or market. Deferred Loan Costs - Loan fees are deferred and amortized over the life of the related note payable. Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Short-Term Investments - The Partnership invests in short-term federally insured certificates of deposits which mature on a date in excess of three months from the date of purchase. The cost of these investments approximate market value. Income Taxes - No provision for federal or state income taxes has been made in the consolidated financial statements because these taxes are the obligation of the partners. Net Income (Loss) Per Partnership Unit - Net Income (Loss) per partnership unit is based on weighted average units outstanding of 12,820 in 1999, 1998 and 1997, after giving effect to net income (loss) allocated to the General Partner. Cash distributions of $250 per unit were paid to limited partnership unit holders in 1999. Cash distributions of $15 per unit were paid in 1998. No cash distributions were paid in 1997. Concentrations of Credit Risk - The Partnership's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of its cash and cash equivalents, and note receivables. The Partnership's cash and cash equivalents are maintained in various accounts in FDIC insured institutions. This investment policy limits the Partnership's exposure to concentrations of credit risk. The note receivables outstanding are held by two related parties (see note 4). Due to the related party nature of the receivables and the intention of the related parties to obtain permanent financing from a bank within the next six months credit risk is considered minimal. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of" during 1996. SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used or disposed of by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. During 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Partnership determined that no impairment loss need be recognized for applicable assets of continuing operations. Accounting Pronouncements - In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities" (SFAS No.125). This Statement is effective for transactions occurring after December 31, 1996. However, transactions such as securities lending, repurchase agreements, dollar rolls, and similar secured financing arrangements are not subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 125 until January 1, 1998. The standard provides that, following a transfer of financial assets, an entity is to recognize the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognize financial assets when control has been surrendered and derecognize liabilities when extinguished. The adoption of SFAS No. 125 had no impact on the Partnership's consolidated financial statements. Effective January 1, 1998, the Partnership adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 requires that an enterprise (a) classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and (b) display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of financial condition. However, the Partnership had no items of comprehensive income at December 31, 1999 or December 31, 1998. Effective January 1, 1998, the Partnership adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments Of An Enterprise And Related Information." However, the Partnership does not have any reportable segments at December 31, 1999 or December 31, 1998. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The fair value of certain financial assets carried at cost, including cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable, are considered to approximate their respective fair value. The fair value of accrued liabilities is considered to approximate their respective book values due to their short-term nature. The valuation of notes receivables and notes payable with floating rates is estimated to be the same as carrying value. Fair value of notes payable with fixed rates is estimated based on quoted market prices for similar issues. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, fair value of notes payable approximates carrying value. 2. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts Receivable consisted of the following at December 31, 1999: Tenant Receivables $ 0 Allowance for doubtful accounts 0 Net accounts receivable $ 0
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Partnership has entered into agreements with Pacific Coast Capital. Advisory services for investment management, general, administrative and property management are provided by Pacific Coast Capital. The General Partner is an affiliate of Pacific Coast Capital. The related party transactions delineated in the Partnership Agreement with affiliates of the General Partner are as follows:
1999 1998 1997 General and Administrative Support Fees $ 103 $ 112 $ 103 Property Management $ 0 $ 89 $ 36 Accounts Receivable $ 0 $ 0 $ 17
In addition, expenses related to the sale of Whistler Point in the amount of $46 were paid to Pacific Coast Capital in 1999. Bad debt of $33 from The Landsing Corporation was written off in 1999. During 1999 and 1998, the Partnership had a sale transaction with the President of the General Partner and another entity. (See Note 4). 4. NOTES RECEIVABLE On June 30, 1998, Alpine Center Partnership sold its 1.96% investment in the Alpine Center Building to Gary K. Barr. This sale transaction included the exchange of cash and a note receivable. At September 30, 1997, Alpine Center Partnership (ACP) sold 40.2% and 45.9%, respectively, of the Alpine Center Building to Gary K. Barr, president of the general partner of LIF, and to Open World Investors, Ltd., whose general partner is Gary K. Barr. Open World Investors, Ltd. is also managed by PCC. These sales were made for cash and notes receivable. In 1996, ACP sold 11.94% of the Alpine Center Building to an unrelated third party for cash. The notes receivable generated from the sale to Barr and Open World Investors, Ltd., were $806 and $987, respectively. The terms of the notes receivable are the same as the financing terms ACP has with the bank and LIF on loans secured by the Alpine Center Building. The notes receivable from these sales are directly in proportion to the notes payable to Alpine Bank and Barr. There is no equity built in to these notes. When these notes payable are re-financed in the name of the new owners, these notes receivable will be eliminated, as will the notes payable that they offset. See discussion of credit risk at Note 1. The sales agreements stipulate that each buyer assume debt that ACP has related to the Alpine Center Building up to their respective percentage ownership except for the sale to the unrelated third party, whose debt assumption was capped at $256. Management does not expect the debt to be assumed by the unrelated third party to exceed this amount. At the dates of the sales, the Alpine Center Building consisted of land, one existing commercial building and one commercial building (Phase II) planned for construction after 1997. The liability for future improvements at December 31, 1997 of $828 represents the estimated future costs of constructing Phase II. The gain on the sale of the Alpine Center Building was deferred at December 31, 1997. During 1998, the Phase II portion of the building construction of the Alpine Center was completed. The Partnership realized a net gain of $22 through the completion of Phase II and the sale of the Alpine Center Building. 5. RENTAL PROPERTY Rental property consists of the following at December 31:

9. CONTINGENCIES The 1996 lawsuit was resolved in March 1999. The plaintiff (tenant) attained a $30,000 judgment against CCDP which was paid by the insurer for CCDP. In June of 1999, CCDP filed a lawsuit to evict one of the tenants of Valley View Business Park. There were three separate suits filed. The outcome was in CCDP's favor, but an appeal has been filed. The appellate court required the defendant to post a $25,000 bond during the appeal process. The appeal is still pending as of December 31, 1999.
