Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

     KP Wingate Insured Partners Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was
formed on May 22, 1987 to originate, process, service and fund mortgage loans
for its own account.  As these mortgage loans were repaid, the repayment funds
were set aside for distribution to the investors in the Partnership.  On Monday,
January 26, 1998, the owner of the project known as Holly Ridge Apartments (the
"Project") refinanced the Project, which resulted in the pay-off of its
Participating Insured Mortgage of approximately Four Million Six Hundred Twenty
Thousand Dollars ($4,620,000).  The loan for Holly Ridge Apartments was the
final loan in the Partnership's loan portfolio, leaving only a limited
partnership interest in the project known as Deauville Apartments under the
Partnership's control.  Deauville Apartments is subject to a purchase and sale
agreement, with an expected closing to occur within the next fifteen (15) to
thirty (30) days.  This sale will permit the Partnership to recover
approximately Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) in advances it made during
1997 to facilitate the sale.  Upon closing the sale of Deauville Apartments, the
Partnership will proceed with the liquidation of all funds held in the
Partnership, and the dissolution and winding up of the Partnership.
