PART I

Item 1. Business

General

Income Growth Partners, Ltd. X, a California limited partnership (the “Limited Partnership”) and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Partnership”), was formed in February 1988 to acquire, operate and hold for investment one or more parcels of income-producing, multi-family residential real property. Currently, the Limited Partnership operates two separate apartment complexes in Southern California: 1) Mission Park and 2) Shadow Ridge Meadows. The limited partnership agreement provides that the Partnership shall continue through February 2021, unless terminated sooner.

Income Growth Management, Inc. (“IGM”) is the sole general partner. The general partner has made no cash capital contributions to date. As of December 31, 2002, there were 1,984 limited partners in the Partnership.

The Partnership has no full-time employees. Employees of corporations affiliated with the general partner perform certain administrative and other services on behalf of the Partnership (see Item 12). The Partnership’s executive offices are located at 11230 Sorrento Valley Road, Suite 220, San Diego, California 92121 and the Partnership’s telephone number is (858) 457-2750.

Financing Strategy

The Partnership seeks to minimize the cost of financing its properties and will refinance existing loans from time to time to take advantage of prevailing market conditions. The Mission Park and Shadow Ridge Meadows properties were refinanced to prevailing rates during 1995 and 1997, respectively.

Competitive Conditions

Changes in the national and regional economic climates, changes in local real estate conditions, such as the oversupply of apartments or a reduction in demand for apartments, competition from single-family housing, apartment properties and other forms of multifamily residential housing, the inability to provide adequate maintenance and to obtain adequate insurance, increased operating costs, changes in zoning, building, environmental, rent control and other laws and regulations, the costs of compliance with current and future laws, changes in real property taxes and unusual occurrences (such as earthquakes and floods) and other factors beyond the control of the Partnership may adversely affect the income from, and value of, the Partnership’s properties.

Leases and Inflation

Substantially all of the leases at the Partnership’s apartment properties are for a period of one year or less, allowing, at the time of renewal, for adjustments in the rental rate and the opportunity to release the apartment unit at the prevailing market rate. The short-term nature of these leases generally serves to minimize the risk to the Partnership of the adverse effect of inflation and the Partnership does not believe that inflation has had a material adverse impact on its revenues.

Item 1. Business (Continued)

Restrictions Imposed by Laws Benefiting Disabled Persons

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the “ADA”), all places of public accommodation are required to meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. These requirements became effective in 1992. A number of additional federal, state and local laws exist which also may require modifications to the properties, or restrict certain further renovations thereof, with respect to access thereto by disabled persons. For example, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 (the “FHAA”) requires apartment properties first occupied after March 13, 1990 to be accessible to the handicapped. Noncompliance with the ADA or the FHAA could result in an order to correct any noncomplying feature, which could result in substantial capital expenditures. Although management of the Partnership believes that the properties are substantially in compliance with present requirements, if the properties are not in compliance, the Partnership is likely to incur additional costs to comply with the ADA and the FHAA.

During 1995, on a tax free basis, the Limited Partnership exchanged the Mission Park property for a 99% interest in IGP X Mission Park Associates, L.P., a newly formed California limited partnership (the “Mission Park Subsidiary”). The Mission Park Subsidiary is separate and distinct from the Limited Partnership having separate assets, liabilities and business operations.

During 1997, on a tax free basis, the Limited Partnership exchanged the Shadow Ridge Meadows property for a 99% interest in IGP X Shadow Ridge Meadows, Ltd., a newly formed California limited partnership (the “Shadow Ridge Meadows Subsidiary”). The Shadow Ridge Meadows Subsidiary is also separate and distinct from the Partnership, having separate assets, liabilities and business operations.

Formation of the Mission Park Subsidiary and the Shadow Ridge Subsidiary had no impact on the Partnership’s overall financial condition, results of operations, allocation of net income/loss, cash distributions or Partnership assets.

Item 2. Properties

The Partnership, through its subsidiaries, presently owns two properties as follows:

Mission Park:

Date of purchase: August 1989

Purchase price: $17,100,000

Property Description: A 264 unit apartment complex located in San Marcos, California. The property includes two full-size recreation rooms, two heated swimming pools and spas, night-lighted tennis courts, a satellite cable TV system and covered parking. The building is approximately 13 years old. The property contains 215,292 square feet. Mortgage debt outstanding on this property as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, was approximately $9,400,000 and $9,600,000, respectively.

Item 2. Properties (Continued)

Shadow Ridge Meadows:

Date of purchase: November 1988

Purchase price: $12,700,000

Property Description: A 184 unit apartment complex located in Vista, California. The property includes a large recreation center, a heated swimming pool and spa, five laundry facilities, a satellite cable TV system and covered parking. The building is approximately 14 years old. The property contains 127,197 square feet. Mortgage debt outstanding on this property as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, was approximately $9,300,000 and $9,400,000, respectively.

As depreciation methods for tax and accounting purposes may differ, the tax basis of the properties will vary from the amounts reported in the financial statements.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

The Partnership is not a party to any legal proceedings other than various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of its business, which in the opinion of the Partnership’s management, are not individually or in the aggregate material to its business.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

None

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Units and Related Security Holder Matters

(a)	Market Information
	As of December 31, 2002, the outstanding securities of the Partnership included the Original Units and Class A Units held by the limited partners. The Partnership’s Amended and Restated Agreement of Partnership substantially restricts transfers of all units and no public trading market for the units exists or is intended or expected to develop.
(b)	Holders
	As of December 31, 2002, the Partnership’s 18,826.5 outstanding Original Units and 8,100 Class A Units were held by an aggregate of 1,984 Limited Partners.
(c)	Dividends
	As a limited partnership, the Partnership does not pay dividends.
	The amended partnership agreement provides that any distributions of cash from operations will be made in the following order of priority:

3

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Units and Related Security Holder Matters (Continued)

First, each Class A Unit receives a 12% cumulative noncompounded annual return on the balance of actual funds invested in Class A Units. Second, each Class A Unit receives a total return of original invested capital. Third, each Class A Unit receives a $500 bonus. Fourth, each Original Unit holder receives a 10% noncumulative return on the adjusted balance of original invested capital. Thereafter, 90% of distributions of cash from operations will be made to the Original Unit holders and 10% to the general partner.

The amended partnership agreement also provides that any distributions of cash from sale or refinancing of will be made in the following order of priority:

First, each Class A Unit receives a 12% cumulative noncompounded annual return on the balance of actual funds invested in Class A Units. Second, each Class A Unit receives a total return of original invested capital. Third, each Class A Unit receives a $500 bonus. Fourth, each Original Unit holder receives an amount equal to the adjusted balance of original invested capital. Fifth, the general partner receives any non-subordinated debts payable to them. Sixth, each Original Unit holder receives a 10% cumulative return on the adjusted balance of original invested capital (the “Preferred Return”). Thereafter, 85% of distributions of cash from sale or refinancing will be made to the Original Unit holders and 15% to the general partner. As of December 31, 2002, the general partner has not received any cash distributions from operations or from a sale or refinancing.

The Partnership distributed approximately $810,000 during 2002 and $907,200 during 2001.

Cash distributions are determined at the discretion of the general partner. Any future distributions are largely dependent on future income, expenses, debt service and operating reserves and there can be no assurance that future distributions will be paid.

Item 6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto filed herein. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the consolidated statement of operations in the financial statements, including trends which might appear, should not be taken as indicative of future operations.

Statements contained in this report that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements including statements regarding the Partnership’s expectations, intentions, beliefs or strategies regarding the future. All forward-looking statements included in this report are based upon the information available to the Partnership on the date thereof, and the Partnership assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. It is important to note that the Partnership’s actual results could differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements.

(a)	Liquidity and Capital Resources
	In January 1994, the Limited Partnership filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of California.
	Under the provisions of the Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”), the Limited Partnership was allowed to retain ownership of the Mission Park and Shadow Ridge Meadows properties. Despite $2,025,000 in additional capital from existing investors in the form of Class A Units, the Limited Partnership was unable to raise the necessary capital to retain ownership of its third property, Margarita Summit.

Item 6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

The Limited Partnership emerged from Chapter 11 effective in May 1995 having fully satisfied all claims in accordance with the Plan.

Prior to 1996, the Partnership’s operating and debt service obligations had been financed through the sale of Partnership Units, cash provided by operating activities, and 1995 debt restructuring activities. During 1996 through 2001, all of the Partnership’s operating and debt service cash requirements have been met through cash generated from operations.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” SFAS No. 146 deals with the accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and certain other costs associated with those activities, which were previously recognized as liabilities that did not meet the definitions of a liability. The Partnership is required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 146 during the first quarter of 2003. Management believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 146 will not have a material impact on the Partnership.

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” SFAS No. 144 establishes a single accounting model, based on the framework established in SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of”, for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, and resolves significant implementation issues related to SFAS No. 121. The Partnership did not have any amounts recorded during 2002 related to the implementation of SFAS No. 144. The Partnership adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 144 during the first quarter of 2002.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and (or) normal use of the assets. SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. The Partnership adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 143 for the first quarter of 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 143 did not have a material impact on the Partnership.

Comparison of year ended December 31, 2002 to the year ended December 31, 2001.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $1,703,000 compared to $1,348,000 for the same period in 2001. The principal reason for this difference was an increase in rental revenue which resulted in an increase in Net Income.

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $460,000 compared to $368,000 for the same period in 2001. The increase in cash used in investing activities was due primarily to the capital expenditures made for the renovation and repositioning projects at Mission Park and Shadowridge. This included such items as an exterior paint job, office remodelling and signage upgrades.

Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $1,068,000 compared to $1,149,000 for the same period in 2001. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in distributions to partners.

Item 6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

(b)	Results of Operations
	Comparison of year ended December 31, 2002 to the year ended December 31, 2001.
	Rental revenue for the year ended December 31, 2002, was $5,356,000, an increase of 7% over rents of $4,979,000 in the comparable period in 2001. The increase is primarily attributable to increased rental revenue. Average occupancy rates were essentially unchanged from 2001 to 2002 at approximately 96%.
	Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2002, was $1,445,000, a decrease of 0.1% over interest expense of $1,464,000 in the comparable period in 2001.
	Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2002, were $2,427,000, a decrease of 0.1% over operating expense of $2,458,000 in the comparable period in 2001.
	Depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $966,000, an increase of 4% over the expense of $929,000 in the comparable period in 2001. The increase is primarily attributable to the capital expenditures made during the year.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Income Growth Partners, Ltd.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Income Growth Partners, Ltd. X and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Business

Income Growth Partners, Ltd. X, a California limited partnership (the “Limited Partnership”), and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Partnership”) was formed in February 1988, to acquire, operate and hold for investment one or more parcels of income-producing, multifamily residential real property. Currently, the Partnership owns a 264 unit building in San Marcos, California (“Mission Park”) and a 184 unit building in Vista, California (“Shadowridge Meadows”).

The limited partnership agreement provides that the Partnership shall continue through February 2021, unless terminated sooner.

Income Growth Management, Inc. is the sole general partner. The general partner has made no cash capital contributions to date. As of December 31, 2002, there were 1,984 limited partners in the Partnership.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Limited Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Disclosure about segments

The Partnership has determined that it operates in one segment.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates used in preparing these consolidated financial statements include those assumed in computing depreciation expense.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Partnership considers all highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Financial instruments

The Partnership’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and mortgage notes payable. These financial instruments are stated at their respective carrying values, which approximate their fair values at December 31, 2002 and 2001.

Buildings, improvements, and depreciation

Land, buildings, and improvements are recorded at cost. Buildings and improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 27.5 and 5 to 15 years, respectively.

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant renovations are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the property.

The Partnership assesses its property for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property may not be recoverable. Recoverability of property to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the property to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the property. If the property is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property exceeds the fair value of the property.

The cost and related accumulated depreciation of real estate are removed from the accounts upon disposition. Gains and losses arising from the dispositions are reported as income or expense.

Revenue recognition

Rental revenues are recognized at the beginning of each month based on the current occupancy of the apartments. Tenant leases are generally for a minimum term of six months with an option to rent on a month-to-month basis.

Income taxes

No provision has been made for federal or state income taxes on the operations of the Partnership. Such taxes are imposed on the individual partners for their respective shares of Partnership income or loss. The tax returns and amounts of allocable Partnership income or loss of the Partnership are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. If such examinations result in a change in the Partnership status or in changes to allocable Partnership income or loss, the tax liability of the Partnership or the partners could be changed accordingly.

Deferred loan fees

Deferred loan fees represent expenses incurred in obtaining the Partnership’s mortgage loans payable. These fees are being amortized to expense over the initial term of the loan using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method.

Advertising

The Partnership follows the policy of charging advertising costs to expense as incurred. Advertising expenses were approximately $102,000 and $73,000 for 2002 and 2001, respectively.

New accounting standards

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” SFAS No. 146 deals with the accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and certain other costs associated with those activities, which were previously recognized as liabilities that did not meet the definitions of a liability. The Partnership is required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 146 during the first quarter of 2003. Management believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 146 will not have a material impact on the Partnership.

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” SFAS No. 144 establishes a single accounting model, based on the framework established in SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of”, for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, and resolves significant implementation issues related to SFAS No. 121. The Partnership did not have any amounts recorded during 2002 related to the implementation of SFAS No. 144. The Partnership adopted SFAS No. 144 during the first quarter of 2002.

In June 2001 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and (or) normal use of the assets. SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. The Partnership adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 143 for the first quarter of 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 143 did not have a material impact on the Partnership.

NOTE 2 - ACTIVITIES OF THE PARTNERSHIP

The general partner or its affiliates manage and control the affairs of the Partnership and has general responsibility for supervising the Partnership’s properties and operations. The general partner and affiliates are compensated for these efforts as explained in Note 4.

The original partnership agreement was amended in October 1994 and provides that cash distributions from operations are to be determined at the discretion of the general partner. After adequate working capital reserves have been met, cash distributions deemed appropriate by the general partner will be made as set forth therein.

Distribution of Cash from Operations

The amended partnership agreement provides that any distributions of cash from operations will be made in the following order of priority: First, each Class A Unit receives a 12% cumulative noncompounded annual return on the balance of actual funds invested in Class A Units. Second, each Class A Unit receives a total return of original invested capital. Third, each Class A Unit receives a $500 bonus. Fourth, each Original Unit holder receives a 10% noncumulative return on the adjusted balance of original invested capital. Thereafter, 90% of distributions of cash from operations will be made to the Original Unit holders and 10% to the general partner. Distributions of $810,000 and $907,200 were made during 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Distribution of Cash from Sale or Refinancing

The amended partnership agreement provides that any distributions of cash from a sale or refinancing will be made in the following order of priority:

First, each Class A Unit receives a 12% cumulative non-compounded annual return on the balance of actual funds invested in Class A Units. Second, each Class A Unit receives a total return of original invested capital. Third, each Class A Unit receives a $500 bonus. Fourth, each Original Unit holder receives an amount equal to the adjusted balance of original invested capital. Fifth, the general partner receives any nonsubordinated debts payable to them. Sixth, each Original Unit holder receives a 10% cumulative return on the adjusted balance of original invested capital (the “Preferred Return”). Thereafter, 85% of distributions of cash from sale or refinancing will be made to the Original Unit holders and 15% to the general partner. As of December 31, 2002, the general partner has not received any cash distributions from operations or from a sale or refinancing.

Net losses are allocated 85% to the limited partners and 15% to the general partner. Losses in excess of the limited partners’ capital balances are allocated 100% to the general partner. Net income will be allocated 100% to the general partner until the aggregate net income allocated is equal to the aggregate net losses allocated to the general partner in all previous years. The balance of net income after the initial allocation to the general partner shall be allocated 85% to the limited partners and 15% to the general partner.

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Management Fees

The Partnership’s properties are managed by an affiliate of the general partner who receives management fees. The fee for each property is equal to 5% of the operating revenues generated by that property. Management fees aggregated approximately $284,000 and $245,000 in 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Administrative Fees

The Partnership has an agreement with the same affiliate which manages the properties to pay an administrative fee equal to 8% of any amount, including related professional services, totaling in excess of $5,000, which is expended for any construction or repair project in or about the properties. Administrative fees aggregated approximately $ 20,000 and $17,000 in 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Administration Costs

The Partnership has an agreement with an affiliate of the general partner (the “Affiliate”) who furnishes certain administrative services and facilities to the Partnership, including accounting, data processing, duplication and transfer agent expenses, professional (including, but not limited to, regulatory reporting and legal services), recording and partner communication expenses. The agreement provides for reimbursement to the Affiliate for actual costs incurred. Reimbursements paid to the Affiliate under the provisions of this agreement aggregated approximately $192,000 and $115,000 in 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Note Receivable from General Partner

At December 31, 2002 and 2001, a non-interest bearing note receivable of $10,000 was due from the general partner for its initial partnership capital contribution.

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (Continued)

Debt Placement Fees

During 1995 the Partnership issued notes payable to an affiliate of the general partner for payment of debt placement fees of $102,000. Debt placement fees were equal to 1% of the principal amount of the new third party financing. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the balance of this note was paid off (see Note 3).

Subordinated Real Estate Brokerage Commissions

If the general partner, or any of its affiliates, render services in negotiating and implementing the sale of Partnership properties, the general partner or such affiliates will be paid a real estate brokerage commission in an amount up to one-half of the commission customarily charged in arm’s-length transactions, but not in excess of 3% of the contract price for the property. Payment of such commission (other than payments in the form of promissory notes that are subordinated to the return of capital contributions to limited partners) shall be deferred until the limited partners have received distributions equal to their total original invested capital, plus the 10% Preferred Return described in Note 2. No properties were sold in 2002 and 2001. Accordingly, no brokerage commissions were paid by the Partnership.

NOTE 5 - CONCENTRATIONS

Credit risk

The Partnership maintains cash balances at various financial institutions primarily located in San Diego. Accounts at these institutions are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. At times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Partnership has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Management believes that the Partnership is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash and cash equivalents.

Nature of Business

Changes in the national and regional economic climates, changes in local real estate conditions, such as the oversupply of apartments or a reduction in demand for apartments, competition from single-family housing, apartment properties and other forms of multifamily residential housing, the inability to provide adequate maintenance and to obtain adequate insurance, increased operating costs, changes in zoning, building, environment, rent control and other laws and regulations, the costs of compliance with current and future laws, changes in real property taxes and unusual occurrences (such as earthquakes and floods) and other factors beyond the control of the Partnership may adversely affect the income from, and value of, the Partnership’s properties.
