ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS

EC Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership"), formerly known as Arvida/JMB
Partners, L.P.-II, filed a proof of claim in a bankruptcy proceeding
entitled In re: Landmark Land Co. of  Florida, Inc., Civil Action No. 2:91-
5291-1, Bankruptcy No. 91-05816 against the debtor, Landmark Land Co. of
Florida, Inc. ("Landmark") in the United States District Court for the
District of South Carolina, Charleston Division. The Partnership's claim
was for breach of a joint venture agreement and breach of contract, among
other things, relating to the Palm Beach Polo property. The proof of claim
sought damages, as well as pre and post-judgment interest, attorneys' fees
and costs.  By order filed on June 30, 1999, the Court disallowed the
Partnership's claim in bankruptcy, except for the amount of $19,732 spent
by the Partnership to landscape the berm at the property plus interest as
provided by law.   The  Partnership filed an appeal from the Court's order
and judgment to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
(the "Appellate Court").  On January 10, 2001, the Appellate Court affirmed
the lower Court's ruling in all aspects, and the Partnership decided not to
seek further review of this ruling.

Landmark filed with the Court a petition seeking payment by the Partnership
of Landmark's attorneys' fees and expenses in the litigation in the amount
of approximately $3.5 million. By order dated and entered on December 20,
2002, the Court denied the petition for attorneys' fees and expenses filed
by Landmark on the basis that Landmark had failed to plead its demand for
attorneys' fees in accordance with Florida law and that Landmark had failed
to meet its burden in showing that the fees requested were necessary and
reasonable.

The Partnership and Landmark subsequently agreed to settle all remaining
issues relating to the litigation and entered into an agreed Consent Order
Resolving Judgments and Approving Withdrawal of All Pending Motions (the
"Order"), which was approved and entered by the Court on March 21, 2003.
Pursuant to the Order, Landmark agreed to forego and relinquish an appeal
of the Court's order entered in December 2002 denying Landmark's petition
for attorneys' fees and expenses as well as a judgment entered by the
Appellate Court entitling Landmark to costs of $1,041 plus interest
thereon.  Under the Order, Arvida agreed to forego and relinquish its
judgment in the amount of $19,732 together with any interest and costs.
Any and all pending motions in the litigation were deemed withdrawn and
thereby denied as moot.  As a result, neither the Partnership nor Landmark,
nor their respective partners, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers,
directors or other related parties owe to the other any damages, costs or
other compensation relating to the subject matter of the litigation or to
issues raised or that could have been raised in the litigation.  In
addition, the Partnership and Landmark mutually released each other and
their respective partners, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors
and other related parties from any and all claims, causes of actions and
other demands relating to the subject matter of the litigation and issues
raised or that could have been raised in the litigation.

The Partnership continues to be a defendant in another, unrelated lawsuit,
Land Investment I, Ltd., Heathrow Land & Development Corporation, Heathrow
Shopping Center Associates and Paulucci Investments v. Arvida/JMB Managers-
II, Inc., Arvida/JMB Partners, L.P.-II, Arvida Company and JMB Realty
Corporation, in the Circuit Court in and for the Eighteenth Judicial
Circuit, Seminole County, Florida.  This case remains in the discovery
stage.  No discovery cut-off date or trial date has been set, although the
court has indicated a desire to try the case in November 2003.  For further
information concerning this lawsuit, please refer to the Partnership's
Form 8-K report (filed under the Partnership's former name, Arvida/JMB
Partners, L.P.-II, File No. 0-19245), dated February 7, 2001.
