There were no significant changes to such policies in 2018.2019. There are no accounting pronouncements or interpretations that have been issued, but not yet adopted, that Registrant believes will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Registrant had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,344,000.$374,000. These balances are approximately $106,000 lower$36,000 higher than cash and cash equivalents held on December 31, 2017.2018. Cash and cash equivalents decreasedincreased during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 due to a leasing commission paid to an affiliate of the general partner in the amount of $158,494 related to the lease extension executed with the tenant at Registrant’s Maple Grove property combined with partnership expenses and a partial pay down of Registrant’s Note B. This was partially offset by cash flow generated from operating activities at Registrant’s wholly owned property.property partially offset by partnership expenses paid.

Currently, Registrant’s only consistent source of cash is rental income received from the tenant that leases 100% of the leasable space at Registrant’s wholly owned property in Maple Grove. The tenant reimburses Registrant for real estate taxes, insurance and most of the properties’ operating expenses leaving a significant portion of the base rent received available to fund capital improvements and partnership administrative expenses.

Registrant pays the General Partner and an affiliate of the General Partner fees for services performed. A portion of any remaining annual cash flowthe fees during 2011 to 2018 were accrued while Registrant’s unsecured loan was outstanding. Since the unsecured loan has been retired, Registrant is used to pay down the principal balance of Note B in accordance with the Loan Agreement while the remaining cash income is retained by Registrant as cash reserves. As part of Registrant and the Holder restructuring the bank loan in 2011, Registrant set aside $500,000 in escrow to be held and used onlyallowed to pay the accrued fees and current fees. However, Registrant anticipates cash flow generated from the property located in Maple Grove and current cash reserves will not be sufficient to pay ongoing operating and capital improvement costs, other working capital requirements of the Registrant and current and accrued fees due to re-tenant the space atGeneral Partner and its affiliates. A portion of the fees due to the General Partner and its affiliate may be accrued until Registrant receives distributions from Omaha or Registrant’s wholly owned property if Registrant’s tenant defaults on its lease or exercises its right to terminate the lease early or fails to renew. On July 26, 2018, Registrant and the tenant executed the Fifth Amendment to the lease agreement which extends the expiration date to October 31, 2024. The tenant’s base rent will continue to increase 3% each year and the tenant’s option to terminate the lease early has been eliminated. All other significant terms of the lease remain the same.

Total outstanding debt at September 30, 2018 consists of Note B at $5,693,876. Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, when Note A was repaid, interest on the Note B stopped accruing. Note B matured April 29, 2018. Registrant has three one-year options to extend the maturity date if certain conditions are satisfied. On January 30, 2018, the Partnership sent notice to Holder to exercise its first one year option to extend the maturity date to April 29, 2019, which Holder has acknowledged.is sold. The Registrant has no other debt except normal trade accounts payable and accrued investment management fees.

On October 4, 2018, the Partnership and the Holder of the Loan executed a Discounted Payoff Agreement (“Payoff Agreement”) whereby the Partnership will make a one-time payment of $4,000,000 on or before October 30, 2018 to pay off and fully satisfy the balance of the Loan of $5,693,876 at a discount. On October 19, 2018 the Partnership paid the $4,000,000 to the Holder to pay off the Loan.
