NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2001
(Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the balance sheet as of June 30, 2001, the statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, and the statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.
The financial statements included herein have been prepared by management, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles has been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statement and notes thereto included in the Form S-4 for the year ended December 31, 2000.
Nature of Business and Transaction
American Spectrum Realty, Inc. (“ASR” or the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation established August 8, 2000 to be the legal acquiror and registrant in a consolidation transaction whereby partners in existing related partnerships would trade partnership units for shares in this new public entity and owners of existing related entities would exchange ownership interests for units in an operating partnership that will be formed and will initially be wholly owned by the Company. ASR is a wholly owned subsidiary of CGS Real Estate Company, Inc. ASR will (subject to approval) acquire eight public limited partnerships, two private entities and, on a carve-out basis, CGS and the Majority-Owned Affiliates. The accounting acquirer in this transaction will be Sierra Pacific Pension Investors `84 (SPPI84). The financial statements of SPPI84 are presented following the ASR financial statements. These events are collectively referred to as the “Transaction”.
CGS includes CGS Real Estate Company, Inc. and various other entities and properties involved in real estate development, management, ownership and operation. CGS’ operations are located principally in the Midwestern and Western United States. CGS’ properties consist of 16 office, office/warehouse, apartment and shopping centers and one parcel of vacant land. CGS will be a predecessor entity once the transaction closes. The financial statements of CGS are presented following the financial statements of SPPI84.
ASR will be a full-service real estate corporation. The Company’s primary business will be the ownership of office, office/warehouse, apartments and shopping center properties. The public limited partnerships own 18 office/warehouse and apartment properties. If all the public limited partnerships approve the Transaction, ASR will initially own 34 properties. The Company plans to expand its business by acquiring additional properties. The Company will focus primarily on office, office/warehouse and apartment properties located in the Midwestern and western United States. ASR intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust (REIT) in 2003.
The major activity affecting the Company’s books and records during the period from inception (August 8, 2000) to June 30, 2001 were costs related to the Transaction. Costs that were incremental, directly attributable to the Transaction, and paid to third party vendors were capitalized as transaction costs. These costs will be charged to equity or capitalized as debt issuance costs upon successful completion of the Transaction as a cost of issuing securities or debt respectively, depending upon the outcome of the shareholders’ vote. Until this Transaction occurs, the Company will be dependent upon CGS to fund its operations. The December 31, 2000 combined financial statements of CGS and the December 31, 2000 financial statements of ASR, included in the Form S-4, disclose an uncertainty regarding their ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans in regard to these matters include the parent company obtaining additional loans from shareholders, obtaining extensions from lenders, or refinancing all debt through the completion of the Transaction. See footnotes to CGS’ financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for further discussion of the going concern issue and management plans.
The notes payable included in the accompanying balance sheets are payable to three of the public limited partnerships and are guaranteed by CGS, the general partner of the limited partnerships and parent company of ASR. These notes payable will be eliminated upon consummation of the Transaction assuming all of the partnerships elect to participate.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from three to five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.
3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133) as amended by SFAS 137 and 138, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS 133 requires that changes in the derivative’s fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative’s gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company formally document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. SFAS 133 will be effective for the Company beginning with the 2001 fiscal year and may not be applied retroactively. Management does not believe that SFAS 133 will have a material impact on the financial statements.
In July 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”, which is effective for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations to be accounted for under the purchase method and that the pooling-of-interest method is no longer allowed. The Company will account for the Transaction under the purchase method.
In July 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS No. 142 requires, among other things, that goodwill no longer be amortized to earnings, but instead be reviewed for impairment. The adoption of SFAS No. 142 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In June 2001, FASB issued SFAS 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement”. SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The provisions of SFAS No. 143 are required to be applied starting with fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company believes the adoption of the provisions of SFAS 143 will not have a significant effect its on financial position or results of operations.
4. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Subsequent to the date of the Prospectus/Consent Solicitation Statement dated August 8, 2001, an affiliate of CGS purchased 5,572 units in Sierra Pacific Development Fund – II from affiliates of Everest Trust for a purchase of $1,150,000 or $206.39 per unit. In connection with the purchase, Everest entered into a standstill agreement for a five-year period covering the Sierra and Nooney funds and ASR following the closing of the Transaction. CGS and its affiliates own 13,490 units or 15.6% of the outstanding units in Sierra Pacific Development Fund – II and intend to vote these units for the Transaction.
On August 30, 2001, CGS transferred all of the membership interest in the entity which owns Villa Redondo Apartments to the Operating Partnership American Spectrum Realty, L.P., a subsidiary of American Spectrum Realty, Inc.

(A Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the opinion of Sierra Pacific Pension Investors ‘84’s (the Partnership) management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position at June 30, 2001 and results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All adjustments included in these financial statements are of a normal and recurring nature. The financial statements include the accounts of Sierra Valencia, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances are eliminated in consolidation. The Partnership consolidates all entities in which it has a controlling equity interest. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Annual Report of the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2000.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the June 30, 2000 Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to conform to the June 30, 2001 presentation.
2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Included in the financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 are affiliate transactions as follows:
June 30 | ||||||
2001 | 2000 | |||||
Management fees | $ | 13,097 | $ | 7,882 | ||
Administrative fees | 40,052 | 37,881 | ||||
Leasing fees | 27,027 | 0 | ||||
Construction fees | 11,508 | 0 | ||||
On April 16, 2001, the combined financial statements of the parent of the general partner and other affiliates, including the general partner, (the Company) were issued. The independent public accountants report on such statements contained an explanatory paragraph relating to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company experienced losses in the periods presented and has a net capital deficiency. Certain entities in the combined financial statements have not made debt payments when due and various lenders placed $10,520,000 of debt in default. Certain entities also needed to pay or refinance a significant amount of debt coming due in the next twelve months. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the combined entities to continue as a going concern.
Management of the Company has plans related to these matters, which include, in addition to those items discussed above, obtaining additional loans from shareholders, obtaining extensions from lenders or refinancing all debts through the completion of the transaction discussed in Note 5. In addition, if necessary, management believes it could sell properties to generate cash to pay debt. The Partnership does not believe that the effect of the ultimate outcome of the circumstances surrounding the Company will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial position.
3. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURE
Sierra Mira Mesa Partners (SMMP) was formed in 1985 between the Partnership and Sierra Pacific Development Fund II (SPDFII), an affiliate, to develop and operate the real property known as Sierra Mira Mesa, an office building, located in San Diego, California. The Partnership’s initial ownership interest in SMMP was 49%; the remaining 51% was owned by SPDFII. Effective December 31, 1996, the general partners amended the partnership agreement to allow for adjustments in the sharing ratio each year based upon the relative net contributions and distributions since inception of each general partner. At June 30, 2001 the Partnership’s interest in SMMP was 80.32%; the remaining 19.68% interest is owned by SPDFII.
The consolidated financial statements of SMMP include the accounts of SMMP and Sorrento I Partners, a majority owned California general partnership. Summarized income statement information for SMMP for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 is as follows:
June 30 | ||||||
2001 | 2000 | |||||

4. PARTNERS’ EQUITY
Equity and net income (loss) per limited partnership unit is determined by dividing the limited partners’ share of the Partnership’s equity and net income by the number of limited partnership units outstanding, 77,000.
During 2000, an amount was transferred between the partners’ equity accounts such that 99% of cumulative operating income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Partnership is allocated among the limited partners and 1% was allocated to the general partner. Management does not believe that the effect of this transfer was significant.
5. PENDING TRANSACTION
CGS Real Estate Company, Inc. (CGS), an affiliate of the corporate general partner of the Partnership, is continuing the development of a plan which will combine the Partnership’s property with the properties of other real estate partnerships managed by CGS and its affiliates. These limited partnerships own office properties, industrial properties, shopping centers and residential apartment properties. It is expected that the acquiror, American Spectrum Realty, Inc. (ASR), would qualify in the future as a real estate investment trust. Limited partners would receive shares of common stock in ASR, which would be listed on a national securities exchange.
The Partnership’s participation in this plan will require the consent of its limited partners. ASR filed a registration statement on Form S-4 August 14, 2000 relating to the solicitation of consents with the SEC. The registration statement was amended February 14, 2001, April 24, 2001, June 26, 2001, and August 7, 2001 and was declared effective by the SEC on August 8, 2001. The plan and the benefits and risks thereof were described in detail in the final prospectus/consent solicitation statement included in the registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933 at the time it was declared effective by the SEC. Solicitation materials have been provided to limited partners in connection with the solicitation of the consent of the limited partners. There can be no assurances that the plan described above will be consummated.
As of June 30, 2001, the Partnership has paid a total of $1,127,583 in expenses relating to the pending transaction. These costs primarily relate to professional fees and are recorded as an affiliate receivable on the balance sheet. When the transaction is finalized, the Partnership will be compensated with additional stock. If the transaction is terminated, the Partnership will be reimbursed by CGS for all costs incurred.
6. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. SFAS No. 133 requires a company to recognize all derivative instruments (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) as assets or liabilities in its balance sheet and measure them at fair value. The statement requires that changes in the derivative’s fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. SFAS No. 133, as amended, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Partnership adopted the accounting provisions of SFAS No. 133 in 2001. The implementation of SFAS No. 133 did not have a significant effect on the Partnership’s financial conditions or results of operations.
In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, which summarizes certain of the SEC staff’s views on applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. The Partnership adopted the accounting provisions of SAB 101 in 2000. The implementation of SAB 101 did not have a significant effect on the Partnership’s financial condition or results of operations.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2001
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited combined financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the balance sheet as of June 30, 2001, the statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 and the statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2001.
The combined financial statements included herein have been prepared by management, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles has been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations; management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the S-4 for the year ended December 31, 2000.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2000 condensed financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.
2. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND PRINCIPLES OF COMBINATION
CGS and the Majority-owned Affiliates (the “Company”) includes CGS Real Estate Company, Inc., (“CGS” a Texas corporation) and various other entities involved in real estate development, management, ownership, and operation. The Company’s operations are located principally in the Midwest and Western United States and consist of office, office/warehouse, shopping centers, and multi-family apartment properties. The Company’s combined financial statements include the following subsidiaries and properties:
Subsidiaries | Properties | ||
American Spectrum Realty, Inc. | Autumn Ridge | Parkade Center | |
Bancor | Villa Redondo | West Florissant | |
S-P Properties, Inc. | Back Bay | Creekside/Riverside Apts | |
American Spectrum Real Estate Services, Inc. | 7700 Irvine Center Dr | Pacific Spectrum | |
Richardson Plaza | Northwest Corporate Ctr. | ||
Sierra Technology | Market Place | ||
Columbia N.E. | Beach & Lampson |
All significant intercompany balances are eliminated in combination. The Company combines all entities in which it has a controlling equity interest. Refer to the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000, which are contained in the Company’s Form S-4/A – Amendment No. 5 to Registration Statement on Form S-4 Under the Securities Act of 1933, for description of the accounting policies which have been continued without change except as noted below. The details in those notes have not changed except as a result of normal transactions in the interim or as noted below.
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
(i) Notes Payable to Shareholders
Notes payable to shareholders consist of non-interest bearing advances, due on demand.
(ii) Notes Payable to Affiliates
Notes payable to affiliates consists of various notes secured usually by real estate. The notes bear interest at various rates, ranging from 6% to 12% and generally mature in various years through January 2005. Notes payable totaling $7,218,000 are part of a settlement agreement entered into 1999 and were, pursuant to the settlement agreement, were due prior to December 31, 2000. Such notes were not paid in accordance with the settlement agreement causing the settlement agreement to be declared void. The Company intends to repay these loans late in 2001 using the proceeds from refinancing properties.
(iii) Income from Affiliates
The Company includes various property management subsidiaries that provide leasing, brokerage, and other services to affiliates and unrelated parties. Amounts paid/received from property management services to properties included in these combined financial statements are eliminated. The property management subsidiaries also perform services for various uncombined entities in which the Company has ownership interests, the revenue from which has been reflected as income from affiliates in the accompanying combined financial statements.
4. GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT PLANS
On April 16, 2001, the Company’s audited combined financial statements as of December 31, 2000 were issued. The independent public accountant’s report on such statements contained an explanatory paragraph relating to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company experienced losses in the periods presented and has a net capital deficiency. Certain entities in the combined financial statements had not made debt payments when due and various lenders placed $10,250,000 of debt in default. Certain entities also needed to pay or refinance a significant amount of debt coming due in 2001. These factors raised substantial doubt about the ability of the combined entities, including the general partner, to continue as a going concern.
Management plans in regard to these matters include obtaining additional loans from shareholders, obtaining extensions from lenders or refinancing debt through the completion of the Transaction (see Note 6). In addition, if necessary, management believes it could sell properties to generate cash to pay debt. Management believes operating losses are a result of the Company’s business plan that includes acquisition and turn-around of under performing properties. During the turn-around period, losses can accrue due to the temporary excess of operating expenses, interest expense, and management cost over rental income.
On August 29, 2001, Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company commenced a lawsuit in the United States District Court, Central District of California against the Company, seeking recovery of $4,668,387 as a result of the Company’s alleged breach of its guaranty of a mortgage loan made by plaintiff to McDonnell Associates, LLC. The loan is secured by a second mortgage on the Northwest Corporate Center and came due on the maturity date.
The Company has also reached a preliminary agreement to extend debt of approximately $22,000,000 until December 15, 2001. This agreement is not final and is subject to the Company making certain payments and meeting other conditions as outlined by the bank. In the opinion of management, this extension will be successfully completed.
5. MINORITY INTEREST
On February 28, 2001, a third party buyer (the “Buyer”) purchased a 49% undivided tenancy-in-common interest in the Company’s Creekside/Riverside property (the “Property”). In exchange for this interest, the Buyer agreed to pay the Company $1,000,000. In addition, the sale agreement stipulates income and expenses shall be allocated to the Company and Buyer based upon their respective ownership interests.
The Company has accounted for this transaction as a joint venture and as such, the purchase price is accounted for as minority interest on the accompanying balance sheet. Further, income and distribution allocable to the Buyer are accounted for as an offset to the minority interest account.
6. PENDING TRANSACTION
The Company is continuing the development of a plan to merge certain entities and assets included in the Company’s combined financial statements into a subsidiary of the operating partnership owned by American Spectrum Realty, Inc. (ASR). ASR was established to be the legal acquirer and registrant in the consolidation transaction, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of CGS. ASR will then (subject to approval) acquire eight public limited partnerships and two private entities. The accounting acquirer in this transaction will be one of the eight public limited partnerships (Sierra Pacific Pension Investors ’84). These events are collectively referred to as the “Transaction”. Assuming all entities elect to be included in the Transaction, the assets and liabilities of each entity will be exchanged for stock and promissory notes of ASR (see footnotes to ASR’s financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for further discussion on how notes arise) and operating partnership units in a newly formed operating partnership, that will initially be owned by ASR and will continue to be a consolidated subsidiary of ASR thereafter. The private entities and public limited partnerships, which can be included in the Transaction, are engaged in substantially the same business as the Company. The Company currently provides property management services to these entities. ASR intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust (REIT) for federal income tax purposes beginning in 2003.
7. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133) as amended by SFAS 137 and 138, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS 133 requires that changes in the derivative’s fair value be recognized currently in earning unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative’s gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company formally document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. SFAS 133 will be effective for the Company beginning with the 2001 fiscal year and may not be applied retroactively. Management does not believe that SFAS 133 will have a material impact on the financial statements.
In July 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”, which is effective for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations to be accounted for under the purchase method and that the pooling-of-interest method is no longer allowed. The Company will account for the Transaction under the purchase method.
In July 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS No. 142 requires, among other things, that goodwill no longer be amortized to earnings, but instead be reviewed for impairment. The adoption of SFAS No. 142 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In June 2001, FASB issued SFAS 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement”. SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The provisions of SFAS No. 143 are required to be applied starting with fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company believes the adoption of the provisions of SFAS 143 will not have a significant effect on its financial position or results of operations.
In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, which summarizes certain of the SEC staff’s views on applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. The Company adopted the accounting provisions of SAB 101 in 2000. The implementation of SAB 101 did not have a significant effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
8. LITIGATION
In December 1994, a subsidiary of CGS acquired the corporate general partner of certain public real estate investment funds (the “Funds”) in exchange for assumption of unsecured loans payable to the Funds (Unsecured Debt). Separately, the Company acquired property from a Fund in exchange for cash and a purchase money note payable to such Fund secured by the property acquired (Secured Debt). Pursuant to the terms of a litigation settlement agreement relating to the Unsecured Debt, the Secured Debt, and other matters, CGS agreed to repay both debts and cause the Funds to distribute the proceeds to the partners of the Funds. As of December 31, 2000 interest and principal due to the Funds with respect to the Unsecured Debt and Secured Debt totaled $7,218,000. A provision for this settlement is accrued for in the notes payable affiliate account on the accompanying balance sheet. The Company did not repay the amounts due in accordance with the settlement agreement. As a result, the settlement agreement was declared void. Therefore, litigation relating to the Unsecured Debt, Secured Debt, and other matters was reinstated.
In March 2001, the Company was named as a defendant in an action brought by certain limited partners of a limited partnership, which will not be part of the consolidation, seeking damages in excess of $8,500,000. The claims arise out of allegations by the limited partners that an affiliate of the Company, as former general partner, breached various legal duties to the partnership for benefit of individuals and entities affiliated with the general partner. The Company is alleged to be one of the parties that benefited from the alleged breaches. The outcome of this matter is uncertain.
The Company is also party to various lawsuits and disputes that have arisen in the normal course of business. The liability, if any, arising from the unfavorable outcome of these other matters is presently unknown. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these other actions will not materially affect the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
On August 29, 2001, Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company commenced a lawsuit in the United States District Court, Central District of California against the Company, seeking recovery of $4,668,387.20 as a result of the Company’s alleged breach of its guaranty of a mortgage loan made by plaintiff to McDonnell Associates, LLC. The loan is secured by a second mortgage on the Northwest Corporate Center and came due on the maturity date. The plaintiff has not taken any action to foreclose on this mortgage. The Company believes that it will be able to obtain financing from other lender to repay this loan. As a result, the Company does not expect that this lawsuit will have a material effect on its financial condition.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Subsequent to the date of the Prospectus/Consent Solicitation Statement dated August 8, 2001, an affiliate of CGS purchased 5,572 units in Sierra Pacific Development Fund – II from affiliates of Everest Trust for a purchase of $1,150,000 or $206.39 per unit. In connection with the purchase, Everest entered into a standstill agreement for a five-year period covering the Sierra and Nooney funds and ASR following the closing of the Transaction. CGS and its affiliates own 13,490 units or 15.6% of the outstanding units in Sierra Pacific Development Fund – II and intend to vote these units for the Transaction.
On August 30, 2001, CGS transferred all of the membership interest in the entity which owns Villa Redondo Apartments to the Operating Partnership American Spectrum Realty, L.P., a subsidiary of American Spectrum Realty, Inc.
ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
AMERICAN SPECTRUM REALTY, INC.
(a) OVERVIEW
American Spectrum Realty, Inc. (“ASR” or the “Company”) was established on August 8, 2000 to be the legal acquiror and registrant in a consolidation transaction whereby partners in existing related partnerships would trade partnership units for shares in this new public entity and owners of existing related entities would exchange ownership interests for units in an operating partnership that will be formed and will initially be wholly owned by the Company. ASR is a wholly owned subsidiary of CGS Real Estate Company, Inc. ASR will (subject to approval) acquire eight public limited partnerships, two private entities and, on a carve-out basis CGS and the Majority-Owned Affiliates. The accounting acquirer in this transaction will be one of the eight public limited partnerships (Sierra Pacific Pension Investors `84). These events are collectively referred to as the “Transaction”.
CGS includes CGS Real Estate Company, Inc. and various other entities and properties involved in real estate development, management, ownership and operation. CGS’ operations are located principally in the Midwestern and Western United States. CGS’ properties consist of 16 office, office/warehouse, apartment and shopping centers and one parcel of vacant land.
ASR will be a full-service real estate corporation. The Company’s primary business will be the ownership of office, office/warehouse, apartments and shopping center properties. The public limited partnerships own 18 office/warehouse and apartment properties. If all of the public limited partnerships approve the Transaction, ASR will initially own 34 properties. The Company plans to expand its business by acquiring additional properties. The Company will focus primarily on office, office/warehouse and apartment properties located in the Midwestern and western United States. ASR intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust (REIT) in 2003.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements of ASR, including the respective notes thereto, which are included in this Form 10-Q. This Form 10-Q also includes the Financial Statements, notes, and corresponding Management’s Discussion and Analysis for Sierra Pacific Pension Investors ’84 and CGS as of June 30, 2001.
(b) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company was only recently incorporated on August 8, 2000. Therefore, a discussion comparing operating results with the corresponding periods in the prior year are not meaningful.
The major activity affecting ASR’s books and records during the period from inception to June 30, 2001 were costs related to the Transaction. Costs that were incremental, directly attributable to the Transaction, and paid to third party vendors were capitalized as transaction costs. These costs will be charged to equity upon successful completion of the Transaction as a cost of issuing securities or debt respectively, depending upon the outcome of the shareholders’ vote. Until this Transaction occurs, the Company will be dependent upon CGS to fund its operations.
The Company is currently a shell entity; however, on August 30, 2001, CGS transferred all of the membership interest in the entity which owns Villa Redondo Apartments to the Operating Partnership American Spectrum Realty, L.P., a subsidiary of American Spectrum Realty, Inc. No revenues were generated for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2001.
Total expenses for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2001 were $433,035 and $133,551, respectively. These expenses primarily consisted of general and administrative expenses, which were not directly attributable to the Transaction. General and administrative expenses for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2001 totaled $422,091 and $128,378, respectively. Also included in total expenses for the six and three months ended June 30, 2001 were depreciation expenses of $10,944 and $5,173, respectively.
(c) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company had no cash at June 30, 2001 and is not currently generating revenue. Until the Transaction occurs, the Company will be dependent upon CGS to fund its operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company borrowed $1,390,552 from affiliates. These notes payable are payable to three of the public limited partnerships and are guaranteed by CGS, the general partner of the limited partnerships and parent company of ASR. These funds were primarily used to pay for costs directly attributable to the Transaction, which are capitalized as transaction costs on the balance sheet.
Inflation:
The Company does not expect inflation to be a material factor in its operations in 2001.
SIERRA PACIFIC PENSION INVESTORS ‘84
(a) OVERVIEW
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Sierra Pacific Pension Investors ‘84’s (the Partnership) Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.
The Partnership currently owns one property, Sierra Valencia (the Property). In addition, the Partnership holds an 80.32% interest in Sierra Mira Mesa Partners (SMMP), which is maintained on the equity method of accounting.
(b) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Rental income for the six months ended June 30, 2001 increased by approximately $58,000, or 21%, in comparison to the corresponding period in the prior year, primarily as a result of an increase in occupancy at the Property. Occupancy rose from 84% at June 30, 2000 to 100% at June 30, 2001, as one tenant expanded its lease from approximately 10,000 to 21,000 square feet.
Operating expenses increased by approximately $54,000, or 25%, for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was in large part due to higher maintenance and repair costs and management fees associated with the increased occupancy of the Property. Further, data processing, accounting and auditing, and insurance costs rose during the period. Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2001 increased by approximately $29,000 or 34%, principally due to, among other factors, higher data processing, insurance, and management fees incurred during the quarter.
Depreciation and amortization expenses for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2001 rose by approximately $27,000, or 37%, and by approximately $17,000, or 44%, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2000, primarily due to increased depreciation and amortization on additional tenant improvements and lease costs associated with the increased occupancy of the Property.
The Partnership’s share of unconsolidated joint venture income decreased by approximately $24,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001, in comparison to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in income generated by SMMP was primarily due to, among other factors, an increase in utilities associated with higher energy costs and an increase in depreciation expense as a result of additional capitalized tenant improvements at the Sierra Mira Mesa property. SMMP decrease in income was in large part offset by the recovery of rents previously written-off to bad debt. During the quarter ended June 30, 2001, the Partnership’s share of unconsolidated joint venture income increased by approximately $124,000 principally due to SMMP rent recoveries.
(c) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2001, the Partnership is in an illiquid position. Total cash and billed receivables amount to approximately $38,000 compared to approximately $99,000 in current liabilities. Cash of approximately $96,000 was used in operating activities and approximately $65,000 was paid for property additions and lease costs during the six months ended June 20, 2001. The Partnership loaned approximately $191,000 to an affiliate in 2001 relating to the pending consolidation transaction discussed in Note 5 of the financial statements.
The Partnership anticipates cash required to meet debt obligations, operating expenses and costs for the construction of new tenant space will be funded from the operations of the Property and distributions from SMMP. During the six months ended June 30, 2001, SMMP made distributions of $334,000 to the Partnership.
Inflation:
The Partnership does not expect inflation to be a material factor in its operations in 2001.
CGS AND THE MAJORITY OWNED AFFILIATES
(a) OVERVIEW
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the CGS and the Majority-Owned Affiliates (the Company) Combined Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
(b) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the Six Months and Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 to the Six Months and Three Months Ended June 30, 2000, respectively.
Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2001 decreased by $481,000 or 3.7% to $12,682,000 as compared to $13,163,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2001 decreased by $1,418,000 or 17.8% to $6,541,000 as compared to $7,959,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000.
Revenue from property management operations decreased by $1,483,000 or 33.0% to $3,009,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $4,492,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Revenue from property management operations decreased by $2,004,000 or 54.6% to $1,664,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $3,668,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000.
Revenue from property management operations decreased, for the six and three months period ended June 30, 2001, due to the discontinuance of operations in California and Arizona in the first quarter of 2001 and the decrease in property management revenues in three other management companies. The decrease in property management operations resulted from the Company’s decision to wind down its involvement in third party brokerage and property management services.
Rental income for the six months ended June 30, 2001 increased by $1,201,000 or 15.6% to $8,909,000 as compared to $7,708,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Rental income for the three months ended June 30, 2001 increased by $731,000 or 19.2% to $4,545,000 as compared to $3,814,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000. The increase in rental income resulted primarily from new tenants moving into the recently remodeled Northwest Corporate Center, higher market rental rates and an increase in overall occupancy resulting from higher demand.

Because CGS and the Majority-Owned Affiliates will perform no third party management services, all ongoing revenues will be derived from rental income. Substantially all such revenues are earned pursuant to fixed rent commitments since percentage rent income is immaterial. Rental income, as a percentage of total revenues, has increased due to the increased occupancy and rent levels and the declining role of third party management and brokerage activities.
Total expenses excluding interest for the six months ended June 30, 2001 increased by $2,149,000 or 21.2% to $12,279,000 as compared to $10,130,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Total expenses excluding interest for the three months ended June 30, 2001 increased by $1,077,000 or 18.5% to $6,903,000 as compared to $5,826,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000.
Expenses excluding interest, impairment charges, depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2001 increased by $1,740,000 or 20.7% to $10,147,000 as compared to $8,407,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Expenses excluding interest, impairment charges, depreciation and amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2001 increased by $892,000 or 17.7% to $5,937,000 as compared to $5,045,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000.
Expenses, excluding interest, impairment charges, depreciation and amortization, as a percentage of total revenues, increased from 63.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to 80.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Expenses, excluding interest, impairment charges, depreciation and amortization, as a percentage of total revenues, increased from 63.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to 90.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2001.

The increase in property operating and maintenance, as a percentage of revenues, is a result of the increase in bad debt expense associated with the write-off of several uncollectable receivables.
Interest expense increased by $10,000 or 0.2%, to $6,445,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $6,435,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Interest expense decreased by $121,000 or 3.4%, to $3,474,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $3,595,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000. The decrease was attributed to lower interest rates and the refinancing of several loans with more favorable terms.
Net loss increased by $2,200,000 or 55.9%, to $6,135,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $3,935,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000, primarily due to a gain on sale of property ($1,328,000) in 2000 that did not recur in 2001. Net loss increased by $855,000 or 26.8%, to $4,043,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $3,188,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000, primarily due to the additional interest expense on the participating loans and the accrual of taxes during the period.
(c) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2001, the Company is in an illiquid position. Total cash and billed receivables amount to approximately $2,800,000 compared to approximately $7,600,000 in current liabilities. We will need to obtain additional cash through a combination of shareholder contributions and refinancing of properties.
As of June 30, 2001, CGS and the Majority-Owned Affiliates had cash balances totaling $1,354,000. Cash and cash equivalents on hand as of June 30, 2001, decreased $433,000 when compared to the year ended December 31, 2000. We expect this level of cash flow to increase in the short and long term due to the renewal of leases at the current market rates which exceed historical lease rates, lease-up of two rehabilitation projects (Northwest Corporate Center and Autumn Ridge), and the refinancing of several properties.
During the six month period ended June 30, 2001, capital additions were made in the amount of $3,369,590 and payments were made on mortgage notes in the amount of $1,860,500. CGS and the Majority-Owned Affiliates plan to maintain adequate cash reserves and fund capital expenditures during the remainder of 2001. Major capital expenditures and tenant alterations will partly be funded by cash reserves held by lenders for such improvements pursuant to the terms of existing and new loan agreements.
The capital expenditures by property anticipated for the remainder of 2001 are as follows:
Major Capital | Tenant | Lease | Total | |||||||||
Expenditures | Alterations | Commissions | Capital | |||||||||
7700 Irvine Center Drive | $ | 122,000 | $ | 4,000 | $ | 90,000 | $ | 216,000 | ||||

Total | $ | 2,907,000 | $ | 1,223,000 | $ | 550,000 | $ | 4,680,000 | ||||
The future liquidity of the Company is dependent on its ability to fund future capital expenditures and mortgage payments from operation and cash reserves, maintain occupancy, and negotiate with lenders the refinancing of the mortgage debt as it matures.
Inflation:
The Company does not expect inflation to be a material factor in its operations in 2001.
ITEM 3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the exposure or loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. ASR’s exposure to market risk at June 30, 2001 was limited it had no floating rate debt or holdings of derivative financial or commodity instruments. The primary market risk to which ASR will be exposed to upon completion of the Transaction is interest rate risk, which is sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors that are beyond its control.
Sierra Pacific Pension Investors ’84’s exposure to market risk at June 30, 2001 was limited as it had no floating rate debt or holdings of derivative financial or commodity instruments.
