NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CENTURY REALTY TRUST Unaudited NOTE 1 - REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS On March 31, 1995, the Trust purchased the Fox Run Apartments, a 256-unit garden apartment property in Indianapolis, Indiana. The purchase price was $6.9 million including prorations and assumed liabilities of approximately $240,000. The balance of the purchase price consisted of a new 9.5%, 10-year first mortgage loan for $5.4 million from a bank, and 70,588 unregistered shares of beneficial interest valued at $600,000. To complete the purchase, the Trust, under a $1 million line of credit, borrowed approximately $700,000 from a bank which it repaid in May, 1996 with proceeds from refinancing other real estate. NOTE 2 - MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE Eight of the Trust's properties are encumbered by mortgage loans that are payable in monthly installments totaling approximately $170,000, including interest at rates ranging from 8.125% to 9.75% per annum, and which mature from October 4, 1996 to March 31, 2005. The approximate aggregate amount of scheduled mortgage loan repayments for each of the remaining quarters of 1996 are: third quarter, $78,600; and, fourth quarter, $81,000. A mortgage loan with a balance of $2 million will mature October 4, 1996 (extended from June 4, 1996). That loan provides for the payment of interest only at the lender's prime rate (currently 8.25%). The Trust intends to obtain a longer term loan on the mortgaged property on or before the maturity date in an amount sufficient to retire the present balance. NOTE 3 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES The Trust intends to continue as a real estate investment trust as defined in the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute its taxable income. Assuming compliance with other requirements of the Code, income distributed will not be taxable to the Trust. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is made in the financial statements. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS INVESTMENT ACTIVITY The changes in the financial condition of the Trust, and the results of its operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 resulted primarily from an investment property transaction in 1995. On March 31, 1995, the Trust purchased the Fox Run apartments, a 256-unit property in Indianapolis, Indiana for $6.9 million. Including the cost of certain improvements, the total acquisition cost was $7,036,000 ( $27,485 per unit). With the addition of Fox Run, the Trust increased the number of apartments it owns by 23% to 1,358 units and the number of apartment properties to nine, all of which are located in Indiana. FINANCING ACTIVITY The purchase of the Fox Run apartments in 1995 was financed by a combination of long-term and short-term loans. Approximately 75% of the purchase price was paid with proceeds of a new 9.5%, 10-year first mortgage loan. Short-term financing included approximately $700,000 borrowed from a bank under an unsecured line of credit, which the Trust repaid on May 16, 1996 with proceeds from refinancing one of its other properties. Also, in connection with the purchase of Fox Run, the Trust issued 70,588 unregistered shares of beneficial interest worth $600,000. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS For the first half of 1996, the Trust reported a 13.8% increase in rental income over the comparable 1995 period. Rental income derived from the Fox Run apartments during the first quarter of 1996, accounted for 77% of the increase. In spite of a $47,940 increase in the provision for depreciation, all of which related to the Fox Run apartments, reported net income increased by $86,878, or $.05 per share. Of the total increase in net income. $67,507 (78%) was due to improved operating results of the core properties (properties owned throughout the first half of 1996 and 1995). The Fox Run apartments acquired in 1995, and financing activities related thereto, accounted for an increase in net income of $19,371, or $.01 per share, after an increase in provision for depreciation of $48,000. The eight apartment properties (1,102 units) that the Trust owned throughout the first half of 1996 and 1995 experienced average six-month economic occupancy rates of 96.7% and 96.2% for the two periods, respectively. Average rental rates increased 2.7% for those properties over the prior year period. The combined effect of higher occupancy rates and higher rental rates resulted in a 3.2% increase in gross revenue from the core group of apartments. Operating expenses, excluding interest and depreciation, for the same properties amounted to 46.7% of gross possible income for the first half of 1996, up slightly from 46.6% for the prior year period, and amounted to an increase of 2.6% in total operating expenses. For the second quarter, net income of the Trust, as a whole, increased by $49,780, or 24.7%, over the comparable quarter of 1995. The increase resulted primarily from improved performance of the apartment properties. While economic occupancy remained steady at 96% during the second quarters of 1996 and 1995, rental rates increased by an average of 2.7%. Apartment operating expenses increased by 2% from the second quarter of 1995, to 46.9% of gross possible income. An eleven percent increase in the cost of utilities accounted for more than one-half of the total expense increase.				 For the Fox Run apartments, economic occupancy during the first half of 1996 averaged 95.5% and operating expenses, as a percent of gross possible income, amounted to 50.9%. For the second quarters of 1996 and 1995, economic occupancy rates were 95.8% and 93.8%, resectively, while operating expenses, as a percent of gross possible income, declined from 53.2% for the 1995 quarter to 50% for the 1996 quarter. During the nine months of 1995 that the Trust owned Fox Run economic occupancy averaged 95.6% and operating expenses amounted to 53.2% of gross possible income. Rental properties other than apartments, which accounted for 4% percent of total rental income in the first half of 1996, produced a 9.9% ($10,812) increase in net operating income compared with the prior year. Rental income, primarily on the strength of higher occupancy rates, was up $10,096, or 6.8%, while operating expenses decreased by 1.8%. For the second quarter of 1996, compared with the second quarter of 1995, a slight decrease in operating expenses was offset by a decrease in rental income. Due to investing and financing activities related to the purchase of Fox Run in 1995, interest expense was approximately $135,700 higher for the first half of 1996 than for the comparable half of the previous year. Interest expense related to loans outstanding throughout the first half of 1996 and 1995 declined by $8,800 due the scheduled reduction of loan balances, and $6,175 due to lower rates applicable to one variable-rate mortgage loan which provides for interest at the prime rate. The decrease in interest expense for the second quarter of 1996 compared with 1995, consisted of $4,400 due to the scheduled reduction of loan balances other than the Fox Run mortgage loan, $3,750 due to lower variable interest rates, and $12,250 resulting from the scheduled reduction in the Fox Run mortgage loan. 												 	 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY At June 30, 1996, the Trust held approximately $653,000 in cash, certificates of deposit and U.S. government agency securities. It is the policy of the Trust to invest funds in excess of immediate cash needs in FDIC-insured certificates of deposit and in securities issued by the U.S. government and agencies of the U.S. government. The Trust has no obligations, nor has it made any commitments, which will require expenditures in excess of funds anticipated to be provided by operations during the remainder of 1996. No transactions or events have occurred to indicate that funds provided by operations during the second half of 1996 will differ disproportionately from the first half of the year. The $2,000,000 variable rate mortgage loan which matures October 4, 1996, will be repaid with the proceeds of a new loan, with the same property presently encumbered serving as collateral. Management believes that the balance of the loan represents less than 60% of the market value of the property, and that the full amount will be refinanced. 	 The Trust intends to continue as a real estate investment trust, and to distribute all of its earnings. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes. The Trust has, since 1978, followed a practice of making cash distributions to its shareholders semi-annually in June and December each year. On July 26, 1996, the Board of Trustees announced a change in the frequency of dividend payments from semi-annually to quarterly, and declared a quarterly cash distribution of $.21 per share to be paid September 16, 1996 to shareholders of record August 16, 1996. In June, 1996, the Trust paid $.40 per share, and in December, 1995, $.40 per share. With 1,453,939 shares currently outstanding, the September, 1996, distribution will require the disbursement of $305,327. INFLATION Management believes that the direct effects of inflation on the Trust's operations have been insignificant. PART II Item 6(b). No events occurred during the three months ended June 30, 1996, which would have necessitated the filing of a report on Form 8K.
