To Our Partners:
Please excuse our delay in sending additional information for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 to you.
During the quarter, we achieved what we had long sought to achieve --
the sale of the Partnership's last property. We are pleased to have
achieved that milestone, as the market conditions in downtown Lakeland,
until recently, seemed to make it an impossible task. We are also
pleased to know that the renovation of the Partnership's former property
will further the revitalization of Lakeland and benefit its people.
As a result of operations, the Partnership had an operating loss for the
quarter of $74,162, which compared to a year prior loss of $68,216. As
a result of operations and the sale, the Partnership had net income of
$4,983,310. More detailed information was contained in the special
report we sent to you before the sale and is contained in the statements
accompanying this report.
Since the time we sent our special report and distribution, several
partners have contacted us with inquiries as to the prospective tax
treatment of the sale. For that reason, we asked the Partnership's
accountants to include a note entitled "1998 Preliminary Income Tax
Information" with the statements. We believe that note, with your own
records, should allow you to plan for taxes now. We will, of course,
send detailed year-end information to you.
On a personal note, we wish to extend our thanks to those of you who
have called or written to offer a congratulatory note. Your
thoughtfulness was and is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Robert A. Kuras Shirley K. Debelack
