The Partnership has incurred recurring operating losses and continues to suffer from inadequate liquidity. In addition, the Partnership is in default on a portion of its mortgage notes payable and does not generate sufficient cash flows to meet current debt-service requirements on its subordinated debt. The Partnership incurred an operating loss of approximately $219,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998, and Angeles Realty Corporation (the "General Partner") expects this trend to continue. The Partnership realized net cash from operations of approximately $190,000; however, interest of approximately $119,000 was accrued during the three months ended March 31, 1998 on a note payable and on the second mortgage securing one of the Partnership's investment properties. The Partnership's second mortgage to Angeles Mortgage Investment Trust ("AMIT") in the amount of $1,350,000 plus accrued interest, which is secured by Bercado Shores Apartments, has been in default since 1993 due to nonpayment of interest and the maturity of the note in 1995. This indebtedness is recourse to the Partnership and the estimated fair value of this property is less than the total of its first and second mortgages. Since the default in March of 1993, AMIT has not indicated its intent to pursue its available remedies under the mortgage agreement; however, this property remains subject to foreclosure under the terms of the second mortgage agreement. The Partnership has initiated discussions with AMIT and hopes to negotiate a work-out, however there can be no assurance that the Partnership's negotiations will prove successful. The Partnership's note payable of approximately $538,000, including accrued interest, due to Angeles Acceptance Pool, L.P. ("AAP") matured in November of 1997. The Partnership is currently in negotiations with the lender and hopes to either extend this note or settle the liability at a reduced amount. There can be no assurance that these negotiations with the lenders will be successful. No other sources of additional financing are apparent and the General Partner currently has not developed alternative plans to remedy the liquidity problems the Partnership is currently experiencing. The General Partner anticipates that Brittany Point will generate sufficient cash flows for the next twelve months to meet its operating expenses, debt service requirements and to fund capital expenditures. The General Partner anticipates that Bercado Shores will generate sufficient cash flows for the next twelve months to cover its operating expenditures, however it is not expected to be able to completely fund desired capital expenditures or to pay its scheduled debt service on its second mortgage to AMIT. The Partnership's plan is to fund these items to the extent of available cash flow. The Partnership will fund its administrative expenses for the next twelve months by using cash on hand at March 31, 1998, and cash flow generated during 1998. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from this uncertainty. NOTE B - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the General Partner, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 information to conform to the 1998 presentation. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements of the Partnership include its 99% limited partnership interests in Brittany Point AP VIII, L.P. and Brittany Point GP, L.P. The Partnership may remove the General Partner of Brittany Point AP VIII, L.P. and Brittany Point GP, L.P.; therefore, these partnerships are controlled and consolidated by the Partnership. All significant interpartnership balances have been eliminated. NOTE C - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED PARTIES The General Partner is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MAE GP Corporation ("MAE GP"). Effective February 25, 1998, MAE GP was merged into Insignia Properties Trust ("IPT"), which is an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia"). Thus, the General Partner is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of IPT. The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the General Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all partnership activities. The Partnership Agreement provides for certain payments to affiliates of the General Partner for services and as reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership. The following payments were paid or accrued to the General Partner and its affiliates during the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively: 1998 1997 (in thousands) Property management fees, included in $49 $47 operating expenses Reimbursement for services of affiliates (including $3,000 and $4,000 of reimbursements for construction over- sight costs in 1998 and 1997, respectively), included in operating and general and administrative expenses 29 29 For the period of January 1, 1997 to August 31, 1997, the Partnership insured its properties under a master policy through an agency affiliated with the General Partner with an insurer unaffiliated with the General Partner. An affiliate of the General Partner acquired, in the acquisition of a business, certain financial obligations from an insurance agency which was later acquired by the agent who placed the master policy. The agent assumed the financial obligations to the affiliate of the General Partner, which received payment on these obligations from the agent. The amount of the Partnership's insurance premiums accruing to the benefit of the affiliate of the General Partner by virtue of the agent's obligation was not significant. AMIT currently provides secondary financing on the Partnership's investment properties. Total indebtedness was approximately $2,920,000 at March 31, 1998, of which $1,350,000 was in default at March 31, 1998 (see "Note A"). Total interest expense related to this debt was approximately $170,000 and $150,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Accrued interest related to this debt was approximately $1,869,000 and $1,417,000 at March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. In November 1992, MAE GP acquired 1,675,113 Class B Common Shares of AMIT. The terms of the Class B Shares provide that they are convertible, in whole or in part, into Class A Common Shares on the basis of 1 Class A Share for every 49 Class B Shares (however, in connection with the settlement agreement described in the following paragraph, MAE GP has agreed not to convert the Class B Shares so long as AMIT's option is outstanding). These Class B Shares entitle the holder to receive 1% of the distributions of net cash distributed by AMIT (however, in connection with the settlement agreement described in the following paragraph, MAE GP agreed to waive its right to receive dividends and distributions so long as AMIT's option is outstanding). The holder of the Class B Shares is also entitled to vote on the same basis as the holders of Class A Shares, providing the holder with approximately 39% of the total voting power of AMIT (unless and until converted to Class A Shares, in which case the percentage of the vote controlled represented by such shares would approximate 1.3% of the total voting power of AMIT). As part of a settlement of certain disputes with AMIT, MAE GP granted to AMIT an option to acquire the Class B Shares owned by it. This option can be exercised at the end of 10 years or when all loans made by AMIT to partnerships which were affiliated with MAE GP as of November 9, 1994 (which is the date of execution of a definitive Settlement Agreement) have been paid in full. In connection with such settlement, AMIT delivered to MAE GP cash in the sum of $250,000 at closing (which occurred April 14, 1995) as payment for the option. If and when the option is exercised, AMIT will be required to remit to MAE GP an additional $94,000. Simultaneously with the execution of the option and as part of the settlement, MAE GP also executed an irrevocable proxy in favor of AMIT, which provides that the holder of the Class B Shares is permitted to vote those shares on all matters except those involving transactions between AMIT and MAE GP affiliated borrowers or the election of any MAE GP affiliate as an officer or trustee of AMIT. With respect to such matters, the trustees of AMIT are required to vote (pursuant to the irrevocable proxy) the Class B Shares (as a single block) in the same manner as a majority of the Class A Shares are voted (to be determined without consideration of the votes of "Excess Class A Shares" (as defined in Section 6.13 of AMIT's Declaration of Trust)). Between its acquisition of the Class B Shares (in November 1992) and March 31, 1995, MAE GP declined to vote these shares. Since that date, MAE GP voted its shares at the 1995 and 1996 annual meetings in connection with the election of trustees and other matters. In February 1998, MAE GP was merged into IPT, and in connection with that merger, MAE GP dividended all of the Class B Shares to its sole stockholder, Metropolitan Asset Enhancement, L.P. ("MAE"). As a result, MAE, as the holder of the Class B Shares, is now subject to the terms of the settlement agreement, option and irrevocable proxy described in the two preceding paragraphs. Neither MAE GP nor MAE has exerted and intends to exert any management control over or participate in the management of AMIT. However, subject to the terms of the proxy described below, MAE may choose to vote the Class B Shares as it deems appropriate in the future. Liquidity Assistance L.L.C., which is an affiliate of the General Partner, MAE and Insignia (which provides property management and partnership administration services to the Partnership), owned 96,800 Class A Shares of AMIT at March 31, 1998. These Class A Shares represent approximately 2.2% of the total voting power of AMIT. On April 3, 1997, Insignia and AMIT entered into a non-binding agreement in principle contemplating, among other things, a business combination of AMIT and IPT, an entity then owned 98% by Insignia and its affiliates. On July 18, 1997, IPT, Insignia and MAE GP entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which (subject to shareholder approval and certain other conditions, including the receipt by AMIT of a fairness opinion from its investment bankers) AMIT would be merged with and into IPT, with each Class A Share and Class B Share being converted into 1.625 and 0.0332 Common Shares of IPT, respectively. The foregoing exchange ratios are subject to adjustment to account for dividends paid by AMIT from January 1, 1997 and dividends paid by IPT from February 1, 1997. It is anticipated that Insignia and its affiliates (including MAE) would own approximately 57% of post-merger IPT when this transaction is consummated. In November 1992, AAP, a Delaware limited partnership which now controls the working capital loan previously provided by Angeles Capital Investment, Inc. ("ACII"), was organized. Angeles Corporation ("Angeles") is the 99% limited partner of AAP and Angeles Acceptance Directives, Inc.("AAD"), which is wholly- owned by IPT, was, until April 14, 1995, the 1% general partner of AAP. On April 14, 1995, as part of a settlement of claims between affiliates of the General Partner and Angeles, AAD resigned as general partner of AAP and simultaneously received a .5% limited partner interest in AAP. An affiliate of Angeles now serves as the general partner of AAP. Total indebtedness, which is included in notes payable, was approximately $371,000 at March 31, 1998, with interest accruing monthly at prime plus 0.75% (9.25% at March 31, 1998). Total interest expense for this loan was approximately $9,000 and $8,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Total accrued interest for this loan was approximately $168,000 at March 31, 1998. On March 17, 1998, Insignia entered into an agreement to merge its national residential property management operations, and its controlling interest in IPT, with Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust. The closing, which is anticipated to happen in the third quarter of 1998, is subject to customary conditions, including government approvals and the approval of Insignia's shareholders. If the closing occurs, AIMCO will then control the General Partner of the Partnership. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION The Partnership's investment properties consist of two apartment complexes. The following table sets forth the average occupancy of the properties for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997: Average Occupancy 1998 1997 Bercado Shores Apartments Mishawaka, Indiana 93% 87% Brittany Point Apartments Huntsville, Alabama 91% 93% Occupancy at Bercado Shores increased at March 31, 1998 as compared to March 31, 1997 due to a change in the rental strategy of management. In the winter of 1996-1997, rents were increased at a time when there is not much marketability in the Mishawaka, Indiana area, resulting in move outs. Rents were then lowered and occupancy has gradually increased during the last twelve months to its current rate. Results of Operations The Partnership realized a net loss of approximately $219,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998, compared to a net loss of approximately $215,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Total revenues increased slightly as did total expenses. An increase in rental income offset by increases in operating and interest expenses were the primary variations. Rental income increased as a result of rental rate increases at both of the Partnership's investment properties and an increase in occupancy at Bercado Shores Apartments. These increases in rental income were partially offset by a decline in occupancy at Brittany Point Apartments. Operating expense increased due to increases in salaries and other property expenses at both of the Partnership's investment properties and due to an increase in tax services related to a successful tax appeal on behalf of the Bercado Shores Apartment property. Interest expense increased over the same period in 1997 due to increased default interest charged on the second mortgage note secured by Bercado Shores (see discussion of AMIT note below). Included in operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 1998 is approximately $36,000 of major repairs and maintenance comprised primarily of gutter repairs and exterior building improvements. For the three months ended March 31, 1997, approximately $41,000 of major repairs and maintenance comprised primarily of gutter and swimming pool repairs are included in operating expense. As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the General Partner monitors the rental market environment of each of its investment properties to assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in expenses. As part of this plan, the General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from the burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a high overall occupancy level. However, due to changing market conditions, which can result in the use of rental concessions and rental reductions to offset softening market conditions, there is no guarantee that the General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Partnership held cash and cash equivalents of approximately $378,000 at March 31, 1998 compared to approximately $320,000 at March 31, 1997. The net increase in cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 was $50,000 and $127,000, respectively. While net cash provided by operating activities remained relatively consistent, net cash used in investing activities increased due to an increase in property improvements and replacements primarily at Brittany Point Apartments. Net cash used in financing activities increased due to increased payments on notes payable. No distributions were made by the Partnership during the first quarter of 1998 or 1997 nor are any anticipated in the near-term. The Partnership's second mortgage to Angeles Mortgage Investment Trust ("AMIT") in the amount of $1,350,000 plus accrued interest, which is secured by Bercado Shores Apartments, has been in default since 1993 due to nonpayment of interest and the maturity of the note in 1995. This indebtedness is recourse to the Partnership and the estimated fair value of this property is less than the total of its first and second mortgages. Since the default in March of 1993, AMIT has not indicated its intent to pursue its available remedies under the mortgage agreement; however, this property remains subject to foreclosure under the terms of the second mortgage agreement. The Partnership has initiated discussions with AMIT and hopes to negotiate a work-out, however there can be no assurance that the Partnership's negotiations will prove successful. The Partnership's note payable and accrued interest of approximately $538,000 due to Angeles Acceptance Pool, L.P. ("AAP") matured in November of 1997. The Partnership is currently in negotiations with the lender and hopes to either extend this note or settle the liability at a reduced amount. There can be no assurance that these negotiations with the lenders will be successful. No other sources of additional financing are apparent and the General Partner currently has not developed alternative plans to remedy the liquidity problems the Partnership is currently experiencing. Year 2000 The Partnership is dependent upon the General Partner and Insignia for management and administrative services. Insignia has completed an assessment and will have to modify or replace portions of its software so that its computer systems will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and thereafter (the "Year 2000 Issue"). The project is estimated to be completed not later than December 31, 1998, which is prior to any anticipated impact on its operating systems. The General Partner believes that with modifications to existing software and conversions to new software, the Year 2000 Issue will not pose significant operational problems for its computer systems. However, if such modifications and conversions are not made, or are not completed timely, the Year 2000 Issue could have a material impact on the operations of the Partnership. Other Certain items discussed in this quarterly report may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Reform Act") and as such may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Partnership to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward- looking statements. Such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this quarterly report. The Partnership expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Partnership's expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the Partnership commenced an action entitled ROSALIE NUANES, ET AL. V. INSIGNIA FINANCIAL GROUP, INC., ET AL. in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo. The plaintiffs named as defendants, among others, the Partnership, the General Partner and several of their affiliated partnerships and corporate entities. The complaint purports to assert claims on behalf of a class of limited partners and derivatively on behalf of a number of limited partnerships (including the Partnership) which are named as nominal defendants, challenging the acquisition by Insignia and its affiliates of interests in certain general partner entities, past tender offers by Insignia affiliates to acquire limited partnership units, the management of partnerships by Insignia affiliates as well as a recently announced agreement between Insignia and AIMCO. The complaint seeks monetary damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership. The General Partner was only recently served with the complaint which it believes to be without merit, and intends to vigorously defend the action. The General Partner is unaware of any other pending or outstanding litigation that is not of a routine nature. The General Partner believes that all such other matters will be resolved without a material adverse effect upon the Partnership's financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. ITEM 6.
