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 Shelter Realty I Corporation (the "Corporate General Partner"), all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1997. 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, 1996. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996 information to conform to the 1997 presentation. NOTE B - RECONCILIATION OF CASH FLOWS The following is a reconciliation of the subtotal on the accompanying statements of cash flows captioned "net cash provided by operating activities" to "net cash used in operations," as defined in the partnership agreement. However, "net cash used in operations" should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Partnership's operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Six Months Ended June 30, (in thousands) 1997 1996 Net cash provided by operating activities $ 690 $ 667 Payments on mortgage notes payable (62) (193) Property improvements and replacements (194) (117) Change in restricted escrows, net (97) (25) Changes in reserves for net operating liabilities (12) 59 Additional reserves (325) (391) Net cash used in operations $ -- $ -- In 1997 and 1996, the Corporate General Partner believed it to be in the best interest of the Partnership to reserve an additional $325,000 and $391,000, respectively, to fund continuing capital improvements and maintenance items at the four properties. In addition to the capital improvements, the Corporate General Partner reserved additional amounts in 1996 for costs associated with the refinancings of Quail Hollow, Heritage Pointe and Stone Mountain West. NOTE C - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED PARTIES The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the Corporate General Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all partnership activities. The Partnership Agreement provides for payments to affiliates for services and as reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership. The following amounts were paid or accrued to the Corporate General Partner and affiliates in 1997 and 1996 (in thousands): Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 1996 Property management fees $123 $119 Reimbursement for services of affiliates 54 41 Due to general partners 101 101 The Partnership insures its properties under a master policy through an agency and insurer unaffiliated with the Corporate General Partner. An affiliate of the Corporate 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 current year's master policy. The current agent assumed the financial obligations to the affiliate of the Corporate General Partner, who receives payments on these obligations from the agent. The amount of the Partnership's insurance premiums accruing to the benefit of the affiliate of the Corporate General Partner by virtue of the agent's obligations is not significant. NOTE D - MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE On November 13, 1996, the Partnership refinanced the mortgage notes at Quail Hollow, Heritage Pointe, and Stone Mountain West. Of the $7,250,000 gross proceeds, approximately $5,232,000 of proceeds were used to pay off the old mortgage debts at the refinanced properties. The old mortgage debt had interest rates ranging from 8.00% to 9.36% with maturity dates ranging from April 5, 2004, to May 1, 2006. All three notes require monthly interest only payments at a stated interest rate of 7.33%, and have balloon payments due November 1, 2003. As a result of the refinancings, the Partnership recorded an extraordinary loss of approximately $549,000. The extraordinary loss was primarily composed of write-offs of unamortized loan costs and mortgage discounts, as well as pre- payment penalties incurred due to the early payoffs of the old mortgages. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION The Partnership's investment properties consists of four apartment complexes. The following table sets forth the average occupancy of the properties for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996: Average Occupancy Property 1997 1996 Quail Hollow Apartments West Columbia, South Carolina 91% 97% Windsor Hills Apartments Blacksburg, Virginia 95% 95% Heritage Pointe Apartments (Formerly Rome Georgian Apartments) Rome, Georgia 89% 85% Stone Mountain West Apartments Stone Mountain, Georgia 97% 97% The Corporate General Partner attributes the decrease in occupancy at Quail Hollow Apartments to an increase in the number of residents moving out to buy or build homes in the area. The Corporate General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at Heritage Pointe to management's efforts to reposition the tenant base. Management has improved the appearance of the property and has increased resident qualification standards in order to reduce fluctuations in occupancy, repairs, and delinquencies normally associated with college tenants. The Partnership's net income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, was approximately $119,000 and $329,000, respectively, compared to net income of approximately $108,000 and $313,000, respectively, for the same periods of 1996. The increase in net income is primarily due to increases in rental income and interest income. Rental income increased due to increases in rental rates at Stone Mountain West and Windsor Hills Apartments, which were only partially offset by a decrease in occupancy at Quail Hollow Apartments. Interest income increased due to an increase in interest rates as well as an increase in the cash balances earning interest. The increase in net income was partially offset by an increase in operating expenses and maintenance expenses. The increase in operating expenses is primarily due to an increase in courtesy patrol expense and payroll expenses. The increase in courtesy patrol expense is due to the monthly monitoring charge for the alarms in each apartment as well as the office at Stone Mountain West Apartments. The increase in payroll expense is due to the hiring of a maintenance technician and full and part time leasing agents in the current year at Heritage Pointe. The increase in maintenance expense is primarily due to the installation of more efficient plumbing fixtures at Windsor Hills and the installation of moisture barriers under several buildings at Heritage Pointe. Other income increased for the three months ended June 30, 1997 due to additional tenant charges at Windsor Hills and Quail Hollow Apartments. General and administrative expense increased for the three months ended June 30, 1997 due to the timing of audit accruals. Included in maintenance expense in 1997 and 1996 is approximately $68,000 and $48,000, respectively, of major repairs and maintenance comprised of exterior building improvements, major landscaping, golf carts and window coverings. As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the Corporate General Partner monitors the rental market environments 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 Corporate 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 Corporate General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan. At June 30, 1997, the Partnership reported unrestricted cash of approximately $1,862,000 compared to approximately $1,350,000 at June 30, 1996. Net cash provided by operating activities increased primarily as a result of an increase in accounts payable and the increases in net income as discussed above. Accounts payable increased due to the timing of payments to vendors. Offsetting this increase is a decrease in net cash related to the change in accrued taxes due to the timing of tax payments. Net cash used in investing activities increased due to increases in property improvements and replacements and deposits to restricted escrows. The increase in deposits to restricted escrows is due to the increased requirement as a result of the 1996 refinancings of Quail Hollow, Heritage Pointe and Stone Mountain West, as discussed in Note D - Mortgage Notes Payable. Net cash used in financing activities increased as a result of an increase in distributions to partners. As required by the 1996 refinancings of Quail Hollow, Heritage Pointe and Stone Mountain West, certain capital improvements and maintenance will be performed in 1997. These projects include repaving and restriping the parking lots, resurfacing the pools, exterior painting, floor covering replacement, appliance replacement and various ADA conversions. These projects will be funded out of the capital reserve accounts. The Partnership has no material capital programs scheduled to be performed in 1997 at Windsor Hills, although certain routine capital and maintenance expenditures have been budgeted. These expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations or reserves. The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital expenditures required at the property to adequately maintain the physical assets and other operating needs of the Partnership. Such assets are currently thought to be sufficient for any near-term needs of the partnership. The mortgage indebtedness of approximately $11,517,000, net of discount, is amortized over varying periods with required balloon payments ranging from November 15, 2002 to November 1, 2003, at which time the individual properties will either be refinanced or sold. During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Partnership made a distribution of approximately $1,250,000. In addition, withholding taxes in the amount of approximately $8,000 were paid on behalf of the partners to the State of South Carolina. During the six months ended June 30, 1996, distributions in the amount of approximately $5,000 were paid on behalf of the partners to the State of South Carolina related to the taxable income generated by Quail Hollow in 1995. The Managing General Partner anticipates making a distribution in the third quarter of 1997. Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations, property sales and the availability of cash reserves. ITEM 6.
