(A California Limited Partnership) MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION DECEMBER 31, 1996 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- The Partnership's current assets of $940,585 exceeded its current liabilities of $88,920 providing an operating reserve of $851,655, which is greater than the $455,000 target set by the General Partners. 	 In the unlikely event that the Partnership's reserves do not meet operating needs, the Partnership's Pleasanton, California motel will provide substantial collateral against additional debt. The Partnership has no material commitments for capital expenditures. The Partnership's guideline for replacements and renovation expenditures is approximately 3% of room revenues. Applicable expenditures during the first three months of the fiscal year which will end on September 30, 1997, were $21,975 or 5.1% of room revenues. Expenditures of this type are not expected to exceed the General Partners' 3% guideline on a yearly basis. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- The following is a comparison of operating results for the three month periods ended December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995. Total revenues increased $70,399 or 18.6%. Guest room revenue increased $64,038 or 17.6% for the current period due to an increase in the occupancy rate to 76.3% (as compared with 71.0% for the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal year) and an increase in average room rate from $54.48 in 1995 to $59.71 in 1996 for the comparative periods. Total expenditures increased $29,830 or 11.8% during the three months covered by this report as compared to the previous fiscal year. The expenditure increase is associated with the improved occupancy. FUTURE TRENDS - ------------- The General Partners expect the Pleasanton motel to continue its improved performance if the current improvement in the general economic climate continues. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments which were necessary to a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. - 7 - PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ---------------------------- Item 1. Legal Proceedings ----------------- None Item 2.
