(A California Limited Partnership) MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION JUNE 30, 1996 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Partnership's current assets of $326,129 exceed its current liabilities of $99,341 by $226,788. This excess of current assets over current liabilities is less than the $297,050 operating reserve requirement in the Partnership Agreement. The decline in operating reserve is attributable to the Partnership's payments 1995 and 1996 of $275,000 in payments against principal on the Bakersfield motel note. As discussed in the Partnership's previous reports on Forms 10-Q and Forms 10-K, the General Partners had intended to accumulate a sinking fund to pay the existing Bakersfield loan balloon payment due in September 1997. The General Partners have since decided instead to make the planned sinking fund deposits directly to the mortgage in the form of additional periodic principal payments, thus saving on interest expense. The General Partners have also decided to suspend quarterly distributions to the Limited Partners in order to apply the available funds to extra principal payments. The Partnership has no major commitments for capital expenditures. The Partnership has a replacement and renovation target equal to 3% of guest room revenue. During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership expended $42,474 in such expenditures which is equal to 4.4% of guest room revenue. Included in the total expenditures for renovations and replacements was $21,900 for a major parking lot refurbishment at the Bakersfield motel and $10,767 in new computer systems. The General Partners anticipate that renovation and repair expenditures will not exceed 3% of guest room revenue during the current fiscal year. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following is a comparison of the first six months of the fiscal year ending December 31, 1996 with the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal year. Total revenues decreased $84,454 (or 10.3%) for the six month period as compared to the previous fiscal year. The decrease in total revenue was due to a $87,326 (or 10.9%) decrease in room revenue. Motel occupancy decreased from 75.3% to 69.5%, while the average room rate declined from $34.45 to $33.19. The reduction in guest room revenue occurred primarily at the Partnership's San Bernardino motel and was due to reduced patronage in the corporate and leisure market segments. According to various lodging industry publications, the San Bernardino market is the worst performing market in the country. The Partnership's expenses increased by $2,313 or 0.3%. The Partnership experienced an $21,118 increase in renovation and replacement expense due to the parking lot repairs which was offset by decreased motel operating expenses due to the lower occupancy and by decreased interest expense as the mortgage note balanced is reduced. -7- SUPER 8 MOTELS III, LTD. (A California Limited Partnership) MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION (Continued) JUNE 30, 1996 FUTURE TRENDS The General Partners expect that overall occupancy for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1996 will be equal to or less than that achieved in 1995. The General Partners expect income for the current fiscal year to be less than the previous fiscal year. Expenses are subject to both cost inflation and to the deferred maintenance associated with the effects of high occupancy in previous years. The net effect should be net income less than the previous fiscal year. 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. -8- PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ---------------------------- Item 1. Legal Proceedings ----------------- None Item 2.
