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 ConCap Equities, Inc. ("General Partner"), all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1996. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1995. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 information to conform to the 1996 presentation. Limited Partnership Units The Partnership has issued two classes of Units, "A" Units and "B" Units. The two classes of Units are entitled to different rights and priorities as to cash distributions and partnership allocations. The Units represent economic rights attributable to the limited partnership interests in the Partnership and entitle the holders thereof ("Unitholders") to participate in certain allocations and distributions of the Partnership. NOTE B - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS 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 paid property management fees based upon collected gross rental revenues for property management services as noted below for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Such fees are included in operating expense on the consolidated statements of operations and are reflected in the following table. The Limited Partnership Agreement ("Agreement") provides for reimbursement to the General Partner and its affiliates for costs incurred in connection with the administration of Partnership activities. The General Partner and its current and former affiliates received reimbursements and fees as reflected in the following table: For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 1995 (in thousands) Property management fees $179 $170 Reimbursements for services of affiliates (1) 142 97 Partnership management fees (2) 41 33 (1) Included in "reimbursements for services of affiliates" for 1996 is approximately $51,000 in reimbursements for construction oversight costs. (2) The Agreement provides that a fee equal to 9% of distributable cash from operations (as defined in the Agreement) received by the limited partners be paid to the General Partner for executive and administrative management services. On July 1, 1995, the Partnership began insuring its properties under a master policy through an agency and 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 current agent assumed the financial obligations to the affiliate of the 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 General Partner by virtue of the agent's obligations is not significant. NOTE C - COMMITMENT The Partnership is required by the Agreement to maintain working capital reserves of not less than 5% of Net Invested Capital, as defined in the Agreement. In the event expenditures are made from this reserve, operating revenue shall be allocated to such reserve to the extent necessary to maintain the foregoing level. Reserves, including cash and cash equivalents and investments totaling approximately $1,224,000, exceeded the reserve requirement of approximately $754,000 at September 30, 1996. NOTE D - CASUALTY GAIN Shadow Brook Apartments experienced fire damage which destroyed twelve units and damaged twelve other units in 1995. At September 30, 1995, the fire resulted in a casualty gain of approximately $539,000. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION The Partnership's investment properties consist of three apartment complexes. The following table sets forth the average occupancy of the properties for each of the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995: Average Occupancy Property 1996 1995 Carlin Manor Apartments Columbus, Ohio 90% 85% Hunt Club Apartments Indianapolis, Indiana 95% 89% Shadow Brook Apartments West Valley City, Utah 98% 98% The General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at Carlin Manor Apartments and Hunt Club Apartments to the fact that the General Partner has made improvements to the appearance of the properties as well as increasing the advertising of the properties. Both of these factors are believed to have contributed to the increase in occupancy. Results of Operations The Partnership's net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, was approximately $84,000 as compared to net income of approximately $513,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The Partnership recorded net income of approximately $13,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 1996, as compared to a net loss of approximately $61,000 for the corresponding period in 1995. The decrease in net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, is primarily attributable to the $539,000 casualty gain recognized in the first quarter of 1995 due to the fire damage at Shadow Brook Apartments. Furthermore, the decrease in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, is attributable to the decrease in other income, the increase in operating expenses, and the increase in partnership management fees. Other income decreased as a result of a decrease in interest income earned on cash balances and a decrease in dividends received on an investment in Southmark Corporation. The decrease in other income is also attributable to the receipt of approximately $21,000 in 1995 of insurance proceeds related to a 1993 fire at Carlin Manor Apartments. At the time of the receipt all costs associated with the fire damages and the related repairs had been expensed or capitalized. Operating expense increased due to an increase in advertising and concessions at Carlin Manor Apartments, which were given in an attempt to increase occupancy, and an increase in utility bills at Carlin Manor Apartments and Hunt Club Apartments due to the unusually cold winter and spring weather. Partnership management fees increased due to an increase in distributions made to limited partners from "cash available for distribution" (as defined in the Agreement) although total distributions decreased for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996. Offsetting the items noted above for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, are a decrease in general and administrative expense and a decrease in property tax expense. The decrease in general and administrative expense is due to the additional costs associated with the combined efforts of the Dallas and Greenville offices during the transition efforts that ended June 30, 1995. The increased costs related to the transition efforts were incurred to minimize any disruption in the 1994 year-end reporting function, including K-1 preparation and distribution. The decrease in property tax expense is due to the fact that the actual 1995 tax invoices for Hunt Club and Shadow Brook were reduced from the amount accrued at September 30, 1995, which was based on prior year amounts. As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the General Partner monitors the rental market environment of its investment properties to assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in expense. 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 At September 30, 1996, the Partnership had unrestricted cash of approximately $1,224,000 compared to approximately $1,332,000 at September 30, 1995. Net cash provided by operating activities at September 30, 1996, is consistent with that of the same period in the prior year. Net cash used in investing activities increased as a result of a decrease in cash received from restricted escrows and a decrease in net cash received from investments. This increase in net cash used in investing activities was partially offset by decreased purchases of property improvements and replacements during the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Net cash used in financing activities decreased due to a decrease in distributions and increased payments on the mortgage notes payable during the nine months ended September 30, 1996, versus the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The Partnership has no material capital programs scheduled to be performed in 1996, although certain routine capital expenditures and maintenance expenses have been budgeted. These capital expenditures and maintenance expenses will be incurred only if cash is available from operations, is received from the capital reserve account, or from cash and cash equivalents on hand. 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 properties 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 $11,200,000 is amortized over varying periods and requires balloon payments in June 1997 and October 2000 at which time the properties will be refinanced or sold. During the first nine months of 1996, distributions of approximately $454,000 or $4.72 per "A" Unit were made to the "A" Unit limited partners, and a distribution of approximately $5,000 was made to the General Partner. Distributions of approximately $909,000 or $9.44 per "A" Unit were made to the "A" Unit limited partners during the first nine months of 1995. Distributions of approximately $9,000 were also made to the General Partner. Future cash distributions will depend on the level of net cash generated from operations, refinancings, property sales, and the availability of cash reserves. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
