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 NPI Equity Investments, Inc. ("NPI Equity" or the "Managing General Partner"), all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 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 - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED PARTIES The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the Managing 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. NPI Equity is the general partner of the Partnership. NPI Equity is a wholly- owned subsidiary of National Property Investors, Inc. ("NPI"). On January 19, 1996, the stockholders of NPI sold to IFGP Corporation, a Delaware corporation, an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia"), a Delaware corporation, all of the issued and outstanding common stock of NPI. Upon the closing, the officers and directors of NPI and the Managing General Partner resigned and IFGP Corporation caused new officers and directors of each of those entities to be elected. The following transactions with affiliates of Insignia, NPI, and affiliates of NPI were incurred in the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 (in thousands): For the Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 1996 Property management fees (included in operating expenses) $ 71 $ 70 Reimbursement for services of affiliates, including $15,000 of construction services reimbursements in 1997 (included in general and administrative expenses, operating expenses, and investment properties) 49 72 For the period of January 19, 1996, to March 31, 1997, the Partnership insured its properties under a master policy through an agency and insurer unaffiliated with the Managing General Partner. An affiliate of the Managing 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 Managing General Partner who received payments on these obligations from the agent. The amount of the Partnership's insurance premiums accruing to the benefit of the affiliate of the Managing General Partner by virtue of the agent's obligations is not significant. NOTE C - TENANT-IN-COMMON PROPERTY The Partnership currently owns The Village Apartments, as a tenant-in-common with National Property Investors 6 ("NPI 6"), an affiliated public limited partnership. NPI 6 acquired a 75.972% undivided interest with the Partnership owning the remaining 24.028%. The property is accounted for using the proportionate consolidation method. The financial statements and supplementary data reflect the Partnership's 24.028% proportionate share of historical cost of this property. The condensed, combined balance sheets of The Village Apartments and the Partnership's proportionate share of assets, liabilities and equity at March 31, 1997, and the condensed, combined statements of operations of The Village Apartments and the Partnership's proportionate share of revenues and expenses for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, are summarized as follows: (In thousands) PROPORTIONATE COMBINED SHARE Total assets, primarily real estate $ 12,060 $ 2,838 Liabilities, primarily a mortgage payable $ 11,255 $ 2,704 Equity 805 134 Total liabilities and equity $ 12,060 $ 2,838 COMBINED PROPORTIONATE SHARE For the Three Months Ended For the Three Months Ended March 31, March 31, 1997 1996 1997 1996 Total revenues $ 1,136 $ 1,073 $ 273 $ 257 Operating and other expenses $ 551 $ 600 $ 133 $ 143 Depreciation 189 181 45 44 Mortgage interest 249 251 60 60 Total expenses 989 1,032 238 247 Net income $ 147 $ 41 $ 35 $ 10 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS The Partnership's investment properties consist of four apartment complexes. The following table sets forth the average occupancy of the properties for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996: Average Occupancy Property 1997 1996 Willow Park on Lake Adelaide Altamonte Springs, Florida 94% 96% Oakwood Village at Lake Nan Apartments Winter Park, Florida 97% 91% Palisades Apartments Montgomery, Alabama 84% 88% The Village Apartments (1) Voorhees, New Jersey 93% 91% (1) This property was purchased as a tenancy in common with National Property Investors 6, an affiliated public partnership, which acquired a 75.972% undivided interest, with the Partnership owning the remaining 24.028%. The Managing General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at Oakwood Village to quality customer service and marketing. Despite the completion of road construction in the area, which included re-routing the road to the property, management was still able to increase occupancy. Occupancy decreased at Palisades Apartments due to evictions of tenants with delinquent rent balances. Management expects that this action will reduce bad debt expense in the future. Currently, improvements at the property, including the building of a guard house at the front entrance, are expected to improve overall appearance and occupancy. The Partnership's net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1997, was approximately $97,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $24,000 for the corresponding period of 1996. The increase in net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1997, is due to an increase in operating expenses and a decrease in total revenues. Included in operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1997 is approximately $141,000 of major repairs and maintenance compared to approximately $5,000 for the comparable period in 1996. The increase in operating expenses is attributable to an exterior rehabilitation project at Willow Park during the first quarter of 1997. This project included the expenditure of approximately $111,000 on exterior painting and stucco repair. Partially offsetting the increase in operating expenses is a decrease in general and administrative expenses. The decrease in general and administrative expense is primarily attributable to a decrease in expense reimbursements paid to affiliates of the Managing General Partner in 1997. As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the Managing 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 expense. As part of this plan, the Managing 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 Managing General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan. At March 31, 1997, the Partnership had unrestricted cash of $1,899,000, as compared to $1,984,000 at March 31, 1996. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased primarily as a result of the increase in operating expense, as discussed above, and decreases in accounts payable and other liabilities related to the timing of payments. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities is due primarily to increased withdrawals from restricted escrows in 1997. The Managing General Partner has extended to the Partnership a $500,000 line of credit. At the present time, the Partnership has no outstanding amounts due under this line of credit, and the Managing General Partner does not anticipate the need to borrow in the near future. Other than cash and cash equivalents the line of credit is the Partnership's only unused source of liquidity. 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 various 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 $14,485,000 matures at various times with balloon payments due at maturity at which time the properties will either be refinanced or sold. Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations, property sales and the availability of cash reserves. No cash distributions were made in 1996 or during the first three months of 1997. Currently, the Managing General Partner is evaluating the feasibility of a distribution of cash reserves in 1997.
