Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared by American Republic
Realty Fund I (the "Company") pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in
the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present such
information. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature. Although the Company believes that the disclosures
are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures,
including a description of significant accounting policies
normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America, have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Company's 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of
operations for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results for any subsequent quarter or the
entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2005.
Item 2. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
FIRST QUARTER 2005 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 2004
At March 31, 2005 the Partnership owned two properties with
approximately 416,623 net rentable square feet. Both properties
are apartment communities. The portfolio had an average
occupancy of 86.9% for the first quarter of 2005, as compared to
85.2% for the first quarter of 2004.
Revenue from property operations decreased $16,163, or 2.53%, for
the first quarter of 2005, as compared to the 2004-first quarter.
The decrease in rental income of $16,974 or 2.73% is primarily
due to a decrease in rental rates. The increase in other income
of $811 or 5.3% is primarily due to an increase in Late and other
fee collections from the properties. The following table
illustrates the components:
Increase Percent
(Decrease) Change
Rental income (16,974) 2.73%
Other property 811 5.30%
Net Increase (Decrease) (16,163) 2.53%
Property operating expenses decreased $22,830 or 3.04%, for the
first quarter of 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004.
Maintenance & repairs decreased $21,821 or 38.8% due to prior
year exterior painting being performed. Utilities increased
$6,982 or 12.88% due to higher gas prices. Real estate taxes
decreased $8,100 or 10.76% due to successful property assessment
appeals. General and administrative increased $1,390 or 7.75%
due to increased advertising. Insurance increased $3,417 or
10.70% in connection with the annual policy renewal. The
following table illustrates the components by category:
Increase
(Decrease)
Salaries & wages (313) 0.36%
Maintenance & repairs (21,821) 38.80%
Utilities 6,982 12.88%
Real estate taxes (8,100) 10.76%
General administrative 1,390 7.75%
Contract services (806) 2.81%
Insurance 3,417 10.70%
Interest (2,771) 1.40%
Depreciation and amortization 0 0.00%
Property management fees (a) (808) 2.53%
Net Increase (Decrease) (22,830) 3.04%
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
While it is the General Partners primary intention to
operate and manage the existing real estate investments, the
General Partner also continually evaluates this investment in
light of current economic conditions and trends to determine if
this asset should be considered for disposal. At this time, there
is no plan to dispose of either property.
As of March 31, 2005, the Partnership had $338,680 in cash
and cash equivalents as compared to $353,871 as of December 31,
2004. The net decrease in cash of $15,191 is principally due to
cash used for financing activities.
Each asset of the fund refinanced its debt during July 1997.
The fund retired debt with a face value of $6,500,000 and
replaced with debt of $10,800,000. The new mortgages in the
amounts of $4,000,000, $6,800,000 carry interest rates of 7.8%
and 7.92% respectively. The notes come due August 2007. The
Partnerships required principal payments due under the stated
terms of the Partnerships mortgage notes payable are $164,442,
$177,870, and $9,576,345 for each of the next three years.
For the foreseeable future, the Partnership anticipates that
mortgage principal payments (excluding any balloon mortgage
payments), improvements and capital expenditures will be funded
by net cash from operations. The primary source of capital to
fund future Partnership acquisitions and balloon mortgage
payments will be proceeds from the sale, financing or
refinancing of the Properties.
Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market
Risk
The Partnership is exposed to interest rate changes
primarily as a result of its real estate mortgages. The
Partnerships interest rate risk management objective is to limit
the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows
and to lower it's overall borrowing costs. To achieve its
objectives, the Partnership borrows primarily at fixed rates.
The Partnership does not enter into derivative or interest rate
transactions for any purpose.
The Partnerships' activities do not contain material risk
due to changes in general market conditions. The partnership
invests only in fully insured bank certificates of deposits, and
mutual funds investing in United States treasury obligations.
Item 4 - Controls and Procedures
Based on their most recent evaluation, which was completed
within 90 days of the filing of this Form 10-Q, our Acting
Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believe
our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange
Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) are effective. There were not any
significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that
could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date
of their evaluation, and there has not been any corrective action
with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
