NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note A - Going Concern
Under the Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan"; see "Note C" below) McCombs Realty
Partners (the "Partnership" or "Registrant"), a California limited partnership,
was required to pay claims to limited partners and creditors of approximately
$11,000,000 on October 20, 1998. These claims have not been paid as of March 31,
2001. This raises substantial doubt about the Partnership's ability to continue
as a going concern. In order to attempt to satisfy the remaining claims under
the Plan, the Partnership would be required to sell the investment property. As
an alternative to the sale of the property, the Partnership could attempt to
obtain authorization from the Court and the limited partners to extend the
settlement date of October 20, 1998, to a future period. The limited partners
were approached in August 1998 and asked to either approve a sale of the
Partnership's sole investment property or for CRPTEX, Inc. ("the General
Partner") to petition the Bankruptcy Court for an extension of the settlement
date. The required fifty-one percent response was not received. As a result, the
Partnership defaulted on its obligations which were due on October 20, 1998. The
General Partner is continuing to see that the Partnership operates its business
in the ordinary course while it evaluates the best course of action to follow.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note B - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Partnership
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and
Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. The Partnership's general partner is CRPTEX,
Inc., a subsidiary of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a
publicly traded real estate investment trust. In the opinion of the 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, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2001. 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 for the Partnership.
Principles of Consolidation:
The Partnership's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Pelham Place, L.P., a South Carolina limited partnership. Pelham Place, L.P. is
the limited partnership which holds title to Lakewood at Pelham. Pelham Place,
L.P. is wholly-owned by the Partnership. All interpartnership transactions have
been eliminated.
Segment Reporting:
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosure about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" established standards for the
way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments
in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report
selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. It
also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas, and major customers. As defined in SFAS No. 131, the
Partnership has only one reportable segment. The General Partner believes that
segment-based disclosures will not result in a more meaningful presentation than
the consolidated financial statements as currently presented.
Note C - Plan of Reorganization
On March 9, 1987, the original general partners of the Partnership, on behalf of
the Partnership, filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Federal
Bankruptcy Code in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California
("Court"). The Partnership continued as Debtor-In-Possession to operate its
business in the ordinary course until the Court confirmed the Partnership's Plan
effective October 25, 1988. The Plan was approved by all required classes of
creditors.
The Plan required that the Partnership make the following payments on October
20, 1998:
1) First, all existing creditors, except prebankruptcy Class 12 creditors
($23,100), would be satisfied;
2) Limited Partners, both original and substitute, who made additional capital
contributions under the plan would receive a repayment of the additional
contributions totaling approximately $730,000;
3) Class 12 creditors would be paid claims aggregating $23,100;
4) Limited Partners who made additional capital contributions and were
original Limited Partners would receive a repayment of their original
capital contributions totaling approximately $9,818,000;
5) Limited Partners who did not make additional capital contributions would
receive a repayment of one-third of their original capital contributions
(i.e., one-third of $1,200,000).
Additionally, the Plan required CRPTEX, Inc. to make a capital contribution of
$14,500 and loan or expend an additional $117,500 on behalf of the Partnership
on an as-needed basis. The Partnership received the $14,500 capital contribution
but has not required the additional $117,500.
The payments required by numbers 1 and 3 above were timely satisfied. In
addition, all other claims provided for in the Plan then outstanding were
settled on June 25, 1995 when the Partnership refinanced the then outstanding
mortgages encumbering the property. However, the Partnership was unable to
satisfy the amounts due to the limited partners indicated in numbers 2, 4 and 5
above and is in default on these obligations.
Note D - Transactions with Affiliated Parties
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 Agreement provides for certain payments to affiliates for
services and for reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on
behalf of the Partnership. The following transactions with the General Partner
and its affiliates were incurred during each of the three months ended March 31,
2001 and 2000:
2001 2000
(in thousands)
Property management fees (included in operating expenses) $ 19 $ 20
Reimbursement for services of affiliates (included in
general and administrative expenses) 20 10
During the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, affiliates of the General
Partner were entitled to receive 5% of gross receipts from the Partnership's
investment property as compensation for providing property management services.
The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $19,000 and $20,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Affiliates of the General Partner received reimbursement of accountable
administrative expenses amounting to approximately $20,000 and $10,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the
Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates currently own 3,159.5 limited partnership
units in the Partnership representing 18.37% of the outstanding units. A number
of these units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its
affiliates. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will acquire additional
limited partnership interests in the Partnership for cash or in exchange for
units in the operating partnership of AIMCO. Under the Partnership Agreement,
unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with
respect to a variety of matters, which would include without limitation, voting
on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the
General Partner. When voting on matters, AIMCO would in all likelihood vote the
Units it acquired in a manner favorable to the interest of the General Partner
because of their affiliation with the General Partner.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The matters discussed in this Form 10-QSB contain certain forward-looking
statements and involve risks and uncertainties (including changing market
conditions, competitive and regulatory matters, etc.) detailed in the
disclosures contained in this Form 10-QSB and the other filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Partnership from time to time.
The discussion of the Partnership's business and results of operations,
including forward-looking statements pertaining to such matters, does not take
into account the effects of any changes to the Partnership's business and
results of operation. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from
those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of
factors, including those identified herein.
The Partnership's investment property consists of one apartment complex. The
following table sets forth the average occupancy of the property for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000:
Average Occupancy
Property 2001 2000
Lakewood at Pelham 95% 98%
Greenville, South Carolina
The General Partner attributes the decrease in occupancy at Lakewood at Pelham
to increased market competition as a result of lower home mortgage interest
rates.
Results of Operations
The Registrant's net income for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was
approximately $18,000 as compared to a net loss of approximately $27,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase in net income is due to a
decrease in total expenses and, to a lesser extent, an increase in total
revenues. Total expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease in general and
administrative expenses, and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in depreciation
expense. The decrease in depreciation expense is primarily due to fixed assets
placed into service in previous years becoming fully depreciated in 2001.
Operating expenses, interest expense, and property tax expense remained
relatively constant for the comparable periods.
General and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease in
professional fees associated with the management of the Partnership, which was
partially offset by an increase in the costs of services included in the
management reimbursements to the General Partner as allowed under the
Partnership Agreement. Also included in general and administrative expenses at
both March 31, 2001 and 2000 are costs associated with the quarterly and annual
communications with investors and regulatory agencies and the annual audit
required by the Partnership Agreement.
Total revenues increased primarily due to an increase in other income. The
increase in other income is primarily due to an increase in interest income, as
a result of higher average cash balances in interest bearing accounts. Rental
income remained relatively constant for the comparable periods, as the decrease
in occupancy was offset by an increase in the average rental rate at the
Partnership's investment property.
As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the General Partner
monitors the rental market environment of its investment property to assess the
feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy levels and
protecting the Partnership from increases in expenses. 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 March 31, 2001, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $705,000 as compared to approximately $436,000 at March 31, 2000.
The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $77,000, from the
Partnership's calendar year end, is due to approximately $44,000 of cash used in
investing activities, approximately $18,000 of cash used in financing activities
and approximately $15,000 of cash used in operating activities. Cash used in
investing activities consisted of property improvements and replacements and net
deposits to escrow accounts maintained by the mortgage lender. Cash used in
financing activities consisted of payments of principal made on the mortgage
encumbering the Partnership's investment property. The Partnership invests its
working capital reserves in interest bearing accounts.
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 property to adequately maintain the physical assets
and other operating needs of the Partnership including satisfaction of remaining
claims related to the Partnership's Plan of Reorganization, as described below,
and to comply with Federal, state, local, legal and regulatory requirements.
Capital improvements planned at the Partnership's investment property are
detailed below.
For 2001, the Partnership has budgeted approximately $75,000 for capital
improvements at Lakewood at Pelham, consisting primarily of floor covering
replacement and interior and exterior building improvements. The Partnership
completed approximately $27,000 in capital expenditures at Lakewood at Pelham as
of March 31, 2001, consisting primarily of floor covering replacement and
structural building improvements. These improvements were funded from
operations.
The additional capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available
from operations or from Partnership reserves. Current Partnership reserves are
sufficient to cover the estimated costs of the capital improvements planned for
the year 2001. However, the Partnership does not have sufficient assets to
fulfill its obligation under the Plan of Reorganization ("Plan") and in fact
defaulted on its obligations due October 20, 1998. See discussion below for
detail as to the Partnership's Plan with respect to meeting its short term needs
under the Plan. No distributions were declared or paid during either of the
three months ended March 31, 2001 or 2000.
On March 9, 1987, the original general partners of the Partnership, on behalf of
the Partnership, filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Federal
Bankruptcy Code in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California
("Court"). The Partnership continued as Debtor-In-Possession to operate its
business in the ordinary course until the Court confirmed the Partnership's Plan
effective October 25, 1988. The Plan was approved by all required classes of
creditors.
The Plan required that the Partnership make the following payments on October
20, 1998:
1) First, all existing creditors, except prebankruptcy Class 12 creditors
($23,100), would be satisfied;
2) Limited Partners, both original and substitute, who made additional capital
contributions under the plan would receive a repayment of the additional
contributions totaling approximately $730,000;
3) Class 12 creditors would be paid claims aggregating $23,100;
4) Limited Partners who made additional capital contributions and were
original Limited Partners would receive a repayment of their original
capital contributions totaling approximately $9,818,000;
5) Limited Partners who did not make additional capital contributions would
receive a repayment of one-third of their original capital contributions
(i.e., one-third of $1,200,000).
Additionally, the Plan required CRPTEX, Inc. to make a capital contribution of
$14,500 and loan or expend an additional $117,500 on behalf of the Partnership
on an as-needed basis. The Partnership received the $14,500 capital contribution
but has not required the additional $117,500.
The payments required by numbers 1 and 3 above were timely satisfied. In
addition, all other claims provided for in the Plan then outstanding were
settled on June 25, 1995 when the Partnership refinanced the then outstanding
mortgages encumbering the property. However, the Partnership was unable to
satisfy the amounts due to the limited partners indicated in numbers 2, 4 and 5
above and is in default on these obligations.
To attempt to satisfy its remaining obligations under the Plan, the Partnership
would be required to sell the investment property. As an alternative, the
Partnership could seek authorization from the Limited Partners to extend the
payment date of October 20, 1998 to a future period. The limited partners were
approached in August 1998 and asked to either approve a sale of the
Partnership's sole investment property or for the General Partner to petition
the Bankruptcy Court for an extension of the settlement date. The required
fifty-one percent response was not received. As a result, the Partnership
defaulted on its obligations which were due on October 20, 1998. The General
Partner is continuing to see that the Partnership operates its business in the
ordinary course while it evaluates the best course of action to follow.
Additionally, the Partnership's mortgage indebtedness of approximately
$5,520,000 at March 31, 2001, matures in July 2005, and would require a property
sale or refinancing at that time. However, there can be no assurance that these
courses of action will be successful and that the Partnership will have
sufficient funds to meet its obligations in 2001 or beyond.
In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the
Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates currently own 3,159.5 limited partnership
units in the Partnership representing 18.37% of the outstanding units. A number
of these units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its
affiliates. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will acquire additional
limited partnership interests in the Partnership for cash or in exchange for
units in the operating partnership of AIMCO. Under the Partnership Agreement,
unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with
respect to a variety of matters, which would include without limitation, voting
on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the
General Partner. When voting on matters, AIMCO would in all likelihood vote the
Units it acquired in a manner favorable to the interest of the General Partner
because of their affiliation with the General Partner.
