Multi-Benefit Realty Fund '87-1, a California limited partnership (the "Registrant") owns a 99% interest in Hunt Club Associates, Ltd., (the "Partnership"). The Partnership owns Hunt Club Apartments, a 200-unit apartment complex located in Indianapolis, Indiana ("Hunt Club"). On August 16, 2005, the Partnership and four other partnerships that own apartment complexes containing a total of 1,324 units (the "Selling Partnerships") entered into a Purchase and Sale Contract (the "Purchase Agreement") with a third party, Prime Quest Management, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (the "Purchaser"), to sell the five apartment complexes owned by the Partnerships to the Purchaser for a total sales price of approximately $39,131,000, of which $4,911,500 represented the sales price for Hunt Club. The Purchaser also agreed to purchase two additional apartment complexes from affiliates of the Partnership's general partner pursuant to two separate purchase and sale agreements. Each of the Selling Partnerships is affiliated with AIMCO Properties, LP, an affiliate of the Partnership's general partner. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser could terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time prior to the expiration of the feasibility period as defined in the Purchase Agreement, acting in the Purchaser's sole discretion and for any reason, upon delivery of written notice to the Selling Partnerships and the escrow agent. On September 23, 2005, the Purchaser delivered written notice to the Selling Partnerships and the escrow agent of its election to terminate the Purchase Agreement pursuant to its terms. On October 11, 2005 ("Reinstatement Date"), the Partnership and Purchaser entered into the Reinstatement and Second Amendment to the Purchase and Sale Contract (the "Reinstatement"), which had the effect of reinstating the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement and the Reinstatement will be filed with the Registrant's Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2005. The Reinstatement decreased the purchase price in the Purchase Agreement to approximately $38,501,000 of which $4,551,500 represents the sales price allocation to Hunt Club. The Purchaser paid an additional deposit of approximately $449,000, of which approximately $53,000 is allocated to Hunt Club. The feasibility period has expired and both of the deposits are nonrefundable. The closing date is now anticipated to be November 30, 2005. There were no other material changes to the Purchase Agreement as described in the Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 16, 2005.
