III NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Note A - Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited financial statements 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. In the opinion of Angeles Realty Corporation II (the "Managing General Partner"), all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 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 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Angeles Income Properties, Ltd. III's (the "Partnership") annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 information to conform to the 1996 presentation. Note B - Investment in Joint Ventures The Partnership has a 33.3% investment in Northtown Mall Partners ("Northtown") which is shown as "Equity interest in net liabilities of joint venture" on the balance sheet. The Partnership had a 57% investment in Burlington Outlet Mall Joint Venture ("Burlington") and a 50% investment in Moraine West Carrollton Joint Venture ("Moraine"). The Partnership no longer has an investment in these joint ventures due to the foreclosure of Burlington's investment property in 1995 and the sale of Moraine's investment property in 1994. Condensed balance sheet information as of June 30, 1996, for the joint ventures is as follows: Northtown Burlington Assets Cash $ 152 $ 26 Other assets 7,338 2 Investment properties, net 25,276 -- Total $32,766 $ 28 Liabilities and Partners' (Deficit) Capital Northtown Burlington Other liabilities $ 3,241 $ 17 Note payable 51,564 -- Partners' (deficit) capital (22,039) 11 Total $ 32,766 $ 28 The condensed profit and loss statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, for the joint ventures are as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 Northtown Burlington Revenues $ 2,417 $ -- Costs and expenses (3,271) -- Net loss $ (854) $ -- Three Months Ended June 30, 1995 Northtown Moraine Burlington Revenues $ 2,654 $ -- $ 105 Costs and expenses (3,311) -- (164) Net loss $ (657) $ -- $ (59) Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Northtown Burlington Revenues $ 4,990 $ 11 Costs and expenses (6,564) -- Net (loss) income $(1,574) $ 11 Note B - Investment in Joint Ventures (continued) Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 Northtown Moraine Burlington Revenues $ 5,197 $ 13 $ 237 Costs and expenses (6,458) (1) (425) Net (loss) income $(1,261) $ 12 $ (188) The Partnership accounts for its 33.3% investment in Northtown using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the Partnership records its equity interest in earnings or losses of the joint venture; however, the investment in the joint venture will be recorded at an amount less than zero (a liability) to the extent of the Partnership's share of net liabilities of the joint venture. Note C - 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. The following amounts owed to the Managing General Partner and affiliates during the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were paid or accrued: 1996 1995 (in thousands) Property management fees $ 32 $ 31 Reimbursement for services of affiliates 88 122 The Partnership insures 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 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 Managing General Partner by virtue of the agent's obligations is not significant. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS The Partnership's investment properties consist of one apartment complex and one commercial property. The following table sets forth the average occupancy of the properties for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995: Average Occupancy Property 1996 1995 Lake Forest Apartments (1) Brandon, Mississippi 89% 96% Poplar Square Shopping Center Medford, Oregon 97% 97% (1) The decrease in occupancy at Lake Forest Apartments is due to competition from new apartment complexes in the Brandon, Mississippi area. This property has some physical needs (wood replacement and painting) and the Managing General Partner anticipates that occupancy will improve once the physical deficiencies are addressed. The Partnership realized a net loss of $669,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to a net loss of $609,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The Partnership realized a net loss of $338,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to a net loss of $291,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995. The increase in the net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, is primarily due to an increase in operating and bad debt expenses offset, in part, by a decrease in general and administrative expenses. The decrease in other income is a result of decreased lease cancellation fees, deposits forfeited and other fees and collections. The increase in operating expenses relates primarily to increased maintenance payroll associated with improvements being made on vacant units at Lake Forest Apartments. The decrease in general and administrative expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, is primarily related to decreases in cost reimbursements for asset management, partnership accounting and investor services. The decrease in property tax expense relates to a refund for an overpayment of property taxes on Poplar Square Shopping Center in the prior year. Bad debt expenses increased as a result of an increase in the reserve required based on a review of tenants accounts at the Poplar Square Shopping Center. 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 expenses. 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 June 30, 1996, the Partnership had unrestricted cash of $1,266,000 versus $1,983,000 at June 30, 1995. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased as a result of an increase in escrows for taxes and a decrease in other liabilities. Net cash used in investing activities increased due to more advances to Northtown in 1996 and a non-recurring distribution received from Moraine in 1995. The Northtown Mall property has continued to experience cash shortfalls and has been dependent upon the Partnership and Angeles Income Properties, Ltd. IV (the 66.7% owner of Northtown) to cover such shortfalls in order to meet operating and debt service requirements for this property (see discussion below for the Managing General Partner's plans regarding this investment property). The increase in net cash used in financing activities is due to the loan costs incurred in 1996 in an effort to refinance the mortgage indebtedness secured by the Poplar Square Shopping Center. 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 $3,421,000, which is secured by the Poplar Square Shopping Center investment property, matured in June 1995. The Managing General Partner is in negotiations to refinance this indebtedness and has received two six month extensions and one four month extension from the mortgage company to do so. The current extension expires in October 1996. The Managing General Partner does not anticipate that there will be any excess cash available to the Partnership if in fact the refinance is successful. The outcome of the negotiations to refinance this indebtedness cannot presently be determined. Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations, property sales and the availability of cash reserves. On March 15, 1991, Northtown and the holder of the Northtown Mall mortgage note payable entered into an Option Agreement ("Option") whereby such lender has the right and an option to purchase the Northtown Mall property on the terms and conditions as set forth in the Option. The purchase price of the property, as set forth in the Option, is defined as the fair market value of the property. Such Option can be exercised by written notice by the lender at specified dates. The Managing General Partner is presently in negotiations to refinance this indebtedness, however, the outcome of such negotiations cannot presently be determined. On October 30, 1995, the Partnership lost Burlington Outlet Mall located in Burlington, NC, through a foreclosure by an unaffiliated mortgage holder. The property was not generating sufficient cash flow to meet debt service requirements. The non-payment of principal and interest constituted a default under the terms of the mortgage agreement and allowed the holder of the mortgage agreement to foreclose on the property. The Partnership deemed it to be in the best interest of the Partnership not to contest the foreclosure action. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Angeles Corporation ("Angeles"), either directly or through an affiliate, maintained a central disbursement account (the "account") for the properties and partnerships managed by Angeles and its affiliates, including the Partnership. Angeles caused the Partnership to make deposits to the account ostensibly to fund the payment of certain obligations of the Partnership. However, of these total deposits, at least $42,000 deposited by or on behalf of the Partnership was used for purposes other than satisfying the liabilities of the Partnership. Accordingly, the Partnership filed a Proof of Claim in the Angeles bankruptcy proceedings for such amount. However, subsequently the Managing General Partner of the Partnership determined that the cost involved to pursue such claim would likely exceed any amount received if in fact such claim were to be resolved in favor of the Partnership. Therefore, the Partnership withdrew this claim on August 9, 1995. The Managing General Partner is unaware of any other pending or outstanding litigation that is not of a routine nature. The Managing General Partner believes that all such pending or outstanding litigation will be resolved without a material adverse effect upon the business, financial condition, or operations of the Partnership.
