NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Century Pension Income Fund
XXIII (the "Partnership") have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. 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 Fox Capital Management Corporation ("FCMC" or the "Managing General
Partner"), a California corporation, 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-K 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.
The general partner of the Partnership is Fox Partners V, a California general
partnership, whose general partners are FCMC and Fox Realty Investors ("FRI"), a
California general partnership.
Pursuant to a series of transactions which closed during the first half of 1996,
affiliates of Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia") acquired all of the
issued and outstanding shares of stock of FCMC, NPI Equity Investments II, Inc.
("NPI Equity"), the managing general partner of FRI, and National Property
Investors, Inc. ("NPI"). In addition with these transactions, affiliates of
Insignia appointed new officers and directors of NPI Equity and FCMC.
The following transactions with affiliates of Insignia, NPI, and affiliates of
NPI were incurred during the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996
(in thousands):
Three Months Ended
March 31,
1997 1996
Property management fees (included in operating
expenses) $ 38 $ 28
Reimbursement for services of affiliates (included
in general and administrative expenses) 24 71
Partnership management fee (included in general
and administrative expenses) 55 55
Affiliates of the Managing General Partner performed property management
services for The Enclaves during 1996 and 1997. Effective May 1, 1996, an
affiliate of Insignia began performing property management services for Coral
Palm Plaza.
For the period from 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.
The general partner received cash distributions totaling approximately $21,000
during the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.
NOTE C - FORECLOSURE OF SUNNYMEAD TOWNE SHOPPING CENTER
In March 1997, the Sunnymead Towne Shopping Center ("Sunnymead") located in
Moreno Valley, California, was foreclosed on. Sunnymead had a significant
tenant, which occupied 98,000 square feet, vacate in 1995. During February
1996, another major tenant vacated 11,000 square feet, leaving the property
approximately 25% physically occupied. Effective March 1, 1996, the Partnership
ceased making debt service payments, as the value of Sunnymead was estimated at
less than the debt. The property was placed in receivership on May 1, 1996. In
1995, a $2,900,000 provision for impairment of value was recorded on the
Sunnymead property. The Partnership determined that, based on economic
conditions at the time as well as projected future operational cash flows, the
decline in value was other than temporary and recovery of the carrying value was
not likely. Accordingly, the property's carrying value was reduced to an amount
equal to its estimated fair value. In the Managing general Partner's opinion,
it was not in the Partnership's best interest to contest the foreclosure action.
As a result of the foreclosure, the Partnership recorded a gain on foreclosure
of approximately $5,337,000. Prior to the foreclosure, the outstanding debt on
the property was a note payable with a principal balance of $10,100,000 and
accrued interest of approximately $1,591,000.
NOTE D - RESTRICTED CASH
Restricted cash at December 31, 1996 represents cash partially securing the
Sunnymead note payable, which was restricted as to its use pursuant to a court
approved reorganization plan and the modified note agreements (see "Note C").
ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The Partnership's remaining investment properties consist of one apartment
complex, four business parks and two shopping centers, as well as three business
parks and a shopping center owned by two consolidated joint ventures between the
Partnership and an affiliated partnership. The following table sets forth the
average physical occupancy for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996:
Average
Occupancy
Property 1997 1996
Commerce Plaza 100% 92%
Tampa, Florida
Regency Centre 95% 99%
Lexington, Kentucky
Highland Park Commerce 89% 97%
Center - Phase II
Charlotte, North Carolina
Interrich Plaza 64% 64%
Richardson, Texas
Centre Stage Shopping Center 99% 96%
Norcross, Georgia
The Enclaves 93% 95%
Atlanta, Georgia
Medtronics 100% 100%
Irvine, California
Coral Palm Plaza Joint Venture:
Coral Palm Plaza 74% 76%
Coral Springs, Florida
Minneapolis Business Parks
Joint Venture:
Alpha Business Center 95% 93%
Bloomington, Minnesota
Plymouth Service Center 100% 100%
Plymouth, Minnesota
Westpoint Business Center 99% 96%
Plymouth, Minnesota
The Managing General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at Commerce
Plaza to the leasing of the remaining available space to a new tenant during the
second quarter of 1996. Occupancy at Regency Centre decreased primarily as a
result of a tenant vacating the property at the end of its lease in 1996. New
leases have been executed for most of the currently vacant space, with the
tenants scheduled to move in during the second quarter of 1997. Occupancy at
Highland Park decreased as a result of two tenants vacating the property in
1996. Occupancy at Highland Park increased to 92% at March 31, 1997, as
management continues to market the vacant space.
The Partnership's net income for the three months ended March 31, 1997, was
approximately $4,290,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $864,000 for
the corresponding period of 1996. The increase in net income is primarily
attributable to the gain on the foreclosure of Sunnymead Towne Shopping Center
during the three months ended March 31, 1997 (see "Item 1. Financial Statements,
Note C"). The Partnership recognized an extraordinary gain on foreclosure of
approximately $5,337,000. The Partnership's loss before the extraordinary gain
was approximately $960,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to
approximately $800,000 for the comparable period in 1996. The increase in loss
before the extraordinary gain was primarily due to an increase in operating
expenses. Included in operating expense for the three months ended March 31,
1997, is approximately $14,000 of major repairs and maintenance comprised
primarily of exterior building repairs. There were no expenditures for major
repairs and maintenance during the three months ended March 31, 1996. Also
contributing to the increase in operating expenses was an increase in contract
security costs at Sunnymead as a result of the poor local economy. Snow removal
costs at the Minnesota properties increased due to the severity of the winter.
Operating expenses at The Enclaves increased partially due to a 1994 real estate
tax assessment increase being received and paid in the first quarter of 1997.
The Enclaves also had increases in sewer and electricity charges, landscaping
materials, and interior painting expense. Partially offsetting the increase in
operating expenses was the decrease in general and administrative expenses as a
result of increased expense reimbursements in 1996, related to the costs
incurred in connection with the transition and relocation of the partnership
administrative offices during the first quarter of 1996.
As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the Managing General
Partner monitors the rental market environment 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 approximately
$8,113,000 compared to approximately $6,425,000 at March 31, 1996. Net cash
used in operating activities increased partially due to increases in operating
expenses as discussed above. Also contributing to the increase in cash used in
operating activities was an increase in cash used for accrued taxes and other
liabilities related to the timing of payments. Net cash used in investing
activities decreased due to decreased property improvements and replacements in
the first quarter of 1997. Net cash used in financing activities increased due
to a contribution from the minority interest in the joint venture in 1996.
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 approximately $6,856,000, requires interest only
payments with a balloon payment due in 2001. Also, the Partnership's Non-
Recourse Promissory Notes of approximately $74,441,000, including deferred
interest of approximately $32,502,000, require minimum interest payments of 5%
on principal per year and mature on February 15, 1999, at which time the
Partnership will have to extend the due dates of these notes, find replacement
funding, or sell properties. Future cash distributions will depend on the levels
of cash generated from operations and the availability of cash reserves. No
cash distributions to the limited partners were made in 1996 or during the three
months ended March 31, 1997. Currently, the Managing General Partner is
evaluating the feasibility of a distribution from cash reserves in 1997.
