On-site property management services have been contracted by an affiliate of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership and are paid directly by the Partnership to the third party companies. 4. Subsequent Event On May 15, 1998, the Partnership paid a distribution of $130,494 to the limited partners and $1,318 to the General Partner. 6 CONNECTICUT GENERAL REALTY INVESTORS III LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (a Connecticut limited partnership) Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Except for historical information provided in this Management's Discussion and Analysis, statements made in this document are forward-looking and contain information about financial results, economic conditions, trends, and known uncertainties. The Partnership cautions the reader that actual results could differ materially from those expected by the Partnership. Liquidity and Capital Resources At March 31, 1998, the Partnership had $700,109 in cash and cash equivalents which was available for working capital requirements, cash distributions, and the Partnership's cash reserves. For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Partnership generated $133,000 of adjusted cash from operations after debt service, capital improvements, and adjustments to the Partnership's cash reserves. The Partnership's first quarter 1998 cash distribution of $130,494 or $5.25 per Unit is payable on May 15, 1998, and represents the first quarter's adjusted cash from operations. The Partnership plans to distribute cash quarterly to the extent cash is available from operations after debt service, capital, and changes to cash reserves for liabilities and capital expenditures, until the sale of the Partnership's remaining two properties. The Partnership's current plans assume the sale of the two remaining apartment projects in early 1999. Once the Partnership completes the sales of the two remaining properties, the Partnership will distribute the net sales proceeds to the limited partners as part of a complete liquidation and Partnership termination. Results of Operations Generally, decreases reflected in the statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998, as compared with the same period in 1997, are the result of the sale of Stonebridge Manor Apartments in October 1997. Besides the sale, the Partnership's results reflect the following changes at the two remaining properties. Rental income at Waterford increased 5% due to an increase in rates throughout 1997. Waterford plans to increase rates at a similar pace in 1998. Versailles Village reported a 12% increase in property operating expenses, which generally was the result of the timing of repairs and maintenance expenses. As 1998 progresses, the change in repairs and maintenance expenses, when compared with the same period of the prior year, is expected to diminish at Versailles Village. Fees and reimbursements to affiliates decreased because of a drop in the property management fees (resulting from the sale of Stonebridge Manor), lower partnership management fees as a result of less cash available for distribution (resulting from the sale of Stonebridge Manor), and a savings in 1998 on printing costs. 7 CONNECTICUT GENERAL REALTY INVESTORS III LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (a Connecticut limited partnership) Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) Occupancy The following is a listing of approximate physical occupancy levels by quarter for the Partnership's investment properties: 1997 1998 At 3/31 At 6/30 At 9/30 At 12/31 At 3/31 1.
