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 the Managing 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, 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 the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1995. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 information to conform to the 1996 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. Balances and other transactions with Insignia Financial Group, Inc. and affiliates in 1996 and 1995 are as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 1995 (in thousands) Property management fees $ 48 $ 46 Reimbursement for services of affiliates 60 74 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. Note C - Casualty During the first quarter of 1995, the Partnership recorded a casualty loss resulting from ice damage at Lewis Park Apartments to the roofs and interiors of two buildings. Although the damage was covered by insurance, the damage resulted in a loss of $25,000, arising from proceeds received from the insurance carrier of $181,000 which were less than the basis of the property plus expenses to replace the roofs and interiors damaged. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION The Partnership's investment properties consist of one apartment complex and one office building. The following table sets forth the average occupancy of the properties for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995: Average Occupancy Property 1996 1995 Lewis Park Apartments Carbondale, Illinois 93% 89% Highland Professional Tower Kansas City, Missouri 89% 92% The Managing General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at Lewis Park to aggressive leasing and marketing efforts and the increase of units available to rent due to improvements and repairs to the available units. The decrease in occupancy at Highland Professional Tower is attributable to tenants not renewing their leases due to deferred maintenance at the property. The Managing General Partner is currently ascertaining how best to utilize the Partnership's cash and invested reserves of $1,375,000 to address the deferred maintenance and attract and retain tenants. The Partnership's net income for the three months ended March 31, 1996, was $217,000 versus $190,000 for the corresponding period of 1995. The increase in net income is primarily attributable to an increase in other income and a decrease in casualty loss. Other income increased due to increased interest income as interest rates and cash balances are higher in 1996 as compared to the corresponding period in 1995. The Partnership recorded a casualty loss at Lewis Park Apartments resulting from ice damage to the roofs and interiors of two buildings of $25,000 during the first quarter of 1995. Partially offsetting the increase in income was an increase in maintenance expense at Lewis Park during the first quarter of 1996 due to repair work performed on units for new tenants. 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 expense. 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. At March 31, 1996, the Partnership had unrestricted cash of $1,375,000 compared to $1,147,000 at March 31, 1995. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased primarily as a result of a decrease in accounts payable due to the timing of payments to vendors. Net cash used in investing activities increased as a result of insurance proceeds being received in 1995. Property improvements decreased in 1996 as the Partnership incurred a casualty loss at Lewis Park during the first quarter of 1995. The Partnership has no material capital programs scheduled to be performed in 1996, although certain routine capital expenditures and maintenance expenses have been budgeted and the Managing General Partner is currently ascertaining how to best address the deferred maintenance at Highland Professional Tower. These capital expenditures and maintenance expenses will be incurred only if cash is available from operations or is received from the capital reserve account. 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. Such assets are currently thought to be sufficient for any near-term needs of the Partnership. Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations, capital expenditure requirements, property sales, financings, and the availability of cash reserves. No cash distributions were made during the first three months of 1996 or 1995. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
