Note 2 - Distributions and Allocations - -------------------------------------- Distributable Cash from Operations, as defined in the Amended Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement"), is distributed 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner. The Limited Partners' share of Distributable Cash from Operations is distributed as follows: first, to the Investors until they receive a 7% non-cumulative, non-compounded annual cash return on their Invested Capital, as defined in the Partnership Agreement; second, to the John Hancock Limited Partner until it receives a 7% non-cumulative, non- compounded annual cash return on its Invested Capital; and third, to the Investors and the John Hancock Limited Partner in proportion to their respective Capital Contributions, as defined in the Partnership Agreement. However, any Distributable Cash from Operations which is available as a result of the reduction of working capital reserves funded by Capital Contributions of the Investors is distributed 100% to the Investors. 7 JOHN HANCOCK REALTY INCOME FUND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (A Massachusetts Limited Partnership) Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements (continued) (Unaudited) Note 2 - Distributions and Allocations (continued) - -------------------------------------- Cash from Sales or Refinancings, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, is first used to pay all debts and liabilities of the Partnership then due and is then used to fund any reserves for contingent liabilities. Cash from Sales or Refinancings is then distributed as follows: first, to the Limited Partners until they receive an amount equal to their Invested Capital with the distribution being made between the Investors and the John Hancock Limited Partner in proportion to their respective Capital Contributions; second, to the Investors until they have received, with respect to all previous distributions during the year, their Cumulative Return on Investment, as defined in the Partnership Agreement; third, to the John Hancock Limited Partner until it has received, with respect to all previous distributions during the year, its Cumulative Return on Investment; fourth, to the General Partner to pay any Subordinated Disposition Fees, as defined in the Partnership Agreement; and fifth, 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner, with the distribution being made between the Investors and the John Hancock Limited Partner in proportion to their respective Capital Contributions. Cash from the Sale of the last of the Partnership's properties is distributed in the same manner as Cash from Sales or Refinancings, except that before any other distribution is made to the Partners, each Partner shall first receive from such cash, an amount equal to the then positive balance, if any, in such Partner's Capital Account after crediting or charging to such account the profits or losses for tax purposes from such sale. To the extent, if any, that a Partner is entitled to receive a distribution of cash based upon a positive balance in its capital account prior to such distribution, such distribution will be credited against the amount of such cash the Partner would have been entitled to receive based upon the manner of distribution of Cash from Sales or Refinancings, as specified in the previous paragraph. Profits from the normal operations of the Partnership for each fiscal year are allocated to the Limited Partners and General Partner in the same amounts as Distributable Cash from Operations for that year. If such profits are less than Distributable Cash from Operations for any year, they are allocated in proportion to the amounts of Distributable Cash from Operations for that year. If such profits are greater than Distributable Cash from Operations for any year, they are allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner, with the allocation made between the John Hancock Limited Partner and the Investors in proportion to their respective Capital Contributions. Losses from the normal operations of the Partnership are allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner, with the allocation made between the John Hancock Limited Partner and the Investors in proportion to their respective Capital Contributions. Depreciation deductions are allocated 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Investors, and not to the John Hancock Limited Partner. 8 JOHN HANCOCK REALTY INCOME FUND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (A Massachusetts Limited Partnership) Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements (continued) (Unaudited) Note 2 - Distributions and Allocations (continued) - -------------------------------------- Profits and Losses from Sales or Refinancings are generally allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners. In connection with the sale of the last of the Partnership's properties, and therefore the dissolution of the Partnership, profits will be allocated to any Partners having a deficit balance in their Capital Account in an amount equal to the deficit balance. Any remaining profits will be allocated in the same order as cash from the sale would be distributed. 9 JOHN HANCOCK REALTY INCOME FUND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (A Massachusetts Limited Partnership) SIGNATURES ---------- Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this Report on Form 8-K to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, hereunto duly authorized, on the 14th day of October, 1997.
