HANOVER LEASE INCOME LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (A Massachusetts Limited Partnership) Notes to Financial Statements Quarters Ended March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996 (Unaudited) (1) Organization and Partnership Matters The foregoing financial statements of Hanover Lease Income Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q and reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain note disclosures which are normally required under generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. It is recommended that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996. (2) Investment Property At March 31, 1997, the Partnership owned capital equipment with a cost basis of $5,032,434. All purchases of capital equipment are subject to a 4.75% acquisition fee paid to the General Partner. (3) Related Party Transactions Fees, commissions and other expenses paid or accrued by the Partnership to the General Partner or affiliates of the General Partner for the quarters ended March 31 are as follows: 1997 1996 ---- ---- Management fees $ 1,711 $ 8,682 Reimbursable expenses paid 35,633 26,093 ------------- ------------ $ 37,344 $ 34,775 ============= ============ Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner is entitled to an Equipment Acquisition Fee of 4.75% of the purchase price paid by the Partnership for the equipment. The General Partner is also entitled to a management fee equal to 5% of the monthly rental billings. Also, the Partnership reimburses the General Partner and their affiliates for certain expenses incurred by them in connection with the operation of the Partnership. HANOVER LEASE INCOME LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (A Massachusetts Limited Partnership) Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Unaudited) Results of Operations The following discussion relates to the Partnership's operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, in comparison to the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The Partnership realized net income of $109,567 and $189,806 for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Rental income decreased $139,418 or 80% between the quarter periods. The decrease is primarily due to lower rental rates obtained on equipment lease extensions and remarketings resulting after the initial lease term expires and due to a decrease in the overall size of the equipment portfolio. Other income is the result of helicopter inspection fees and flight time charges, and includes a reduction of an overstated liability in the amount of $41,630, which was recorded in a prior period. Interest income increased as a result of higher average short-term investment balances. Total costs and expenses increased $7,959 or 26% between 1997 and 1996. The increase in general and administrative expense is attributed to an increase in the allocable salaries of the accounting and reporting personnel of the General Partner, which are reimbursable by the various partnerships under management. Management fees decreased in relation to the decline in rental income. The Partnership recorded net income per Limited Partnership Unit of $1.85 and $3.18 for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Liquidity and Capital Resources For the quarter ended March 31, 1997, rental revenue generated from the operating leases and sales proceeds from equipment sales were the primary sources of funds for the Partnership. As the equipment leases terminate, the General Partner determines if the equipment will be extended to the same lessee, remarketed to another lessee, or sold. This decision is made upon analyzing which option generates the most favorable result. Consistent with prior periods, the Partnership's operating activities resulted in a decrease in rental revenue due to lease expirations and resulting equipment sales, and due to lower rental rates obtained on remarketed equipment. The helicopter lease with Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation expired in January, 1997. It is anticipated that the helicopter will be sold and the Partnership will be liquidated soon thereafter. HANOVER LEASE INCOME LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (A Massachusetts Limited Partnership) Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Unaudited) The Partnership's investing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 resulted in sales of fully depreciated equipment, generating $43,000 in sales proceeds. The Partnership has no material capital commitments and will not in the future due to the Partnership having fulfilled its capital expenditure commitments in prior years. During the fourth quarter of 1995, the General Partner announced its intentions of winding down the operations of the Partnership. It is anticipated that substantially all of the assets will be liquidated and the proceeds will be used to settle all outstanding liabilities and make a final distribution to the Partners during 1997. Cash distributions are currently halted in an effort to minimize costs and accumulate cash in anticipation of a final distribution to the Partners once the Partnership has been liquidated. The effects of inflation have not been significant to the Partnership and are not expected to have any material impact in future periods.
