3. Equipment (continued)
During the three months ended March 31, 1994, the Partnership
disposed of two trailers with a net book value of $17,717 for
proceeds of $12,500. Proceeds of $48,000 were received for
equipment disposed of in the fourth quarter of 1993.
The Partnership has entered into its 10th year of operation and
the liquidation phase has begun. Therefore, equipment will be
marketed for sale as current lease terms expire.
12
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
(A) Sources
The Partnerships' primary source of liquidity is operating cash flow. Proceeds
realized from the sale or disposal of equipment are generally distributed to the
partners. The Partnerships' sources of capital have included proceeds from their
offering of limited partnership units.
(B) Asset Sales
Equipment sales and dispositions prior to the Partnerships' planned liquidation
phase generally result from either the exercise by lessees of fair market value
purchase options provided for in certain leases, or the payment of stipulated
loss values on equipment lost or disposed of during the time it is subject to
lease agreements. Such disposal of equipment results unpredictably from the
wear, tear, and general risk of normal operations. During the three months ended
March 31, 1995, TEP VIIB sold or disposed of six trailers for $44,000, and four
marine containers for $4,172, and TEP VIIC sold or disposed of six trailers for
$45,450, and four marine containers for $5,253.
The Partnership has entered into its 10th year of operation and the liquidation
phase has begun. Therefore, equipment will be marketed for sale as current lease
terms expire.
(C) Market Values
At least annually, the General Partner prepares an evaluation of the net
realizable value and fair market value of the Partnerships' equipment
portfolios, using, among other sources, independent third-party appraisals,
values reported in trade publications, and comparative values from armslength
transactions for similar equipment as the basis for its evaluation.
Concurrently, the General Partner evaluates whether the current fair market
value of equipment represents the effects of current market conditions or
permanent impairment of value. Equipment whose carrying value is determined to
be permanently impaired, without possibility of being leased at an acceptable
rate, has its book value adjusted to its estimated net realizable value.
The depressed nature of certain transportation sectors, combined
with the impact of certain regulatory policies, has led to volatility in fair
market values for certain of the Partnerships' equipment. Exacerbating this
problem is the perception in some industry sectors that great uncertainty exists
as to when potential recovery to acceptable performance and residual levels may
occur. Further, the current recovery does not appear to fit any historical
pattern. These uncertain market conditions have caused the General Partner to
continuously monitor the changes in market values for the Partnerships'
equipment, and on occasion, the General Partner has made adjustments to
Partnerships' equipment book values to reflect this volatility. While there has
continued to be a general decline in certain market values, the fair market
values of the assets still exceed the Partnerships' carrying value. No
adjustments to reflect impairment of equipment carrying value were recorded
during the first three months of 1995.
13
Comparison of the Partnerships' Operating Results for the Three Months Ended
March 31, 1995 and 1994.
TEP VIIB:
(A) Revenues
Total revenues of $201,819 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, increased from
$174,216 for the same period in 1994 due primarily to a gain on the sale of
equipment compared to a loss recorded during the first quarter of 1994.
(1) Lease revenue increased to $183,663 in the first quarter of 1995, from
$174,525 in the first quarter of 1994.
The following table presents lease revenues by equipment type:
For the three months
ended March 31,
1995 1994
Trailers $ 143,910 $ 143,467
Aircraft 24,770 24,770
Rail equipment 7,903 (64)
Marine containers 7,080 6,352
--------- ---------
$ 183,663 $ 174,525
========= =========
Significant revenue component changes resulted primarily from:
(a) Railcar revenue increased due primarily to the re-lease of railcars
which were off-lease during the first quarter of 1994, and a rental credit which
was given to former lessee in the first quarter of 1994.
(2) Interest and other income increased to $5,326 in the first quarter of 1995
from $2,088 in the first quarter of 1994 primarily due to a higher interest rate
earned on investments in the first quarter of 1995.
(3) Gain on disposition of equipment of $12,830 in the first quarter of 1995 was
realized from the sale of six trailers and four marine containers. In the first
quarter of 1994, the Partnership realized a loss of $2,397 from the sale of two
trailers.
(B) Expenses
Total expenses of $221,890 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 increased from
$166,434 for the same period in 1994. The increase in 1995 expenses was
primarily attributable to increases in bad debt expense, repairs and maintenance
expense, and general and administrative expense partially offset by decreases in
depreciation and management fees.
14
(1) Direct operating expenses (defined as repairs and maintenance expenses)
increased to $44,422 in the first quarter of 1995, from $21,292 in the same
period in 1994. This increase is primarily attributable to the trailers coming
off term leases and requiring refurbishment prior to transitioning into the
short-term rental facilities operated by an affiliate of the General Partner.
(2) Indirect operating expenses (defined as depreciation expense, management
fees to affiliate, bad debt expenses, and general and administrative expenses)
increased to $177,468 in the first quarter of 1995, from $145,142 in the first
quarter of 1994. This change resulted primarily from:
(a) an increase of $31,521 in bad debt expense resulting from the
evaluation of collectibility of trade accounts receivables;
(b) an increase of $6,382 in general and administrative expenses
relating to increased indirect costs associated with the additional trailers in
the operations of the PLM-affiliated short-term rental facilities;
(c) a decrease of $4,159 in depreciation expense due to the sale or
disposal of trailers and marine containers during the last three quarters of
1994 and the first quarter of 1995;
(d) a decrease of $1,418 in management fees resulting from lower
operating cash flow primarily associated with lower lease revenues on fixed-term
trailers. Management fees are calculated as the greater of 10% of the
Partnership's operating cash flow, or 1/12 of 1/2% of the Partnership's Gross
Proceeds as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement.
(C) Net Income (Loss)
The Partnership's net loss of $20,071 in the first quarter of 1995, decreased
from net income of $7,782 in the first quarter of 1994. The Partnership's
ability to operate or liquidate assets, secure leases, and re-lease those assets
whose leases expire during the duration of the Partnership is subject to many
factors, and the Partnership's performance in the first quarter of 1995 is not
necessarily indicative of future periods. In the first quarter of 1995, the
Partnership distributed $98,056 to the Limited Partners, or $4.40 per Limited
Partnership Unit.
TEP VIIC:
(A) Revenues
Total revenues of $344,641 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, decreased from
$431,111 for the same period in 1994. The decrease was primarily due to lower
lease revenues.
(1) Lease revenue decreased to $314,676 in the first quarter of 1995 from
$377,294 in the first quarter of 1994.
15
The following table presents lease revenues by equipment type:

(a) Trailers revenue decreased due to 28 trailers being off-lease
during the first quarter of 1995, and the sale of trailers during the last three
quarters of 1994, and the first quarter of 1995.
(b) Aircraft revenue decreased due to a reduced rental rate of one
lessee.
(2) Interest and other income increased to $11,274 in the first quarter of 1995
from $4,042 in the first quarter of 1994. The increase was due to a higher
interest rate earned on investments in the first quarter of 1995.
(3) Gain on disposition of equipment of $18,691 in the first quarter of 1995 was
realized from the sale of six trailers and four marine containers. In the first
quarter of 1994, the Partnership realized a gain of $49,775 from the sale of two
trailers.
(B) Expenses
Total expenses of $257,859 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, decreased from
$321,216 for the same period in 1994. The decrease in 1995 expenses was
primarily attributable to decreases in general and administrative expense,
repairs and maintenance expense, depreciation expenses, and management fees to
affiliates.
(1) Direct operating expenses (defined as repairs and maintenance expenses)
decreased to $42,929 in the first quarter of 1995, from $58,068 in the same
period in 1994 due to disposition of trailers and containers during the last
three quarters of 1994 and the first quarter of 1995.
(2) Indirect operating expenses (defined as depreciation expense, management
fees to affiliate, bad debt expenses, and general and administrative expenses)
decreased to $214,930 in the first quarter of 1995 from $263,148 in the first
quarter of 1994. This change resulted primarily from:
(a) a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $24,975
resulting from decreases in indirect costs associated with the operations of the
PLM- affiliated short-term rental facilities.
16
(b) a decrease of $15,066 in depreciation expense due to the sale or
disposal of trailers and marine containers during 1994 and 1995;
(c) a decrease in management fees of $8,177 resulting from lower
operating cash flow primarily associated with lower lease revenues on fixed-term
trailers. Management fees are calculated as the greater of 10% of the
Partnership's Operating Cash Flow, or 1/12 of 1/2% of the Partnership's Gross
Proceeds as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement;
(C) Net Income
The Partnership's net income decreased to $86,782 in the first quarter of 1995,
from $109,895 in the first quarter of 1994. The Partnership's ability to operate
or liquidate assets, secure leases, and re-lease those assets whose leases
expire during the duration of the Partnership is subject to many factors, and
the Partnership's performance in the first quarter of 1995 is not necessarily
indicative of future periods. In the first quarter of 1995, the Partnership
distributed $360,129 to the Limited Partners, or $10.68 per Limited Partnership
Unit.
Trends
Inflation and changing prices did not materially impact the
Partnerships' revenues or expenses during the reported periods.
