MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Balcor Realty Investors 85-Series III A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership") was formed in 1984 to invest in and operate income-producing
real property. The Partnership raised $59,092,000 through the sale of Limited
Partnership Interests to the public and utilized these proceeds to acquire
eight real properties and a minority joint venture interest in one additional
real property. During prior years, titles to three of these properties were
relinquished through foreclosure. The Partnership continues to operate its five
remaining properties and its minority joint venture interest.
Inasmuch as the management's discussion and analysis below relates primarily to
the time period since the end of the last fiscal year, investors are encouraged
to review the financial statements and the management's discussion and analysis
contained in the annual report for 1994 for a more complete understanding of
the Partnership's financial position.
Summary of Operations
- - ---------------------
Improved operations at four of the Partnership's five properties resulted in
the Partnership recognizing net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 as
compared to a net loss for the same period in 1994. Further discussion of the
Partnership's operations are summarized below.
1995 Compared to 1994
- - ---------------------
Rental and service income and, consequently, property management fees increased
during the quarter ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994
as a result of higher average rental rates and stable occupancy at each of the
Partnership's five remaining properties.
Interest income on short-term investments increased during the quarter ended
March 31, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994 due to an increase in
short-term interest rates.
During December 1994, the North Hill Apartments mortgage loan was refinanced
and the remaining deferred expenses relating to the previous mortgage loan were
written-off. As a result, amortization expense decreased during the quarter
ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.
Real estate tax expense decreased during the quarter ended March 31, 1995 as
compared to the same period in 1994 as a result of decreases in the tax rates
at the Country Ridge and Park Place - Phase II Apartments and a decrease in the
assessed value at the North Hill Apartments.
Administrative expense decreased during the quarter ended March 31, 1995 as
compared to 1994 as a result of decreases in printing and portfolio management
costs, which was partially offset by an increase in legal fees.
The Partnership holds a minority interest in the Lakeville Resort Apartments.
The Partnership recognized a net loss from joint venture with an affiliate for
the quarter ended March 31, 1995 as compared to net income for the same period
in 1994 due to an increase in interest expense resulting from an interest rate
adjustment in accordance with the terms of the mortgage loan.
Improved operations at the North Hill and Shadowridge apartment complexes
resulted in affiliates' participation in income from joint ventures during the
quarter ended March 31, 1995 as compared to a loss in 1994.
Shadowridge Apartments is owned by a joint venture consisting of the
Partnership and an affiliate. In connection with a settlement reached with the
seller of the Shadowridge Apartments, the Partnership recognized an
extraordinary gain on forgiveness of debt in 1995 of $69,409, of which $20,823
represents the affiliate's share.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- - -------------------------------
The cash position of the Partnership increased slightly as of March 31, 1995 as
compared to December 31, 1994. The Partnership's cash flow provided by
operating activities was generated primarily from the Partnership's properties
and interest earned on short-term investments, and was partially offset by the
payment of administrative expenses. A portion of the net cash flow from
operating activities was used to fund investing activities consisting of a
capital contribution to a joint venture with an affiliate. This represents the
Partnership's share of a deposit required in connection with the potential
refinancing of the Lakeville Resort Apartment mortgage loan. In addition, a
portion of the cash flow from operating activities was used for financing
activities consisting of distributions to joint venture partners-affiliates and
principal payments on the Partnership's mortgage notes payable.
The Partnership classifies the cash flow performance of its properties as
either positive, a marginal deficit or a significant deficit, each after
consideration of debt service payments unless otherwise indicated. A deficit is
considered to be significant if it exceeds $250,000 annually or 20% of the
property's rental and service income. The Partnership defines cash flow
generated from its properties as an amount equal to the property's revenue
receipts less property related expenditures, which include debt service
payments. For the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, all of the
Partnership's properties generated positive cash flow. In addition, Lakeville
Resort Apartments, in which the Partnership holds a minority joint venture
interest, also generated positive cash flow for the quarters ended March 31,
1995 and 1994.
While the cash flow of the Partnership's properties has improved, the General
Partner continues to pursue a number of actions aimed at further improving the
cash flow of the Partnership's properties including refinancing mortgage loans,
improving property operating performance, and seeking rent increases where
market conditions allow. As of March 31, 1995, the occupancy rates of the
Partnership's properties ranged from 97% to 99%. Despite recent improvements in
the local economies and rental markets where certain of the Partnership's
properties are located, the General Partner believes that continued ownership
of many of the properties is in the best interest of the Partnership in order
to maximize returns to Limited Partners. As a result, the Partnership will
continue to own these properties for longer than the holding period for the
assets originally described in the prospectus.
Each of the Partnership's properties is owned through the use of third party
mortgage loan financing and, therefore, the Partnership is subject to the
financial obligations required by such loans. In certain instances, it may be
difficult for the Partnership to refinance a property in an amount sufficient
to retire in full the current mortgage financing with respect to the property.
In the event negotiations with the existing lender for a loan modification or
with new lenders for a refinancing are unsuccessful, the Partnership may sell
the collateral property or other properties to satisfy an obligation, or may
relinquish title to the collateral property in satisfaction of the outstanding
mortgage loan balance. As a result of the General Partner's successful efforts
to obtain loan modifications, as well as refinancings of many existing loans
with new lenders, the Partnership has no third-party financing which matures
prior to 1996. However, the joint venture that owns the Lakeville Resort
Apartments, of which the Partnership is a minority joint venture partner, is
currently evaluating options to refinance the $18,900,000 mortgage note which
carries an interest rate based on a market index. The Partnership has remitted
$342,760 as its share of a refundable good faith deposit to a potential lender.
Although investors have received certain tax benefits, the Partnership has not
commenced distributions. Future distributions will depend on improved cash flow
from the Partnership's remaining properties, proceeds from future property
sales, successful mortgage loan refinancings and sufficient Partnership
reserves, as to all of which there can be no assurances.
Inflation has several types of potentially conflicting impacts on real estate
investments. Short-term inflation can increase real estate operating costs
which may or may not be recovered through increased rents and/or sales prices,
depending on general or local economic conditions. In the long-term, inflation
can be expected to increase operating costs and replacement costs and may lead
to increased rental revenues and real estate values.
