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 six months ended June 30, 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 six months and quarter ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the same periods 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 six months and quarter ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the same periods 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 recognized. As a result, amortization expense decreased during the six months and quarter ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the same periods in 1994. Real estate tax expense decreased during the six months and quarter ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the same periods in 1994 as a result of decreases in the tax rates at the Country Ridge and Park Place - Phase II apartment complexes and a decrease in the assessed value at the North Hill Apartments. The Partnership holds a minority interest in the Lakeville Resort Apartments. The loss from joint venture with an affiliate decreased for the six months and quarter ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the same periods in 1994 due to an increase in average rental rates and a decrease in exterior painting costs, which were partially offset by an increase in interest expense resulting from an interest rate adjustment in accordance with the terms of the former mortgage loan. In June 1995, the mortgage note was refinanced with a new lender. In connection with this transaction, the Partnership recognized an extraordinary debt extinguishment expense of $58,521. Improved operations at the North Hill and Shadowridge apartment complexes resulted in affiliates' participation in income from joint ventures during the six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to a loss for the same period in 1994 and resulted in an increase in affiliates' participation in income from joint ventures during the quarter ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the same period 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 as of June 30, 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 net capital contribution to a joint venture with an affiliate. 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 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 six months ended June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 1995, the occupancy rates of the Partnership's properties ranged from 95% 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. The Lakeville Resort Apartments is owned by a joint venture consisting of the Partnership and an affiliate. In June 1995 the mortgage note was refinanced with a new lender. The interest rate decreased from a variable rate of approximately 10.4% to a fixed rate of 8.2%, the maturity date was extended from April 1997 to July 2030 and the monthly payment of principal and interest decreased from a variable payment of $208,555 to a fixed payment of $151,727. A portion of the proceeds from the new $20,932,600 first mortgage loan was used to repay the existing mortgage note of $18,728,280 as well as pay deferred loan fees of $499,868 and fund an improvement escrow of $1,604,551. 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.
