The General Partners are Century Pension Income Fund XXIII ("XXIII") and Century Pension Income Fund XXIV ("XXIV"), California limited partnerships affiliated through their General Partners. Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks, money market funds and certificates of deposit with original maturities of less than 90 days. At certain times, the amount of cash deposited at a bank may exceed the limit on insured deposits. Tenant Security Deposits: The Partnership requires security deposits from lessees for the duration of the lease and such deposits are included in receivables and other assets. Deposits are refunded when the tenant vacates, provided the tenant has not damaged its space and is current on its rental payments. Leases: The Partnership leases certain commercial space to tenants under various lease terms. The leases are accounted for as operating leases in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 13, "Accounting for Leases." Some of the leases contain stated rental increases during their term. For leases with fixed rental increases, rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the lease. This straight-line basis recognized approximately $28,000 and $119,000 more in rental income than was collected in 1997 and 1996, respectively. This amount will be collected in future years as cash collections under the terms of the leases exceed the straight-line basis of revenue recognition. For all other leases, minimum rents are recognized over the terms of the leases. Investment Properties: Investment properties are stated at cost. Acquisition fees are capitalized as a cost of real estate. The Partnership records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. The Partnership has determined that Coral Palm Plaza with a carrying amount of $6,029,000 was impaired and wrote its value down by $2,067,000 to reflect its fair value at December 31, 1997 of $3,962,000. Depreciation: Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from four to thirty-nine years for buildings and improvements and related personal property. Deferred Leasing Commission: Leasing commissions, which are included in other assets, are deferred and amortized over the lives of the related leases, which range from one to eleven years. At December 31, 1997 and 1996 deferred leasing commissions totaled $324,000 and $221,000 and accumulated amortization totaled $104,000 and $85,000, respectively. Net Income (Loss) Allocation: Net income (loss) is allocated based on the ratio of each partner's capital contribution to the Joint Venture. Income Taxes: Taxable income or loss of the Partnership is reported in the income tax returns of its partners. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is made in the financial statements of the Partnership. Reclassification: Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996 and 1995 balances to conform to the 1997 presentation. NOTE B - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS During 1997 and 1996, the Partnership paid property management fees totaling $31,000 and $23,000, respectively, to an affiliate of the General Partner. These fees were allocated 66.67% to XXIII and 33.33% to XXIV, in accordance with the partnership agreement. NOTE C - PROVISION FOR IMPAIRMENT OF VALUE In December 1997, two significant tenants that had occupied 36,000 square feet (27% of leasable space) at Coral Palm Plaza moved out. The Partnership determined that, based on economic conditions at the time as well as projected future operational cash flows, a decline in value had occurred which was other than temporary. Accordingly, the property's carrying value was reduced to an amount equal to its estimated fair value and an impairment write down of $2,067,000 was recorded at December 31, 1997. NOTE D - TERMINATION AGREEMENT WITH FORMER TENANT In December 1994, the Partnership accepted a lease buy-out of $800,000 from a significant tenant that had occupied 27,000 square feet. The payment was received in 1995. During 1995, management re-leased all of the unoccupied space, on similar terms, and recognized the remaining portion of the lease buy- out in the amount of $699,000 as other income. In October 1995, the Partnership accepted a lease buy-out and termination agreement with a former tenant at the Partnership's property. The $300,000 termination payment, has been deferred and is being amortized into income on a straight-line basis over the remaining three years of the former tenant's lease. Management is currently attempting to re-lease the space. NOTE E - MINIMUM FUTURE RENTAL REVENUES Minimum future rental revenues from operating leases having non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year at December 31, 1997 are as follows: 1998 $1,043 1999 1,024 2000 943 2001 828 2002 759 Thereafter 2,042 Total $6,639 Rental revenue from one tenant was 22 percent, 12 percent and 20 percent of total rental revenues in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Rental revenue from another tenant was 13 percent, 12 percent and 19 percent of total rental revenues in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Rental revenues included percentage and other contingent rentals of $33,000 and $59,000 in 1996 and 1995, respectively. There was not any percentage or contingent rental revenue in 1997. Amortization of deferred leasing commissions totaled $39,000, $37,000 and $32,000 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively.
