Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of ConCap Equities, Inc. (the "General Partner"), all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1997. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1996. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996 information to conform to the 1997 presentation. Limited Partnership Units The Partnership has issued two classes of Units, "A" Units and "B" Units. The two classes of Units are entitled to different rights and priorities as to cash distributions and partnership allocations. The Units represent economic rights attributable to the limited partnership interests in the Partnership and entitle the holders thereof ("Unitholders") to participate in certain allocations and distributions of the Partnership. NOTE B - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the General Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all partnership activities. The Partnership paid property management fees based upon collected gross rental revenues for property management services as noted below for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Such fees are included in operating expense on the consolidated statement of operations and are reflected in the following table. The Limited Partnership Agreement ("Agreement") provides for reimbursement to the General Partner and its affiliates for costs incurred in connection with the administration of Partnership activities. The General Partner and its affiliates received reimbursements and fees as reflected in the following table: For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 1996 (in thousands) Property management fees $185 $179 Reimbursements for services of affiliates (1) 91 140 Partnership management fees (2) 123 41 (1) Included in "reimbursements for services of affiliates" for 1997 and 1996 is approximately $10,500 and $51,000, respectively, in reimbursements for construction oversight costs. (2) The Agreement provides that a fee equal to 9% of distributable cash from operations (as defined in the Agreement) received by the limited partners be paid to the General Partner for executive and administrative management services. For the period of January 1, 1996 to August 31, 1997, the Partnership insured its properties under a master policy through an agency and insurer unaffiliated with the General Partner. An affiliate of the General Partner acquired, in the acquisition of a business, certain financial obligations from an insurance agency which was later acquired by the agent who placed the master policy. The current agent assumed the financial obligations to the affiliate of the General Partner who receives payments on these obligations from the agent. The amount of the Partnership's insurance premiums accruing to the benefit of the affiliate of the General Partner by virtue of the agent's obligations is not significant. NOTE C - COMMITMENT The Partnership is required by the Agreement to maintain working capital reserves of not less than 5% of Net Invested Capital, as defined in the Agreement. In the event expenditures are made from this reserve, operating revenue shall be allocated to such reserve to the extent necessary to maintain the foregoing level. Reserves, including cash and cash equivalents and investments totaling approximately $917,000, exceeded the reserve requirement of approximately $759,000 at September 30, 1997. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION The Partnership's investment properties consist of three apartment complexes. The following table sets forth the average occupancy of the properties for each of the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996: Average Occupancy Property 1997 1996 Carlin Manor Apartments Columbus, Ohio 90% 90% Hunt Club Apartments Indianapolis, Indiana 92% 95% Shadow Brook Apartments West Valley City, Utah 97% 98% The Partnership's net loss for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997, was approximately $117,000 and $12,000, respectively, compared to net income of approximately $13,000 and $84,000, respectively, for the same periods of 1996. The decrease in net income is primarily due to the loss on disposal of property related to the replacement of roofs at the Hunt Club and Carlin Manor properties in 1997. A portion of the original cost of roofs, which was not fully depreciated, was written off during the third quarter of 1997 and approximated $86,000. In addition to the loss on disposal, there was an increase in operating and partnership management fee expenses. The increase in operating expenses is due to an increase in 1997 utility rates at Hunt Club, along with an increase in concessions given in an effort to increase the occupancy levels at Hunt Club. The increase in partnership management fees is the result of an increase in distributions made to the limited partners from "cash available for distribution" (as defined in the Agreement, see "Item 1. Note B - Related Party Transactions"). Partially offsetting these increases in net loss was an increase in revenues. The increase in revenues is due to an increase in rental income, interest income and other income. The increase in rental income is primarily due to an increase in rental rates at Shadow Brook Apartments which more than offset the slight decrease in average occupancy. The increase in other income is due to an increase in deposit forfeitures, lease cancellation fees, and cleaning and damage fees primarily due to an increase in turnover at Shadow Brook Apartments. Interest income increased due to an increase in invested cash and cash equivalents and interest earned on the restricted escrows for the Carlin Manor Apartments which were established with the 1996 refinancing of this property. As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the General Partner monitors the rental market environment of its investment properties to assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in expense. As part of this plan, the General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from the burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a high overall occupancy level. However, due to changing market conditions, which can result in the use of rental concessions and rental reductions to offset softening market conditions, there is no guarantee that the General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan. At September 30, 1997, the Partnership had unrestricted cash of approximately $917,000 compared to approximately $1,224,000 at September 30, 1996. Net cash provided by operating activities increased primarily due to the decrease in cash used for payment of accounts payable and other liabilities related to the timing of payments, and a decrease in the escrow for taxes and insurance. Net cash used in investing activities increased due to a decrease in proceeds from the sale of investments and increases in property improvements and replacements and deposits to restricted escrows. These increases were partially offset by increases in receipts from restricted escrows. Net cash used in financing activities increased due to an increase in distributions to partners. This increase was partially offset by decreases in the payments made on mortgage notes payable and in loan costs paid. The Partnership has no material capital projects scheduled to be performed in 1997, although certain routine capital expenditures and maintenance expenses have been budgeted. These capital expenditures and maintenance expenses will be incurred only if cash is available from operations, received from the capital reserve account or available from cash and cash equivalents on hand. The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital expenditures required at the properties to adequately maintain the physical assets and other operating needs of the Partnership. Such assets are currently thought to be sufficient for any near-term needs of the Partnership. The mortgage indebtedness of approximately $12,302,000 is amortized over varying periods and requires balloon payments in October 2000 and November 2003 at which time the properties will be refinanced or sold. During the first nine months of 1997, a distribution of approximately $1,363,000 was made to the "A" Unit limited partners, and a distribution of approximately $14,000 was made to the General Partner. A distribution of approximately $454,000 was made to the "A" Unit limited partners and a distribution of approximately $5,000 was made to the General Partner during the first nine months of 1996. Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations, refinancings, property sales and cash reserves. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
