Item 1. Business.
(a) General Development of Business.
Concord Milestone Plus, L.P. (the "Partnership") was organized
as a Delaware limited partnership on December 12, 1986 with CM Plus Corporation,
a Delaware corporation (the "General Partner"), as its general partner. The
General Partner is wholly owned by Concord Assets Group, Inc. ("Concord"). The
Partnership is engaged in the business of owning and operating three shopping
centers. CMP Beneficial Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Concord, was
organized under Delaware law in December 1986 for the sole purpose of holding
limited partnership interests in the Partnership for the benefit of holders of
the Class A Interests and Class B Interests and has engaged in no business
activities other than fulfilling its obligations under the Amended and Restated
Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership (the "Partnership
Agreement").
(b) Industry Segment Information.
The Partnership has only one industry segment, commercial real
estate. See Item 6, "Selected Financial Data", of this report for a summary of
the Partnership's operations for the last five fiscal years.
(c) Narrative Description of Business.
The Partnership was formed for the purpose of investing in
existing income-producing commercial and industrial real estate, such as
shopping centers, office buildings, free-standing commercial buildings,
warehouses and distribution centers. The Partnership currently owns and operates
three shopping centers, one located in Searcy, Arkansas (the "Searcy Property"),
one located in Valencia, California (the "Valencia Property") and one located in
Green Valley, Arizona (the "Green Valley Property").
The amount of revenues attributable to the Searcy Property, the
Valencia Property and the Green Valley Property (collectively, the "Properties")
from tenants not affiliated with the Partnership was (i) $415,505, $1,336,478,
$1,299,161 respectively, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 (ii)
$441,946, $1,299,922 and $1,228,007, respectively, for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1999; and (iii) $438,026, $1,347,971 and $1,296,987, respectively,
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. There are no affiliated tenants.
-1-
See Item 2, "Properties", of this Report for additional
information as to the Properties, including a description of the competitive
conditions affecting them.
(d) Employees
The Partnership employs six people at the Green Valley Property
who provide general maintenance and security services. Milestone Property
Management, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partner, provides all management
services for the Partnership and is reimbursed for its cost of administrative
services provided to the Partnership, including the pro rata cost of personnel.
Aside from its officers, the General Partner has no employees. See Item 11,
"Compensation", of this Report.
Item 2. Properties.
The Properties consist of three shopping centers: the Searcy Property, the
Valencia Property and the Green Valley Property. For the purposes of this
section, the following is a glossary of terms:
a. Occupancy rate - The rate of the actual leased area (square
footage) to gross leaseable area (square footage) as of the
end of the fiscal year (December 31).
b. Leasable area - The area (square footage) for which rent is
charged.
c. Average effective annual rental per square foot - The
average rental rate received per square foot of leased space
taking rental concessions and discounts into consideration.
d. Total rent - Minimum annual base rent plus percentage rental
revenue.
Mortgage Loans
As of September 30, 1997, the Partnership closed on new mortgage
loans (the "Mortgage Loans") for the Properties in the amounts of $2,865,000,
$8,445,000 and $5,400,000, respectively. All three Mortgage Loans are secured by
first mortgages. Prior to September 30, 1997, the Properties were encumbered by
mortgages granted by the Partnership to the holders of the Partnership's
Escalating Rate Collateralized Mortgage Bonds due November 30, 1997 (the
"Bonds"). The Partnership used the proceeds of the Mortgage Loans and available
cash to redeem all of the outstanding Bonds.
The Mortgage Loans and related terms at December 31, 2000 for the
Properties are summarized as follows:
Principal Monthly
Balance at Payments of
December Interest Principal
Property/Location 31, 2000 Rate % and Interest
- ----------------- -------------- ------ ------------
Searcy, AR $2,780,475 8.125 $21,640
Valencia, CA 8,105,294 8.125 65,881
Green Valley, AZ 5,244,964 8.250 41,252
----------- ------
Total $16,130,733 $128,773
=========== =======
-2-
The Mortgage Loans require payments of principal and interest
through and including September 1, 2007. On October 1, 2007, the balance of
principal and interest is estimated to be $2,505,981, $7,003,227 and $4,738,096
for the Searcy, Valencia and Green Valley Properties, respectively, and will be
due and payable. Subsequent to October 31, 2003 and prior to May 31, 2007, each
Mortgage Loan may be prepaid in whole but not in part on any payment date with a
prepayment penalty equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the outstanding principal
balance at such time, or (ii) the excess, if any, of the present value of the
remaining scheduled principal and interest payments (including any balloon
payment), discounted at the Discount Rate (as defined below), over the amount of
principal being prepaid. The Mortgage Loans may be prepaid without penalty on
any payment date after May 31, 2007. The Discount Rate is a rate determined as
of the week ending prior to the prepayment date and is based on the published
rates of U.S. Government securities having maturities approximating the maturity
date of the Mortgage Loans. The Mortgage Loans are each secured by first
mortgages on all three of the Partnership's Properties and a default under any
of the Mortgage Loans constitutes a default on all of the Mortgage Loans. Each
mortgage may be released at the Partnership's option after the corresponding
Mortgage Loan is fully paid provided that no event of default exists under any
of the Mortgage Loans, the mortgagee has not given the Partnership notice of any
event which, with the passage of time, would constitute an event of default, and
certain other conditions are satisfied.
In connection with the Green Valley Mortgage Loan, the
Partnership has deposited $150,000 into an escrow account (the "Green Valley
Escrow Account") with the Lender. The funds held in the Green Valley Escrow
Account may be released upon the execution of a new lease for the major tenant
space, with a termination date of July 31, 2004 or later, and the satisfaction
of certain other conditions.
CM Plus Corporation, the general partner of the Partnership,
guarantees certain limited recourse obligations under the Mortgage Loans.
The Searcy Property
Searcy, Arkansas
Location. The Searcy Property is situated on an irregularly
shaped parcel of approximately 10.78 acres, which has frontages on Race Avenue
and Frontage Road in the City of Searcy, Arkansas. Searcy, the county seat of
White County, is located in the central portion of the State of Arkansas,
approximately 50 miles northeast of Little Rock, Arkansas. The Searcy Property
is part of a two-mile stretch of commercial development along Race Avenue that
is the main shopping area for the city, county and surrounding areas. Searcy's
marketing area includes all of White County and portions of surrounding
counties.
The Searcy Property is part of a larger shopping complex known
as the Town and Country Plaza. In addition to the Searcy Property, the Town and
Country Plaza consists of an approximately seven acre parcel (formerly the site
of a free-standing Wal-Mart department store which is now sub-divided into four
retail stores) and five adjacent out parcels totaling 3.86 acres.
Description. The Searcy Property, which was completed in July 1985, is a
one-story masonry and steel building whose exterior is painted concrete block
with masonry, brick and glass fronts. The Searcy Property contains 78,436 gross
leasable square feet divided into eleven units. The entire Town and Country
Plaza has parking for 970 cars of which approximately 570 parking spaces are
allocated to the Searcy Property. In the opinion of the General Partner, the
Searcy Property is adequately insured.
-3-
Taxes. The Partnership's adjusted federal income tax basis for
the Searcy Property is approximately $2,983,000, of which $430,000 is allocated
to land and $2,553,000 to the building and improvements. For financial statement
purposes, the Partnership depreciates the cost of the building over 31.5 years
and improvements over 5 to 10 years using the straight-line method of cost
recovery.
Competition. There are three shopping centers within two miles
to the west of the Town and Country Plaza on Race Avenue. The first shopping
center consists of a Goody's department store and a vacant furniture store. The
second shopping center consists of a Fred's discount store, Warehouse Foods, a
Sears catalog store and two satellite stores. The third center consists of a
Kroger food store and a Revco drugstore. Directly across the highway from the
Searcy Property is a Wal-Mart superstore. This Wal-Mart, relocated from the Town
and Country Plaza in 1992. Books-A-Million, Big Lots, Hibetts Sports and TSC
Tractor Supply currently occupy Wal-Mart's former space in the Town and Country
Plaza.
Operating and Tenant Information. As of March 1, 2001, there
were ten tenants, including two anchor tenants, at the Searcy Property. The
anchor tenants are J.C. Penney department store and Dunlap Co. The other eight
tenants provide a variety of goods and services. The occupancy rate was 78.8%,
95.5% and 95.5% as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Dunlap
entered into a lease of a 15,600 square foot store space, raising the occupancy
rate to 98.7% as of March 1, 2001.
The tables on pages 7 and 8 further describe and summarize
certain operating data and tenant information for the Property as of December
31, 2000.
Old Orchard Shopping Center
Valencia, California
Location. The Valencia Property is situated on an approximately
9.94-acre parcel that has frontages on Lyons Avenue and Orchard Village Road in
the town of Valencia, California. Valencia is located in the Santa Clarita
Valley in Los Angeles County, approximately 35 miles north of Los Angeles. Old
Orchard Shopping Center is located on the northwest corner of Lyons Avenue and
Orchard Village Road in a heavily developed commercial area. Lyons Avenue is
improved with shopping centers, fast food restaurants, housing developments and
free standing convenience stores. The surrounding area is densely populated with
apartments, condominiums and single family residences.
Description. Old Orchard Shopping center is an eight building,
one-story masonry and steel shopping center complex that was originally
constructed in 1965. During 1985 and 1986 the shopping center was renovated and
enlarged to 103,413 square feet of gross leasable area. The exterior
construction is pre-cast concrete, fluted block and decorative tile. The
shopping center has over 500 parking spaces. In the opinion of the General
Partner, the Valencia Property is adequately insured.
Taxes. The Partnership's adjusted federal income tax basis for
the Valencia Property is $10,628,000, of which $6,500,000 is allocated to land
and $4,128,000 is allocated to the buildings and improvements. For financial
statement purposes the Partnership depreciates the cost of the buildings over
31.5 years and improvements over 5 to 10 years using the straight-line method of
cost recovery.
Competition. In 1996, a 78,000 square foot shopping center
opened on Old Orchard Street across from the Valencia Property. This center
includes a 46,000 square foot Ralph's Supermarket, a 16,000 square foot
drugstore and 16,000 square feet of smaller stores. This shopping center has had
an adverse impact on tenant sales but it has not materially adversely affected
the occupancy rate at the Valencia Property.
-4-
Within two miles of the Valencia Property there are competing shopping
facilities at Newhall Plaza with a Von's Food Store and 10 satellite stores,
Granary Square with a Hughes Food Market, Long's Drugstore and 26 satellite

The tables on pages 7 and 8 further describe and summarize
certain operating data and tenant information for the Property as of December

Green Valley Mall
Green Valley, Arizona
Location. The Green Valley Property, a mall complex known as the
Green Valley Mall, is situated on an approximately 21.31-acre parcel in the Town
of Green Valley, Arizona. Green Valley is a planned adult community located in
Pima County in the Santa Cruz River Valley approximately 25 miles south of
Tucson. Green Valley has two hotels and a number of office buildings, several
community centers and six 18 hole golf courses. The Green Valley Property is
located at intersection 65 of Interstate 19 and Esperenza Boulevard and serves
Pima County, as well as Santa Cruz County to the south with additional access
from La Canada Road.
Description. Green Valley Mall is an open-air shopping complex
originally built in the 1960's and expanded at various times throughout the
1970's and 1980's. The shopping center is comprised of several buildings,
including some that are free standing, totaling 194,750 gross leasable square
feet (adjusted by 1,800 square feet representing the mall office). The exterior
construction is a combination of adobe block, split face block and painted
concrete block. The mall has approximately 975 parking spaces. In the opinion of
the General Partner, the Green Valley Property is adequately insured.
Taxes. The Partnership's adjusted federal income tax basis for
the Green Valley Property is $9,174,000, of which $5,100,000 is allocated to
land and $4,074,000 to the buildings and improvements. For financial statement
purposes, the Partnership depreciates the cost of the buildings over 31.5 years
and improvements over 5 to 10 years using the straight-line method of cost
recovery.
Competition. The Green Valley Property competes directly with
the 142,500 square foot Continental Shopping Plaza located at Continental Road
and Interstate 19 approximately one mile south of the Green Valley Property. The
Continental Shopping Plaza is anchored by a Safeway Supermarket. There is a
shopping center located 3 miles to the north of the Green Valley Property in the
newly incorporated town of Sahuarita. This shopping center includes a 65,000
square foot Wal-Mart Department Store and a 42,000 square foot Bashas' Food
Store as anchor tenants plus 25,000 square feet of space for local tenants.
Another center located to the north of the Green Valley Property, closed during
1995 and was anchored by a 45,000 square foot Kmart and 10,000 square feet of
space for local tenants. In mid summer 2000, a six screen multiplex theater
opened adjacent to Kmart. Since the incorporation of this town, several large
areas have been rezoned for commercial development. One shopping area located
2.5 miles north of Green Valley, called "The Quorum", opened within the last two
years. Also in 2002 a Safeway Supermarket is planned to be built 2 miles north
of the Green Valley property.
-5-
Operating and Tenant Information. As of March 1, 2001, there
were 71 tenants, including two anchor tenants, at the Green Valley Property. The
two anchor tenants include a Beall's outlet store and an Ace Hardware store. The
third anchor tenant space is currently unoccupied. The other 69 tenants provide
a variety of goods and services. The occupancy rate was 70.73%, 70.7%, and 86.5%
in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.
During February 1999, the Partnership received notice from Abco,
the principal anchor tenant at the Green Valley Property, that Abco would not be
renewing its lease at the expiration of its term on July 31, 1999. Abco vacated
its space in May, 1999. The Partnership retained a large regional real estate
brokerage firm to help market the space. Such brokerage firm was replaced in
2000 by another large regional brokerage firm. Each of the brokerage firms have
shown the space to several qualified prospective tenants. No replacement tenant
has yet been identified. The plan to build Safeway Supermarket in the year 2002
near Green Valley Mall will also have an adverse effect on subleasing the Abco
space. Many of the tenants at the Green Valley Property have short term leases.
It is not possible to determine the long-term effects of the vacancy of the Abco
space. Currently, however, the vacancy of the Abco space did not have a material
adverse effect on the results of operations at the Green Valley Property by
impairing the Partnership's ability to retain other tenants or to renew their
leases on favorable terms, by reducing traffic at the Property and negatively
affecting percentage rents. In addition, the Partnership will incur expenses in
releasing the Abco space and cannot predict how soon such space will be leased
and the terms of such new lease. Currently, approximately $150,000 of the
Partnership's working capital is being held in escrow in connection with the
refinancing by the holder of the first mortgage on the Green Valley Property
(the "Lender") pending the resolution of the vacancy in this unoccupied anchor
tenant space.
The tables on pages 7 and 8 further describe and summarize
certain operating data and tenant information for the Property as of December
31, 2000.

Commitments and Contingencies
Investments in real property create a potential for
environmental liability on the part of the owner, operator or developer of such
real property. If hazardous substances are discovered on or emanating from any
of the Properties, the Partnership and/or others may be held strictly liable for
all costs and liabilities relating to the clean-up of such hazardous substances,
even if the problem was caused by another party or a tenant. The Partnership is
not aware of any existing environmental conditions that will have a material
effect on the financial statements.

PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant's Units and Related Security Holders Matters.
------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Class A and Class B Interests are not traded on any
established public trading market and no organized market has developed for the
interests in the Partnership. Sales of the Class A and Class B Interests occur
from time to time through independent broker-dealers, but to the best of the
Partnership's knowledge, there are no market makers for the interests. Recently
published information relating to other real estate limited partnerships (which
may or may not be analogous to the Partnership) indicates that sales of limited
partnership interests in those partnerships occur at substantial discounts from
the amounts of the original investments.
(b) As of March 1, 2001, the 1,518,800 Class A Interests and
2,111,072 Class B Interests outstanding were held by approximately 1,140 and
1,216 holders, respectively.
(c) The Partnership is a limited partnership and, accordingly,
does not pay dividends. Quarterly distributions of cash are made to its
partners, from time to time, depending upon distributable cash flow and certain
other conditions. The table on page 11 lists cash distributions.
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, distributable cash flow
(as defined), if any, for each fiscal quarter is distributed as follows: (i)
first, 99% to the holders of the Class A Interests as a group and 1% to the
General Partner until the holders of the Class A Interests have received an
amount of cumulative distributions necessary to provide such holders with a
non-compounded 10.5% cumulative annual return (determined in accordance with the
Partnership Agreement); (ii) next, 90% to the holders of the Class A Interests
and 10% to the General Partner until the holders of the Class A Interests have
received distributions of distributable capital proceeds (i.e., net proceeds of
a sale or other disposition or a refinancing of Properties available for
distribution) and uninvested offering proceeds equal to $10.00 for each Class A
Interest plus an amount of cumulative distributions necessary to provide such
holders with a cumulative, non-compounded 12.5% annual return (determined in
accordance with the Partnership Agreement on their Adjusted Priority Base Amount
as defined in the Partnership Agreement) (a "12.5% Priority Return"); and (iii)
thereafter, 85% to the holders of the Class B Interests, 5% to the holders of
the Class A Interests and 10% to the General Partner.
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, distributable capital
proceeds are distributed as follows: (i) first, 100% to the holders of the Class
A Interests as a group until they have received distributions of distributable
capital proceeds and uninvested offering proceeds equal to $10.00 for each Class
A Interest plus an amount of cumulative distributions necessary to provide such
holders with a 12.5% Priority Return; and (ii) thereafter, 85% to the holders of
the Class B Interests and 15% to the General Partner.
Distributable cash flow, as defined in the Partnership
Agreement, means, with respect to any period, (i) revenues and payments (which
do not include refundable deposits or unearned rent) of the Partnership received
in cash during such period, and reserves set aside out of revenues during prior
periods and no longer needed for the Partnership's business, but not including
cash proceeds attributable to a capital transaction (as defined), Bond proceeds
or capital contributions (as defined), less (ii) the sum of (A) amounts paid in
cash by the Partnership during such period for operating expenses of the
Partnership (excluding amounts paid from reserves or funds provided by capital
contributions or loans), for debt payments, and for other fees or payments to
the General Partner, (B) any capital expenditures with respect to Properties,
and (C) any amount set aside for the restoration, increase or creation of
reserves. Distributable cash flow is deemed to include the amount of any income
tax withheld with respect to revenues that are includable in distributable cash
flow.

During its two most recent fiscal years, the Partnership has
made the following cash distributions with respect to the Class A Interests:
Amount of Portion

With Respect Per 100 Class a Return of
To Quarter Ended: A Interests (1) Capital (1)
- ----------------- --------------- --------------
March 31, 2000 (1) $0 $0

December 31, 1999 (1) $0 $0
- ---------------------------------
(1) The Partnership suspended making distributions subsequent to
the second quarter of 1999 after determining that
unrestricted working capital levels were inadequate due to
(1) Abco vacating its space at the Green Valley Property in
May, 1999 (2) several capital outlays for work performed at
the Properties, and (3) the bankruptcy and subsequent
vacancy of its 15,600 square feet store space by one of the
major tenants at the Searcy Property.
There have been no distributions with respect to the Class B Interests.
In general, profits are allocated annually among the holders of
Class A Interests and Class B Interests and the General Partner, first in the
ratio and to the extent that they receive distributions of distributable cash
flow. Profits will next be allocated 100% to holders of Class A Interests until
their capital accounts equal the greater of zero or their Adjusted Priority Base
Amounts (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) plus their 12.5% Priority
Return. Any additional profits will be allocated to the holders of Class B
Interests and the General Partner to increase their capital accounts to reflect
the manner in which they are expected to share in further distributions.
Gain arising upon the sale of a Property or otherwise is
allocated first to holders of Class A Interests and Class B Interests and the
General Partner to eliminate any deficits in their capital accounts, and then to
the holders of the Class A Interests and Class B Interests and the General
Partner to increase their capital accounts to reflect the manner in which they
are expected to share in further distributions.
In general, losses are allocated first to the holders of Class B
Interests and the General Partner in the ratio and to the extent of any positive
balances in their capital accounts; then, to the holders of Class A Interests to
the extent of any positive balances in their capital accounts; and finally, 100%
to the General Partner.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Certain statements made in this report may constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. See Part I.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in
conjunction with the Financial Statements of the Partnership and the notes
thereto appearing in Item 14 of this report.
General
The Partnership commenced a public offering of Equity Units and
Bond Units (together, "Units") on April 8, 1987 in order to fund the
Partnership's real property acquisitions. The Partnership terminated the public
offering of Units on April 2, 1988. On April 14, 1988, the Partnership held its
final closing on the sale of Units. The Partnership was fully subscribed to with
a total of 16,452 Bond Units and 15,188 Equity Units from which the Partnership
received aggregate net proceeds (after deduction of sales commissions, discounts
and selling agent's expense otherwise required to be reimbursed to the General
Partner and its Affiliates) of $29,285,960. The Partnership purchased three
shopping centers with the proceeds from this offering. No further acquisitions
are planned and the Partnership has no plans to raise additional capital.
On September 30, 1997, the Partnership closed three fixed rate
first mortgage loans in the amounts of $2,865,000, $8,445,000 and $5,400,000, on
the Searcy, Valencia and Green Valley Properties, respectively. All three
Mortgage Loans are secured by first mortgages on each of the Properties. The
Partnership used the proceeds of the Mortgage Loans and available cash to redeem
all of the outstanding Bonds. The Mortgage Loans are described in further detail
in Item 2. Properties Section.
The Partnership has an agreement with Milestone Property
Management, Inc. ("MPMI"), an affiliate of the General Partner, to provide
management services to the Properties. In addition, MPMI is responsible for
leasing space at the properties and actively monitors all vacancies to ensure
the highest occupancy rate possible. All leasing is performed by MPMI and the
terms of the leases are negotiated on a lease by lease basis.
Competition
Rental property owned by the Partnership will have substantial
competition from similar properties in the vicinity in which such property is
located. Such competition is generally for the retention of existing tenants and
for new tenants upon space becoming vacant. Competition for tenants may result
in the Partnership being unable to quickly re-lease space resulting in a decline
in cash flows. The Partnership believes that the profitability of each of the
Properties is based, in part, upon its geographic location, the operations and
identity of the property's tenants, the performance of the property and leasing
managers, the maintenance and appearance of the property, the ease of access to
the property and the adequacy of property related facilities. The Partnership
also believes that general economic circumstances and trends as well as the
character and quality of new and existing properties which may be located in the
vicinity of the Properties are factors that may affect the operation and
competitiveness of the property.

Results of Operations
Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2000 to 1999.
Revenues of the Partnership increased $92,705, or 3.1%, to $3,079,207 in 2000
from $2,986,502 in 1999 primarily due to the net effect of the following:
(1) Rent - An increase in base rent of $51,411, or 2.04%,
to $2,560,747 in 2000 from $2,509,336 in 1999 is due
to a decrease in vacancies and an increase in base
rent at the Valencia and Green Valley properties.
(2) Reimbursed Expenses - An increase in reimbursed
expenses of $29,858, or 6.03%, to $490,397 in 2000
from $460,539 in 1999 primarily due to an increase in
the recovery on both common area expenses and real
estate taxes at the Green Valley Property.
Management and property expenses increased $102,609, or 11.90%,
to $958,610 in 2000 from $856,001 in 1999 due to increases in real estate taxes,
insurance and common area expenses at the Properties.
Administrative and management fees to a related party increased
by $44,264 or 28.76% to $198,169 in 2000 from $153,905 in 1999 due to an
additional professional fee payable to Milestone Property Management, Inc.
("MPMI").
Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 1999 to 1998.
Revenues of the Partnership decreased $117,136, or 3.77%, to $2,986,502 in 1999
from $3,103,638 in 1998 primarily due to the net effect of the following:
(1) Rent - A decrease in base rent of $78,776, or 3.04%,
to $2,509,336 in 1999 from $2,588,112 in 1998 caused
by (i) a decrease in base rent and percentage rent
revenues at the Green Valley Property due to Abco, a
principal anchor tenant, vacating its space during
the year and (ii) two vacancies at the Valencia
Property.
(2) Reimbursed Expenses - A decrease in reimbursed
expenses of $33,879, or 6.85%, to $460,539 in 1999
from $494,418 in 1998 primarily due to a decrease in
the recovery on both common area expenses and real
estate taxes at the Green Valley Property due to Abco
vacating its space during the year.
Management and property expenses increased $60,047, or 7.54%, to
$856,001 in 1999 from $795,954 in 1998 due to increases in real estate taxes,
insurance and common area expenses at the Properties.
Professional fees and other expenses decreased $27,910, or
28.13%, to $71,317 in 1999 from $99,227 in 1998, primarily due to a decrease in
accounting fees due to a change of audit firms in 1998.
Administrative and management fees to a related party decreased
by $3,004 or 1.91% to $153,905 in 1999 from $156,909 in 1998 due to decreases in
both rent revenue and recovery of reimbursed expenses.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $15,937, or
2.46%, to $630,782 in 1999 from $646,719 in 1998, primarily due to certain
assets reaching the end of their depreciable lives.
-15-
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The General Partner believes that the Partnership's expected
revenue and working capital is sufficient to meet the Partnership's current and
future operating requirements. Nevertheless, because the cash revenues and
expenses of the Partnership will depend on future facts and circumstances
relating to the Partnership's properties, as well as market and other conditions
beyond the control of the Partnership, a possibility exists that cash flow
deficiencies may occur.
During February 1999, the Partnership received notice from Abco,
a principal anchor tenant at the Green Valley Property, that Abco would not be
renewing its lease at the expiration of its current term on July 31, 1999. Abco
vacated its space in May, 1999. The Partnership retained a large regional real
estate brokerage firm to help market the space. Such brokerage firm was replaced
during 2000 by another large regional brokerage firm. No replacement tenant has
yet been identified. Each of the brokerage firms have shown the space to several
qualified prospective tenants. Many of the other tenants at the Green Valley
Property have short term leases. It is not possible to determine the long-term
effects of the vacancy of the Abco space. Currently, however, the vacancy of the
Abco space did not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations
at the Green Valley Property by impairing the Partnership's ability to retain
other tenants or to renew their leases on favorable terms, and by reducing
traffic at the Property and negatively affecting percentage rents. In addition,
the Partnership will incur expenses in leasing the space vacated by Abco to a
new tenant, and the Partnership cannot predict how soon such space will be
leased and the terms of such new lease. Currently, approximately $150,000 of the
Partnership's working capital is being held in escrow in connection with the
refinancing by the Lender pending the resolution of the vacant anchor tenant
space created by the departure of Abco.
The Partnership periodically makes distributions to its owners.
A 1998 fourth quarter distribution of $50,001 was paid during February 1999.
Also, a first quarter distribution of $50,001 was paid during May 1999 and a
second quarter distribution of $20,002 was paid during August 1999.
Distributions were suspended after the second quarter of 1999 following the
departure of Abco from the Green Valley Property, which created vacant anchor
tenant space. Additionally, several capital projects were undertaken and
completed at the Properties. Further a 15,600 square feet anchor tenant at the
Searcy Property filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and vacated its store
space. Finally, the Partnership expects to make extensive roof repairs and/or
replacements at the Valencia Property in fiscal year 2001. The Partnership will
evaluate the amount of future distributions, if any, on a quarter by quarter
basis. No assurances can be given as to the timing or amount of any future
distributions by the Partnership. Management is not aware of any other
significant trends, events, commitments or uncertainties that will or are likely
to materially impact the Partnership's liquidity.
The cash on hand at December 31, 2000 may be used to fund (a)
costs associated with releasing the Abco space should the costs of releasing
exceed the $150,000 already held in escrow by the Lender for this purpose and
(b) other general Partnership purposes.
Net cash provided by operating activities of $442,228 for the
year ended December 31, 2000 was comprised of (i) net loss of $134,495, (ii)
adjustments of $636,489 for depreciation and amortization and (iii) a net change
in operating assets and liabilities of $59,766.
Net cash provided by operating activities of $528,387 for the
year ended December 31, 1999 was comprised of (i) net loss of $84,307, (ii)
adjustments of $630,782 for depreciation and amortization and (iii) a net change
in operating assets and liabilities of $18,088.

CURRENT ACCOUNTING ISSUES
SFAS No. 133 and No. 138
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and SFAS No. 138,
"Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities,
an Amendment of FASB 133" establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires an entity to recognize
all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial
position, and measure those instruments at fair value. Changes in the fair value
of those derivatives will be reported in earnings or other comprehensive income
depending on the use of the derivative and whether the derivative qualifies for
hedge accounting. SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 138 are effective all fiscal
quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 30, 2000. The Partnership
adopted SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 138, on January 1, 2001.
The Partnership has identified a minimal number of embedded
derivative instruments, and these were evaluated for recording on the
Partnership's balance sheet at January 1, 2001. Within certain of its leases
with tenants in its Properties, the Partnership has embedded derivatives
resulting from possible limitations on scheduled rent increases, based on
changes in CPI. These types of limitations are common in the Partnership's
industry. These embedded derivatives have been valued at an insignificant
amount, so the affect of the recording of this new accounting pronouncement is
inconsequential at January 1, 2001.
-17-
The adoption of SFAS No. 133 resulted in the Partnership
recording a net transition adjustment of an insignificant amount. The
Partnership expects that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not increase the
volatility of its reported earnings, as the embedded derivatives have not
resulted in any material change in the Partnership's earnings or cash flows in
the past. The Partnership believes that the impact of its embedded derivatives
are not likely to be material in the future.
SFAS No. 140
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, "Accounting
for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities -- a replacement of FASB No. 125," was issued in September 2000. It
revises the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of
financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures but will carry
over most of SFAS No. 125's provisions without reconsideration. SFAS 140 is
effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of
liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001. This statement is effective for
recognition and reclassification of collateral and for disclosures related to
securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after
December 15, 2000. The adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 140 is not
expected to have any material impact on the Company.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The Partnership, in its normal course of business, is
theoretically exposed to interest rate changes as they relate to real estate
mortgages and the effect of such mortgage rate changes on the values of real
estate. However, for the Partnership, all of its mortgage debt is at fixed
rates, is for extended terms, and would be unaffected by any sudden change in
interest rates. The Partnership's possible risk is from increases in long-term
real estate mortgage rates that may occur over a decade or more, as this may
decrease the overall value of real estate. Since the Partnership has the intent
to hold its existing mortgages to maturity (or until the sale of a Property),
there is believed to be no interest rate market risk on the Partnership's
results of operations or its working capital position. The Partnership estimates
the fair value of its long term fixed rate Mortgage Loans generally using
discounted cash flow analysis based on the Partnership's current borrowing rates
for similar types of debt. At December 31, 2000, the fair value of the Mortgage
Loans was estimated to be $15,218,728 compared to a carrying value amount of
$16,130,733.
The Partnership's cash equivalents and short-term investments,
if any, generally bear variable interest rates. Changes in the market rates of
interest available will affect from time-to-time the interest earned by the
Partnership. Since the Partnership does not rely on its interest earnings to
fund working capital needs, changes in these interest rates will not have an
impact on the Partnership's results of operations or working capital position.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
The financial statements and supplementary data are included
elsewhere in this document, as listed on the accompanying index.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and
Financial Disclosure.
During the last two fiscal years, no changes of accountants and
disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosure occurred.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.
Based on the General Partner's review of Forms 3, 4 and 5
furnished to the Partnership, there were no late reports filed during 2000.
Item 11. Compensation.
During 2000, the Partnership paid or accrued:
(i) $68,500 to Milestone Property Management, Inc. ("MPMI"), an
affiliate of the General Partner, for administrative
services rendered to the Partnership. Pursuant to an
agreement between MPMI and the Partnership, the Partnership
reimburses MPMI for administrative services provided to the

Property may not exceed competitive fees for comparable
services reasonably available to the Partnership in the same
geographic area as the property in question. Gross revenues
are defined in the management agreement to mean, with
respect to each Property, all base, additional and

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors of
Concord Milestone Plus, L.P.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Concord Milestone Plus, L.P.
(the "Partnership") as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements
of revenues and expenses, changes in partners' capital, and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. Our audits also
included the information contained in the financial statement schedule of real
estate and accumulated depreciation. These financial statements and the
financial statement schedule of real estate and accumulated depreciation are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on the financial statements and the financial statement schedule of
real estate and accumulated depreciation based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Concord Milestone Plus, L.P. as
of December 31, 2000, and 1999, and the results of its operations, changes in
partners' capital and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the information contained
in the financial statement schedule of real estate and accumulated depreciation,
when considered in relation to the basic financial statements, presents fairly,
in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

CONCORD MILESTONE PLUS, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998
1. Organization and Capitalization
Concord Milestone Plus, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), was formed on December 12, 1986, to invest in existing
income-producing commercial and industrial real estate, such as shopping
centers, office buildings, free-standing commercial warehouses and distribution
centers. Currently, the Partnership owns and operates three shopping centers
(the "Properties"), one located in Searcy, Arkansas (the "Searcy Property"), one
located in Valencia, California (the "Valencia Property") and one located in
Green Valley, Arizona (the "Green Valley Property").
The Partnership commenced a public offering on April 8, 1987 in order to fund
the Partnership's real property acquisitions. The Partnership terminated its
public offering on April 2, 1988 and was fully subscribed to with a total of
16,452 Bond Units and 15,188 Equity Units issued. Each Bond Unit consisted of
$1,000 principal amount of the Partnership's Escalating Rate Collateralized
Mortgage Bonds (the "Bonds") due November 30, 1997 and 36 Class B Interests
("Class B Interests"), each such interest representing an assignment of one
Class B Limited Partnership Interest held by CMP Benefit Corp., a Delaware
corporation (the "Assignor"), under the Amended and Restated Agreement of
Limited Partnership of the Partnership Agreement (the "Partnership Agreement").
Each Equity Unit consisted of 100 Class A Interests ("Class A Interests"), each
interest representing an assignment of one Class A Limited Partnership Interest
held by the Assignor under the Partnership Agreement, and 100 Class B Interests.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting, Fiscal Year
The Partnership's records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting for
both financial and tax purposes. Its fiscal year is the calendar year.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Partnership considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Partnership
occasionally maintains cash balances in financial institutions in excess of the
federally insured limits.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists of escrow deposits held by the lender for payment of
property taxes and an amount held pending the execution of a new lease of the
space formerly leased to Abco at the Green Valley property and satisfaction of
certain other conditions related thereto.
-34-
Revenue Recognition
Rental income is accrued as earned except when doubt exists as to
collectibility, in which case the accrual is discontinued. When rental payments
due under leases vary from a straight-line basis because of free rent periods or
stepped increases, income is recognized on a straight-line basis in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. Reimbursed expenses represent a
portion of property operating expense billed to the tenants, including common
area maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs. Expenses
subject to reimbursement are recognized in the period when the expenses are
incurred. Rental income based on a tenant's revenues ("percentage rent") is
accrued when a tenant reports sales that exceed a specified amount.
Property
Property is carried at cost, and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the
estimated useful life of 31.5 years. Building improvements and other depreciable
assets are carried at cost, and depreciated on a straight-line basis using an
estimate useful life of 3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the lesser of the estimated useful life or the
remaining term of the lease. Total depreciation expense was $596,210, $593,225,
$609,161, in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.
The Partnership's individually reviews each of their properties for possible
impairment at least annually, and more frequently if circumstances warrant.
Impairment is determined to exist when estimated amounts recoverable through
future cash flows from operations on an un-discounted basis is less than the
property's carrying value. If a property is determined to be impaired, it is
written down to its estimated fair value to the extent that the carrying amount
exceeds the fair value of the property. No write downs for impairment of
property investments were recorded in 2000, 1999 and 1998.
The determination of impairment is based, not only upon future cash flows, which
rely upon estimates and assumptions including expense growth, occupancy and
rental rates, but also upon market capitalization and discount rates as well as
other market indicators. The Partnership believes that the estimates and
assumptions used are appropriate in evaluating the carrying amount of the
Partnership's properties. However, changes in market conditions and
circumstances may occur in the near term which would cause these estimates and
assumptions to change, which, in turn, could cause the amounts ultimately
realized upon the sale or other disposition of the properties to differ
materially from their carrying value. Such changes may also require future
write-downs.
Income Taxes
The Partnership makes no provision for income taxes because all income and
losses are allocated to the partners and holders of Class A Interests and Class
B Interests for inclusion in their respective tax returns. The tax bases of the
Partnership's net assets and liabilities are $3,090,677 and $2,996,877 higher
than the amounts reported for financial statement purposes at December 31, 2000
and 1999, respectively, due to the utilization of different estimated useful
lives for the depreciation of property for tax and financial reporting purposes
and the write-down of property during 1993 and 1994 for financial reporting
purposes.
-35-
Debt Financing Costs
The costs to obtain the Mortgage Loans (see Note 6) were capitalized and are
being amortized over the term of such mortgages using the effective interest
method.
Income (loss) Per Class A Interest
The Partnership follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No.128, "Earnings per Share". SFAS No.128 requires a
presentation of basic earnings per share and also requires dual presentation of
basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations
for all entities with complex capital structures. The Partnership has no
dilutive interests. Income (loss) per Class A interest amounts are computed by
dividing net income (loss) allocable to the limited partners by the weighted
average number of 100 Class A Interests outstanding during the year.
Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss)
A statement of comprehensive income (loss) has not been included per SFAS 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income", as the Partnership has no items of other
comprehensive income (loss)
Statement of Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which
establishes annual and interim reporting standards for an enterprise's operating
segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas
and major customers. The Partnership's operations are within one reportable
segment.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications were made to the accompanying 1998 and 1999 financial
statements to conform with the 2000 presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and SFAS No. 138, "Accounting
for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain hedging Activities, an Amendment
of FASB 133" establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires an entity to recognize all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial
position, and measure those instruments at fair value. Changes in the fair value
of those derivatives will be reported in earnings or other comprehensive income
depending on the use of the derivative and whether the derivative qualifies for
hedge accounting. These pronouncements are effective for all fiscal quarters of
fiscal years beginning after June 30, 2000. The Partnership adopted SFAS No.
133, as amended by SFAS No. 138, on
-36-
January 1, 2001. The Partnership does not expect this adoption to have any
material impact on reported earnings, comprehensive income, or financial
position, as the Partnership's derivative instruments embedded in certain leases
are insignificant, and the Partnership does not use any hedging activities.
3. Partnership Agreement
Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the general partner of the
Partnership, CM Plus Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "General
Partner"), is liable for all general obligations of the Partnership to the
extent not paid by the Partnership.
Holders of Class A Interests and Class B Interests are not liable for expenses,
liabilities or obligations of the Partnership beyond the amount of their
contributed capital.
All distributable cash, capital proceeds, profit, gain or loss from Partnership
operations are generally allocated 1 percent to the General Partner and 99
percent to the holders of Class A Interests. The holders of Class B Interests
were specifically allocated certain organization and offering expenses to the
extent of their positive capital account balances, thus reducing their account
balance to zero. After the holders of Class A Interests have received the 12.5
percent Priority Return (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) all
distributable cash is allocated in a ratio of 85 percent to the holders of Class
B Interests, 5 percent to the holders of Class A Interests and 10 percent to the
General Partner.
Since the inception of the Partnership, all income and distributable cash with
respect to the Equity Units has been allocated to the holders of Class A
Interests because they have not received the 12.5 percent Priority Return.
Therefore, no income has been allocated to the holders of Class B Interests.

minimum amounts and for reimbursement of all or a portion of the tenant's pro
rata share of real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance expenses.
There was no tenant in 2000, 1999 and 1998 whose rents exceed 10% of the

Property. Management Fees incurred for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999,

Subsequent to October 31, 2003 and prior to May 31, 2007 each Mortgage Loan may
be prepaid in whole but not in part on any payment date with a prepayment
penalty equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the outstanding principal balance at

scheduled principal and interest payments (including any balloon payment) over
the amount of principal being prepaid. The Mortgage Loans may be prepaid without
penalty on any payment date after May 31, 2007.

In connection with the Green Valley Mortgage Loan, the Partnership has deposited
$150,000 into an escrow account with the Lender. The funds held in this escrow
account may be released upon the execution of a new lease for specified vacant
anchor tenant space, with a termination date of July 31, 2004 or later, and the
satisfaction of certain other conditions related thereto.
CM Plus Corporation, the general partner of the Partnership, guarantees certain
limited recourse obligations under the Mortgage Loans.
7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following estimated fair value were determined by the Partnership using
available market information and valuation methodologies considered appropriate
by management. However, considerable judgement is necessary to interpret and
apply market data to develop specific fair value estimates for given financial
instruments, and the use of different market assumptions and/or estimation
methodologies could have a material effect on reported fair value amounts.
Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of
the amounts that could be realized upon disposition of the Partnership's
financial instruments.
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accrued expenses and other
liabilities are reflected in the balance sheets at cost, which is considered by
management to reasonably approximate fair value due to their short term nature.
The Partnership estimates the fair value of its long term fixed rate Mortgage
Loans generally using discounted cash flow analysis based on current rates for
similar types of debt. At December 31, 2000, the fair value of the Mortgage
Loans was estimated to be $15,218,728 compared to a carrying value amount of
$16,130,733. The fair value estimates presented herein are based on information
available as of December 31, 2000. Although management is not aware of any
factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, a
comprehensive re-evaluation of all of the Properties has not been performed for
purposes of these financial statement disclosures.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
During February 1999, the Partnership received notice from Abco, a principal
anchor tenant at the Green Valley Property, that Abco would not be renewing its
lease at the expiration of its current term on July 31, 1999. Abco vacated its
space in May, 1999. No replacement tenant has yet been identified. Many of the
tenants at the Green Valley Property have short term leases. It is not possible
to determine the long-term effects of the vacancy of the Abco space. Currently,
however, the vacancy of this anchor tenant space did not have a material adverse
effect on the results of operations at the Green Valley Property by impairing
the Partnership's ability to retain other tenants or to renew their leases on
favorable terms, by reducing traffic at the Property and negatively affecting
percentage rents. In addition, the Partnership will incur expenses in releasing
the Abco space and
-39-
cannot predict how soon such space will be leased and the terms of such new
lease. Currently, approximately $150,000 of the Partnership's working capital is
being held in escrow in connection with the refinancing by the holder of the
first mortgage on the Green Valley Property (the "Lender") pending the
resolution of this anchor space vacancy.
Investments in real property create a potential for environmental liability on
the part of the owner, operator or developer of such real property. If hazardous
substances are discovered on or emanating from any of the Properties, the
Partnership and/or others may be held strictly liable for all costs and
liabilities relating to the clean-up of such hazardous substances, even if the
problem was caused by another party or a tenant. The Partnership is not aware of
any existing environmental conditions that will have a material effect on the
financial statements.
From time to time, the Partnership is exposed to claims, regulatory, and legal
actions in the normal course of business, some of which are initiated by the
Partnership. At December 31, 2000, management believes that any such outstanding
issues will be resolved without significantly impairing the financial condition
of the Partnership.
