Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Overview Retail Equity Partners Limited Partnership ("the Partnership") is a North Carolina limited partnership formed to acquire, hold, operate and manage three neighborhood shopping centers. In October, 1991 the ownership of one of the shopping centers was transferred to a newly formed partnership, New Market Square Limited Partnership ("NMSLP"). The Partnership is the sole general partner and holds a 99.99 percent interest in NMSLP. In February 1996 New Market Square Shopping Center was sold to an unaffiliated party. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Partnership's Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 8, 1996, and the Partnership's audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results of Operations Effective February 8, 1996, the Partnership sold New Market Square Shopping Center ("NMS") to an unaffiliated party for a contract price of $6,558,000. At December 31, 1995, the Partnership had recorded a reserve of $510,000 for writedown of NMS to estimated net realizable value. During first quarter of 1996 the Partnership recorded an additional provision for loss on the sale of approximately $19,000. The consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 include the operations of New Market Square through February 7, 1996. Decreases in revenues and expenses in first quarter of 1996 compared to 1995 generally reflect the effect of sale of NMS in early February. Summary operating results of Cape Henry Plaza and Plaza West shopping centers are as follows: Three months ended March 31, 1996 1995 ---- ---- Revenues $258,474 $235,104 Expenses: Property expenses 67,409 60,954 General and administrative 15,521 17,757 Depreciation and amortization 49,074 49,311 Interest 160,183 161,389 --------- --------- 292,187 289,411 --------- --------- Net loss $ (33,713) $ (54,307) ========= ========= Both Plaza West and Cape Henry Shopping Center were 100 percent occupied throughout first quarter 1996, compared to 100 percent and approximately 95 percent, respectively, in first quarter 1995. Improved operating results in first quarter of 1996 are primarily attributable to increased occupancy and rental increases. The Partnership experienced a net loss of $83,000 in first quarter 1996 compared to $49,000 for the same period in 1995. (The first quarter 1996 loss includes $19,000 provision for estimated loss on sale of NMS, while first quarter 1995 results include $82,000 proceeds of a claim against a former tenant of NMS). Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Partnership has long-term financing on both remaining shopping centers. These first mortgage loans mature in 1998 and require monthly principal reduction. The two remaining shopping centers continue to generate positive cash flow from operations. The leases held by the Partnership are generally long-term, with substantially all increases in operating expenses, taxes and insurance passed through to and paid by tenants. Additionally, most leases include built-in rent increases based on changes 7 in the consumer price index or percentage rents based on total sales. The Partnership should have sufficient cash flow to meet its capital needs. The Partnership made no capital expenditures or distributions during the first quarter of 1996. The Partnership expects to make some distribution to partners with net proceeds of sale of NMS in 1996; however, other distributions have been suspended until property operations allow.
