Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
This discussion contains forward-looking statements including, without
limitation, statements relating to development activities of the Partnership
within the meaning of federal securities laws. Although management believes that
the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on
reasonable assumptions, there are certain factors such as general economic
conditions, local real estate conditions, or weather conditions that might cause
a difference between actual results and those forward-looking statements.
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 has been the sole general
partner and held 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. NMSLP was dissolved effective July 31, 1996.
The consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996 include the operations of NMSLP. Decreases in revenues and
expenses in 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:

============= ================== ================ ================
Both Plaza West and Cape Henry Plaza shopping centers were 100 percent occupied
throughout third quarter 1996, compared to 100 percent and approximately 94
percent, respectively, in third quarter 1995. Fluctuations in property
operations expense are primarily attributable to timing of planned exterior
repairs and maintenance. The increase in general and administrative costs is
primarily attributable to partnership administration fees ($1,500 per month)
charged and recorded in 1996.
8
The Partnership experienced a net loss of $21,000 in third quarter 1996 compared
to net loss of $127,000 for the same period in 1995. The decrease is primarily
attributable to the sale of NMS, which generated significant operating losses in
1995 (see notes to financial statements included in this report) along with
improved occupancy and related rental revenue at Cape Henry Plaza.
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 nominal 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 in the consumer price index or
percentage rents based on total sales. Although the Partnership currently
generates sufficient cash flow to meet its immediate operating and capital
needs, certain adverse developments, such as the failure of a significant tenant
to pay rent, could create a material deficiency in the Partnership's short-term
liquidity. In addition, the Partnership currently does not generate sufficient
cash flow to make significant improvements or modifications to the centers
should such needs arise.
During third quarter 1996 the Partnership expended approximately $26,000 for
capitalized roof replacement at Cape Henry Plaza.
During second quarter 1996, the Partnership made a distribution in the amount of
$297,985 to the limited partners from net proceeds of the sale of NMS. However,
other distributions have been suspended until property operations allow.
