Commitments, management and report of fees: The terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement provide that the General Partners and/or Affiliates are entitled to receive certain fees. The General Partners and/or Affiliates earned partnership and equipment management fees of $74,040 in 1996 and $122,601 in 1995, as permitted in the Agreement of Limited Partnership . 9 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Capital Resources and Liquidity Partnership cash which has been received, but which has not yet been invested in leased equipment or distributed to partners, is invested in interest-bearing accounts or high-quality/short-term commercial paper. The partnership's primary source of liquidity is cash received from lease rentals. The liquidity of the partnership will vary in the future, increasing to the extent cash flows from leases exceed expenses and decreasing as lease assets are acquired, as distributions are made to the limited partners and to the extent expenses exceed cash flows from leases. The partnership currently has available adequate reserves to meet contingencies, but in the event those reserves were found to be inadequate, the partnership would likely be in a position to borrow against its current portfolio to meet such requirements. The general partners envision no such requirements for operating purposes, nor have they explored with lenders the possibility of obtaining loans. There can be no assurance as to the terms of any such financing or that the partnership will be able to obtain such loans. All of the Partnership's non-recourse debt is paid by lease payments assigned to the lenders. The assigned lease payments match the required payments on the debt and such payments fully amortize the debt. As of June 30, 1996, the partnership had borrowed approximately $21,700,000. The remaining unpaid balance on those borrowings was $2,316,581. The borrowings are non-recourse to the partnership, that is, the only recourse of the lender will be to the equipment or corresponding lease acquired with the loan proceeds. The general partners expect that aggregate borrowings in the future will decrease as a percentage of equipment cost. In any event, the Agreement of Limited Partnership limits such borrowings to 40% of the total cost of equipment, in aggregate. No commitments of capital have been or are expected to be made other than for the acquisition of additional equipment. There were no such commitments at June 30, 1995. The Partnership made distributions of cash from 1996 first and second quarter operations in April and July 1996, respectively. The amounts of these distributions were each $6.50 per Unit. These distributions represent an annualized distribution rate of 5.2%. If inflation in the general economy becomes significant, it may affect the partnership inasmuch as the residual (resale) values and rates on re-leases of the Partnership's leased assets may increase as the costs of similar assets increase. However, the partnership's revenues from existing leases would not increase, as such rates are generally fixed for the terms of the leases without adjustment for inflation. If interest rates increase or decrease significantly, the lease rates that the partnership can obtain on future leases will be expected to increase or decrease in parallel as the cost of capital is a significant factor in the pricing of lease financing. Leases already in place, for the most part, would not be affected by changes in interest rates. 10 Cash flows, six months, 1996 vs. 1995 In the first six months of 1996, the Partnership's primary source of cash flows from operations was lease rents, particularly operating lease rents. Cash flows from operations decreased by $1,006,333. The Partnership's operating lease revenues declined by $502,574 compared to 1995 and direct financing lease revenues declined by $57,598. These decreases are a result of scheduled lease terminations and subsequent sales of the underlying lease assets since the second quarter of 1995. Cash flows from investing activities declined from $2,432,798 in 1995 to $880,987 in 1996. Most of the $1,551,811 decrease was due to reduced sales of lease assets in 1996 compared to 1995. The original cost of assets sold in 1996 was approximately $1,520,000 compared to $5,718,000 in 1995. The proceeds from the sales of such assets decreased from $1,862,815 in 1995 to $431,159 in 1996. In 1995, the Partnership sold certain equity securities it had obtained in the bankruptcy settlement of Financial News Network (FNN), a former lessee of the Partnership. The proceeds from the sale were $124,879. This represented the remainder of stock owned by the Partnership and there were no comparable sales in 1996. There were no financing sources of cash in the 1996 or 1995 periods. Debt principal payments have decreased as a result of scheduled debt payments. Distributions decreased due to the lower per Unit rate of distributions in January and April 1996 compared to 1995. Cash flows, three months, 1996 vs. 1995 Lease revenues decreased by $257,546. Lease rentals and the $329,390 received from asset sales were the largest sources of cash in the second quarter of 1996. The decrease in lease rents for the three month period was due to asset sales as noted above for the six month period. Sources of cash flows from investing activities decreased compared to 1995. As noted above for the six month period, proceeds from the sales of assets decreased compared to 1995. There were no financing sources of cash in the 1996 or 1995 periods. Cash flows used in financing activities changed in the three month period due to the same causes as noted above for the six month period. Results of Operations The results of operations in future periods may vary significantly from those of the first six months of 1996 as the partnership's lease portfolio of capital equipment matures. Revenues from leases are expected to decline over the long term as leased assets come off lease and are sold or re-leased at lower lease rates. The effect on net income is not determinable as it will depend to a large degree on the amounts received from the sales of assets or from re-leases to either the same or new lessees once the initial lease terms expire. 1996 vs. 1995 Operating lease revenues declined by $502,574 (six months) and $232,529 (three months) due to lease terminations and asset dispositions during the preceding twelve months. Direct financing lease revenues decreased by $57,598 (six months) and $26,007 (three months) compared to 1995. Depreciation expense decreased due to the asset dispositions discussed under the caption "Capital Resources and Liquidity". Management fees are related to lease revenues and to distributions. Both of these factors declined in 1996 compared to 1995, resulting in lower management fees. Interest expense decreased for both the six and three month periods due to lower average debt balances than in 1995. 11 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. Inapplicable. Item 2.
