Commitments, management and report of fees: The terms of the Agreement of Limited Partnership provide that the General Partners and/or Affiliates are entitled to receive certain fees for equipment acquisition, management and resale and for management of the Partnership. The General Partners and/or Affiliates earned the following fees, commissions and reimbursements, pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement as follows: 1998 1997 ---- ---- Reimbursement of administrative costs $56,196 $64,868 Incentive and equipment management fees 37,754 49,915 ---------------- ---------------- $93,950 $114,783 ================ ================ 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, 1998, the partnership had borrowed approximately $21,700,000. The remaining unpaid balance on those borrowings was $533,981. 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. The Partnership made distributions of cash from 1998 first and second quarter operations in April and July 1998, respectively. The amounts of these distributions were each $7.50 per Unit. These distributions represent an annualized distribution rate of 6.0%. 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. Cash flows, six months, 1998 vs. 1997 In the first six months of 1998, the Partnership's primary source of cash flows from operations was lease rents, particularly operating lease rents. Cash flows from operations Increased by $18,804. The Partnership's operating lease revenues declined by $234,361 compared to 1997. Direct financing lease revenues increased by $36,997. Operating lease rents declined as a result of lease terminations over the preceding year. Some of the assets coming off of operating leases were re-leased under new direct financing lease arrangements. These new leases gave rise to the increase in direct financing lease revenues. Cash flows from investing activities decreased by $474,828 compared to 1997. Most of the decrease was due to sales of direct financing lease assets in 1998 and 1997, resulting in decreased cash flows from such leases. There were no financing sources of cash in the 1998 or 1997 periods. Debt principal payments have decreased as a result of scheduled debt payments. Distributions increased due to higher per Unit rate of distributions in 1998 compared to 1997. Cash flows, three months, 1998 vs. 1997 Lease revenues decreased by $88,049. Lease rentals were the largest source of cash in the second quarter of 1998. 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 197. Proceeds from the sales of assets decreased by $96,334 compared to 1997. There were no financing sources of cash in the 1998 or 1997 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 1998 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. 1998 vs. 1997 Operating lease revenues declined by $234,361 (six months) and $101,807 (three months). Direct financing lease revenues increased by $36,997 (six months) and $19,827 (three months) compared to 1997. Depreciation expense decreased by $77,500 (six months) and $33,555 (three months) compare to 1997. Operating lease revenues and depreciation have declined as leases have reached their scheduled terminations and the underlying assets have been sold or re-leased on direct financing leases. Management fees are related to lease revenues and to distributions. Both of these factors declined in 1998 compared to 1997, resulting in lower management fees. Interest expense decreased for both the six and three month periods due to lower average debt balances than in 1997 resulting from scheduled debt payments. Other Year 2000 Issues The year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any computer programs that have time sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculation causing disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions or engage in similar normal business activities. The Partnership uses primarily third party software and is communicating with key vendors to ensure that the Partnership's systems are year 2000 compliant. Based on these discussions, the Partnership does not expect that the costs related to the year 2000 issue will be significant. Ultimately, the potential impact of the year 2000 issue will depend on the way in which the year 2000 issue is addressed by businesses and other entities whose financial condition or operational capability is important to the Partnership.
