MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Management s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements including those concerning Management s expectations regarding the future financial performance and future events. These forward-looking statements involve significant risk and uncertainties, including those described herein. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements. Liquidity and Capital Resources The most significant demand on the Partnership s liquidity are quarterly distributions paid to investors of approximately $3.9 million. Funds used for investor distributions come from interest received on the PIMs, MBS, cash and cash equivalents net of operating expenses, and principal collections received on the PIMs and MBS. The Partnership funds a portion of the distributions from principal collections causing the capital resources of the Partnership to continually decrease. As the capital resources decrease, the total cash inflows to the Partnership will also decrease which will result in periodic adjustments to the quarterly distributions paid to investors. The General Partners periodically review the distribution rate to determine whether an adjustment is necessary based on projected future cash flows. In general, the General Partners try to set a distribution rate that provides for level quarterly distributions of cash available for distribution. To the extent quarterly distributions differ from the cash available for distribution the General Partners may adjust the distribution rate or distribute funds through a special distribution. On April 25, 1997, the Partnership received prepayments of the Paces Arbor and Paces Forest PIMs that included the outstanding first mortgage principal balance, a prepayment penalty and all accrued additional interest earned through the payoff date. The Partnership made a special distribution of the capital proceeds from these transactions, principal and prepayment penalties, of $.65 per limited partner interest in May. The General Partners expect that the Partnership can maintain the current quarterly distribution rate of $.30 per limited partner interest through 1997. However, if additional PIMs are prepaid, the quarterly distribution rate in the future may be adjusted downward to reflect fewer cash inflows from the remaining mortgage investments. In the event additional PIMs are prepaid, the Partnership will make special distributions from the capital proceeds of the prepayments. A number of borrowers have informed the General Partners of their intentions to prepay the Partnership s PIMs. The owner of three properties in the portfolio, the Paddock properties in Florida, expects to payoff each PIM in November 1997 as a result of a merger transaction with a NYSE-listed real estate investment trust. If the Paddocks transaction is finalized as expected, the Partnership will receive a principal repayment totaling approximately $27 million. The borrower on the Meredith Square PIM expects to close a refinance of the property in December 1997 and payoff the outstanding balance on the first mortgage loan. The Partnership will receive a principal repayment of approximately $4.7 million if the Meredith -10- Square transaction is finalized. In addition to the repayment of the principal balances of these four PIMs, the Partnership will also received accrued additional interest earned on each property s operations and either the greater of a 9% prepayment penalty or additional interest earned on the appreciation in each property s value. Three other borrowers have indicated there is a possibility they may payoff the Partnership s PIMs. A sale transaction of Rosewood Apartments fell through earlier in 1997, but the PIM could be prepaid if the borrower is successful in obtaining another purchase offer. The owner of Fourth Ward Square has notified the General Partners of his intention to refinance the property and payoff the Partnership s PIM. The new owner of Sundance Apartments, who purchased the property during the second quarter 1997 and assumed the Partnership s PIM and modified subordinated Promissory Note from the original borrower, has indicated that he may refinance the property and payoff the Partnership s PIM after he stabilizes property operations. If any or all of these transactions occur, the General Partners will review the anticipated cash flows from the remaining mortgage investments to determine whether the current distribution rate would be sustainable or whether an adjustment would be necessary. If the General Partners determine that the distribution rate needs to be adjusted, the timing of the adjustment would depend on when these PIMs prepay. For the first five years of the PIMs the borrowers are prohibited from prepaying. For the second five years, the borrower can prepay the loan incurring a prepayment penalty. The Partnership has the option to call certain PIMs by accelerating their maturity if the loans are not prepaid by the tenth year after permanent funding. The Partnership will determine the merits of exercising the call option for each PIM as economic conditions warrant. Such factors as the condition of the asset, local market conditions, interest rates and available financing will have and impact on this decision. Assessment of Credit Risk The Partnership's investments in mortgages are guaranteed or insured by the Federal National Mortgage Association ( FNMA ), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ( FHLMC ), the Government National Mortgage Association ( GNMA ) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development ( HUD ) and therefore the certainty of their cash flows and the risk of material loss of the amounts invested depends on the creditworthiness of these entities. FNMA is a federally chartered private corporation that guarantees obligations originated under its programs. FHLMC is a federally chartered corporation that guarantees obligations originated under its programs and is wholly-owned by the twelve Federal Home Loan Banks. These obligations are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government or the Federal Home Loan Bank Board. GNMA guarantees the full and timely payment of principal and basic interest on the securities it issues, which represent interests in pooled mortgages insured by HUD. Obligations insured by HUD, an agency of the U.S. Government, are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Operations The following discussion relates to the operations of the Partnership during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. Net income decreased by $869,341 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996, due primarily to a $1,095,619 reduction in participation income. However, the Partnership did receive $183,527 of participation from three properties during the third quarter of 1997. Base interest income on PIMs decreased by $237,328 in the third quarter of 1997 as compared to the third quarter of 1996 due primarily to the prepayment of the Friendly Hills, Paces Arbor and Paces Forest PIM s. Interest income on MBS decreased by $36,783 in the third quarter of 1997 as compared to the third quarter of 1996, because of principal collections from the Partnership s MBS investments. Amortization expense decreased by $475,867 due to the prepayments of Friendly Hills PIM in August 1996 and Paces Arbor and Paces Forest PIM s in April 1997. Net income decreased by $563,457 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to same period in 1996 due primarily to lower base interest income on PIMs and interest income on MBS and higher general and administrative expenses. These decreases were offset in part by increases in participation interest income, interest income on cash and cash equivalents and decreases in asset management fees and amortization of prepaid expense and fees. The decrease in base interest of $872,329 resulted primarily from the prepayments of the Friendly Hills, Paces Arbor and Paces Forest PIM s. In addition, the prepayments the Partnership has experienced also caused decreases in asset managements and amortization of prepaid expense and fees.
