MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements including those concerning Managements 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. Effective with the May 1998 distribution the quarterly distribution will be $.19 per unit or approximately $2.4 million per quarter. Funds used for investor distributions come from interest received on the PIMs,MBS, cash and cash equivalents net of operating expenses,and certain principal collections received on the PIMs and MBS. The Partnership funds a portion of the quarterly 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 to the distribution rate 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. Since the beginning of 1998, the Partnership has paid three special distributions. During January, the Partnership paid out $2.30 per Limited Partner interest, which represented the principal proceeds and prepayment penalties received in the fourth quarter of 1997 from the three Paddock property PIMs. During February, the Partnership paid out $1.01 per Limited Partner interest,which represented the principal proceeds from Fourth Ward Square and Meredith Square PIMs, the prepayment penalty from Meredith Square and the Shared Appreciation Interest from Fourth Ward Square. During April, the Partnership paid out $.42 per Limited Partner interest,which represented the principal proceeds and prepayment penalty received from the Rosewood PIM. The General Partners estimate that the Partnership can maintain the quarterly distribution rate of $.19 per limited partner interest for the near future. However, in the event of further PIM prepayments the Partnership would be required to distribute any proceeds from the prepayments as a special distribution which may cause an adjustment to the distribution rate to reflect the anticipated future cash inflows from the remaining mortgage investments. 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 an 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. The Partnership includes in cash and cash equivalents approximately $4 million of commercial paper, which is issued by entities with a credit rating equal to one of the top two rating categories of a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Operations The following discussion relates to the operations of the Partnership during the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997: Net income decreased approximately $1,779,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997, due primarily to lower interest income on PIMS and higher amortization expenses, both of which are related to prepayments. This was offset by an increase in other interest income due to the Partnership having higher short-term investment balances as a result of PIM prepayments that occurred in the fourth quarter of 1997 and the first quarter of 1988. PIM interest income was lower due to the prepayments of the Meredith Square, Fourth Ward Square and Rosewood Apartment PIM s during the first quarter of 1998 and the prepayments of the Paces Arbor, Paces Forest, Paddock Park II, Paddock Park Tallahassee and Paddock Jacksonville PIMs during 1997. Amortization expense increased approximately $454,000 as a result of the PIM prepayments that occurred in 1998. Interest income on PIMs and MBS will continue to decline as principal collections reduce the outstanding balance of the portfolios. The Partnership funds a portion of distributions with MBS and PIM principal collections, which reduces the invested assets generating income for the Partnership. As the invested assets decline so will interest income on MBS, base interest income on PIMs and other interest income. -12- KRUPP INSURED PLUS-III LIMITED PARTNERSHIP PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
