MANAGEMENTS 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 Trust's liquidity is dividends paid to investors of approximately $4.9 million per quarter. The Trust currently has an annual dividend rate of $1.30 per share, paid in quarterly installments of $.325 per share. Funds for dividends come from interest income received on PIMs, PIMIs, MBS, cash and cash equivalents net of operating expenses,and the principal collections received on PIMs, PIMIs and MBS. The portion of dividends funded from principal collections reduces the capital resources of the Trust. As the capital resources of the Trust decrease, the total cash flows to the Trust will also decrease which may result in periodic adjustments to the dividends paid to the investors. The Trust's investments in PIMs and PIMIs, in addition to providing guaranteed or insured monthly principal and interest payments, may provide the Trust with additional income through participation in the cash generated by the operations of the underlying properties and a portion of the appreciation realized upon the sale or refinancing of the underlying properties. The Trust's participation interests and the interest payments on the Additional Loan portion of the PIMIs are neither insured nor guaranteed and will depend primarily on the successful operation of the underlying properties. Seven of the Trust's eight PIMIs funded the construction of multi-family housing, which require time to achieve stabilized operations following completion of construction. With this in mind,the Trust required the borrowers to establish reserves and escrows with Additional Loan proceeds to provide funds for the Additional Loan base interest payments during the construction and lease-up periods. As these reserves become depleted, full payment of the Additional Loan base interest will depend primarily on whether the underlying property can generate sufficient operating cash flow. For 1998, Mountain View and Red Run have sufficient escrows to make the required Additional Loan base interest payments if operations can not support such payments. In addition,the Trust received the scheduled semi-annual interest payments on the Additional Loans related to Park Highlands and The Season. The workouts related to Lifestlyes and Windward Lakes will only be paid if there is any surplus cash generated from each of the propertys operations. Management is closely monitoring the operating performances of the remaining properties. Overall, the Trust's ability to meet its objectives will depend primarily on the operating performance of the properties underlying the PIMs and PIMIs. Park Highlands is being marketed for a sale. The borrower on the PIMI has informed the Advisor that he expects a sale transaction may be completed during the second quarter 1998, and the first mortgage loan and the Additional -11- Loan will be paid off. Should a sale transaction occur, the Trust will receive its preferred return as well as its share of any increase in the property s value, as it is determined by the purchase price. Coconut Palm Club continues to generate operating deficits. The local market remains highly competitive, and Coconut Palm Club must compete against affordable single-family homes as well as other apartment communities, either newly built or recently renovated. Coconut Palm Club is unable to generate sufficient operating income to correct deferred maintenance items that adversely affect the market s perception of the property or to launch an aggressive marketing campaign to draw more traffic to the property. The borrower on the Coconut Palm Club PIMI is still searching for additional equity to bring into the deal, and the Advisor expects to negotiate a loan restructure to provide some interim debt service relief until the market stabilizes. For the first five years of the PIMs and PIMIs the borrowers are prohibited from repaying.For the second five years, the borrowers can repay the loans and pay the greater of a prepayment penalty or all participation interest for PIMs, or by paying all amounts due under the PIMIs and satisfying the required preferred return. The participation features and Additional Loans are neither insured nor guaranteed and if repayment of a PIM or PIMI results from foreclosure on the underlying property or an insurance claim the Trust would not receive any participation interest or any amounts due under the Additional Loan. The Trust has the option to call PIMs and PIMIs by accelerating their maturity if the loans are not repaid by the tenth year after permanent funding. The Trust will determine the merits of exercising the call option for each PIM or PIMI 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 Trust'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 represents an interest 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 Trust's Additional Loans have similar risks as those associated with higher risk debt instruments, including: reliance on the owner's operating skills, ability to maintain occupancy levels, control operating expenses, maintain the properties and obtain adequate insurance coverage; adverse changes in general economic conditions,adverse local conditions, and changes in governmental regulations, real estate zoning laws, or tax laws;and other circumstances over which the Trust may have little or no control. The Trust includes in cash and cash equivalents approximately $8 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 Trust during the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 Net income for the first quarter of 1998 decreased by approximately $2,132,000 as compared to the first quarter of 1997 primarily due to the Timber Ridge PIMI prepayment during the first quarter of 1997. The decreases in participation income, additional loan interest and base interest of $1,322,000, $525,000 and $223,000, respectively, due to the borrower of the Timber Ridge PIMI prepaying the first mortgage and Additional Loan during the first quarter of 1997. Other interest income also decreased due to the Trust having lower short-term investment balances during the first quarter of 1998 when compared to the corresponding period in 1997 as a result of the special dividend of $13.8 million.This special dividend occurred during the 3rd quarter of 1997 and was funded from the prepayment proceeds from the Timber Ridge PIMI and Canyon Ridge PIM.These decreases were slightly offset by lower total expenses of $86,000. The Trust generally funds a portion of its dividends with principal collections which will continue to reduce the assets of the Trust thereby reducing the income generated by the Trust in the future. -13- KRUPP GOVERNMENT INCOME TRUST PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
