These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. See notes to financial statements included in the Partnership's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information relating to the Partnership's financial statements. NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS - ---------------------------------- Copley Realty Income Partners 4; A Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") is a Massachusetts limited partnership organized for the purpose of investing primarily in newly-constructed and existing income-producing real properties. The Partnership commenced operations in September 1989, and acquired its remaining real estate investment prior to 1991. The Partnership intends to dispose of its investments within nine years of acquisition, and then liquidate. The Partnership has engaged AEW Real Estate Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor") to provide asset management advisory services. NOTE 2 - REAL ESTATE JOINT VENTURES - ----------------------------------- The following summarized financial information is presented for the joint venture in which the Partnership has an interest: Assets and Liabilities ---------------------- June 30, 1999 December 31, 1998 ------------- ----------------- Assets Real property, at cost less accumulated depreciation of $1,167,642 and $1,084,004 $ 7,062,557 $ 7,146,195 Other 165,868 153,318 ----------- ----------- 7,228,425 7,299,513 Liabilities 60,899 70,400 ----------- ----------- Net assets $ 7,167,526 $ 7,229,113 =========== =========== COPLEY REALTY INCOME PARTNERS 4; A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP Results of Operations --------------------- Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 1998 ----------- ------------ Revenue Rental income $ 722,483 $630,823 Other income 2,110 - --------- -------- 724,593 630,823 --------- -------- Expenses Operating expenses 105,318 83,669 Depreciation and amortization 230,390 230,393 --------- -------- 335,708 314,062 --------- -------- Net income $ 388,885 $316,761 ========= ======== Liabilities and expenses exclude amounts owed and attributable to the Partnership and its affiliate on behalf of their various financing arrangements with the joint venture. In mid July, 1999, a Purchase and Sale agreement was executed by the joint venture to sell the Shasta Way investment. Although there can be no assurance that this sale will occur, it is expected to be concluded during the third quarter of 1999. NOTE 3 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT - ------------------------- Distributions of cash from operations relating to the quarter ended June 30, 1999 were made on July 29, 1999 in the aggregate amount of $92,917 ($7.71 per limited partnership unit). COPLEY REALTY INCOME PARTNERS 4; A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operations - ---------- Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- The Partnership completed its offering of units of limited partnership interest in December 1990 and a total of 11,931 units were sold. The Partnership received proceeds of $10,097,962, net of selling commissions and other offering costs, which have been used for investment in real estate and to pay related acquisition costs, or retained as working capital reserves. In July 1995, the Partnership reduced its working capital reserves by making a capital distribution of $441,447 ($37 per limited partnership unit). After the distribution, the Partnership's adjusted capital contribution was $963 per unit. On May 29, 1997, the Partnership made a capital distribution of $2,791,854 ($234 per limited partnership unit) from the sale proceeds of Hohokam, which reduced the adjusted capital contribution to $729 per unit. On November 24, 1997, the Partnership made a capital distribution of $2,004,408 ($168 per limited partnership unit) from the sale proceeds of Fairmont, which reduced the adjusted capital contribution to $561 per unit. At June 30, 1999, the Partnership had $1,309,889 in cash and cash equivalents, of which $92,917 was used for cash distributions to the partners on July 29, 1999; the remainder is being retained for working capital reserves. The source of future liquidity and cash distributions to partners will be cash generated by the Partnership's remaining real estate investment and invested cash and cash equivalents. Distributions of cash from operations related to the first two quarters of 1998 were made at the annualized rate of 7.0% on the adjusted capital contribution of $561 per unit. Cash distributions from operations related to the first two quarters of 1999 were made at the annualized rate of 5.5% on the adjusted capital contribution of $561 per unit. The decrease in the 1999 distribution rate is due to lower projected cash flow from the Shasta Way investment as a result of an anticipated 1999 sale. The carrying value of the remaining real estate investment in the financial statements at June 30, 1999 is at depreciated cost. However, it is the Partnership's policy that if the investment's carrying value is determined not to be recoverable through expected undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying value is reduced to estimated fair market value. The fair market value of such an investment is further reduced by the estimated cost of sale for properties held for sale. Carrying value may be greater or less than current appraised value. At June 30, 1999, the appraised value of the Partnership's remaining real estate investment exceeded its carrying value by approximately $1,900,000. The current appraised value of real estate investments has been determined by the Managing General Partner and is generally based on a combination of traditional appraisal approaches performed by the Advisor and independent appraisers. Because of the subjectivity inherent in the valuation process, the current appraised value may differ significantly from that which could be realized if the real estate were actually offered for sale in the marketplace. COPLEY REALTY INCOME PARTNERS 4; A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure - ------------------------------ The Year 2000 Issue is a result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Computer programs that have date-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 miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions or engage in normal business operations. The Partnership relies on AEW Capital Management L.P. ("AEW Capital Management"), the parent of AEW Real Estate Advisors, Inc., to generate financial information and to provide other services which are dependent on the use of computers. The Partnership has obtained assurances from AEW Capital Management that: . AEW Capital Management has developed a Year 2000 Plan (the "Plan") consisting of five phases: inventory, assessment, testing, remediation/repair and certification . . As of September 30, 1998, AEW Capital Management had completed the inventory and assessment phases of this Plan and had commenced the testing and remediation/repair of internal systems. . AEW Capital Management concluded the internal testing, remediation/repair and certifications of its Plan in June 1999. The Partnership also relies on joint venture partners and/or property managers to supply financial and other data with respect to its real properties. The Partnership is in the process of surveying these third party providers and assessing their compliance with Year 2000 requirements. To date, the Partnership is not aware of any problems that would materially impact its results of operations, liquidity or capital resources. However, the Partnership has not yet obtained written assurances that these providers would be Year 2000 compliant. The Partnership is developing a contingency plan in the event of a particular provider or system not being Year 2000 compliant. The inability of one of these providers to complete its Year 2000 resolution process could materially impact the Partnership. In addition, the Partnership is also subject to external forces that might generally affect industry and commerce, such as utility or transportation company Year 2000 compliance failures and related service interruptions. Given the nature of its operations, the Partnership will not incur any costs associated with Year 2000 compliance. All such costs are borne by AEW Capital Management and the property managers. COPLEY REALTY INCOME PARTNERS 4; A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP Results of Operations - --------------------- Operating Factors Shasta Way is 100% occupied by a single tenant under a lease that expires December 31, 2003. Investment Results Joint venture earnings from Shasta Way were $92,758 and $162,915 for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999, respectively, compared to $71,029 and $132,624 for the comparable periods ended June 30, 1998. The increases of $21,729 and $30,291 are the result of a rental increase effective June 30, 1998. Cash flow from operations through June 30, 1999 decreased by approximately $103,000 compared with the same period in 1998. The decrease is primarily a result of a lease commission paid at Shasta Way in January of 1999. Interest on cash and cash equivalents decreased by approximately $4,500 and $7,700 between the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999, compared with the same period in 1998. The decrease is primarily due to lower investment balances and lower yields in 1999. Portfolio Expenses General and administrative expenses primarily consist of real estate appraisal, legal, accounting, printing and servicing agent fees. These expenses did not change significantly during the comparable three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999, and 1998, respectively. The Partnership management fee is 9% of distributable cash flow from operations after any increase or decrease in working capital reserves as determined by the managing general partner. Management fees decreased by $2,514 and increased by $4,983, respectively, between the comparable three and six month periods ending June 30, 1999 and 1998. The decrease is a result of the lower cash distribution rate. The increase is due to a special distribution from the operating reserve made in April 1999.
