In the opinion of the Trust, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Trust's financial position as of September 30, 1995, and the results of its operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994. The accounting policies followed by the Trust are set forth in Note 1 to the Trust's financial statements in the 1994 Form 10-K, which are incorporated herein by reference. 2. In 1987, the Trust elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust and, as such, will not be taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to shareholders provided that at least 95% of its real estate investment trust taxable income is distributed. The Trust intends to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the financial statements. 8 USA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Rent revenues increased $70,515 and $27,695 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1994. Interest revenues decreased $1,853 and $74,954 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1994, primarily due to the collection of the $940,000 note receivable collateralized by 151 and 175 Opportunity Street in December, 1994. Operating expenses decreased $150,688 and $501,226 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1994. The decrease is primarily due to the cost to repair uninsured earthquake damage at 19401 Parthenia Street, in Northridge, California, incurred in 1994. Repairs related to the earthquake damage were $83,048 and $373,464 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1994, respectively. Property management decreased $24,417 and $79,340 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1994, because of the termination of the former property management agreement and the hiring of a new property manager who provided similar service at a reduced cost. Interest expense decreased $92,665 and $216,560 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1994, due to lower outstanding borrowings and lower interest rates. The legal settlement was attributed to the settlement of all litigation with its former advisor. The Trust is not now engaged in litigation in any court with any party. The loss on disposition of investments for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 was attributed to the payoff of a note receivable in June, 1994, which had been delinquent since 1991. The gain on sale of rental properties for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, was attributed to the sale of 1450 Hatch Road in Ceres, California in May, 1995. CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY The Trust anticipates that operating income, proceeds from the sale of rental properties, collections on notes receivable, and borrowings collateralized by specific properties will provide for its future liquidity and capital resource needs. 9 PART II.
