PART I-FINANCIAL INFORMATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Partnership,
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
It is believed, however, that the disclosures are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the Partnership's December 31, 2003, audited financial
statements and notes thereto.
NOTE 2 - INTEREST INCOME
During 2002, the Partnership sold three ranches due to low production, and
financed the sales through long term mortgage notes, with interest ranging from
6% to 7.5%. The Partnership has sold all of these notes in an effort to
liquidate the remaining assets held.
PART I-FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Introduction
- ------------
In the ordinary course of business, the Partnership has made a number
of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations
and financial condition in the preparation of its financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under
different assumptions and conditions. The Partnership believes the following
discussion addresses the most critical accounting policies, which are those that
are most important to the portrayal of the Partnership's financial condition and
results. The Partnership re-evaluates these significant factors as necessary and
makes adjustments where facts and circumstances dictate.
Historically, actual results have not significantly deviated from those
determined using the necessary estimates inherent in the preparation of
financial statements. Estimates and assumptions have included, but were not
limited to: estimated price per pound, useable lives of the orchards and related
assets, collectibility of receivables, and the deferral of certain crop costs.
These accounting policies were applied consistently for all years presented.
Information about the impact on our operating results is included in the
footnotes to our consolidated financial statements. "
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The cash proceeds from the sale of the properties and notes receivable
are being deposited in the Partnership's money market account at Charles Schwab.
The balance as of September 30, 2004, was $3,170,832.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
The Partnership is currently in the process of liquidation. All
properties and notes receivable have been sold. The final note sale closed on
July 7, 2004. With the deposit of the note sale proceeds into the liquidation
account the balance will be in excess of $3,170,000. The only remaining asset of
the Partnership to be liquidated was the final payment for the 2003 almond crop.
This payment in the amount of $77,385 was received on October 15, 2004. These
proceeds were deposited in the liquidation account at Charles Schwab.
With the sale of the final note receivable and the receipt of the final
payment for the 2003 almond crop, all of the Partnership assets have been sold
and the Partnership will be liquidated in December 2004.
Item 3 - Controls and Procedures
Within the 90 day period prior to the date of this report, the
Partnership carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of the General
Partner and the General Partner's management, including its Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to
Exchange Act Rule 15d-14 ( c ). Based *on that evaluation, the General Partner
concluded that the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures are
effective in a timely manner to alert them to material information relating to
the Partnership which is required to be included in the Partnership's periodic
Securities and Exchange Commission filings. There have been no significant
changes in the Partnership's internal controls or in other factors that could
significantly affect these controls subsequent to the evaluation date.
