Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Partnership liquidity is adequate and distributions to Limited Partners are currently $120,000.00 per quarter. This rate of distributions is planned to continue as reserves increase. There is no current intention to increase the distributions until the Partnership has paid all of its outstanding debts. Results of Operations The Partnership continued to operate at a break-even rate in the second quarter 1997. This result is not indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year, due to the seasonal nature of the almond growing business. Almonds are harvested in August through October and the crop revenues and expenses are recognized at that time. Since the partnership's crop care has not been completed for this growing season, it is not possible to say if cultural costs will be higher or lower than last year's costs. At this time though, it seems that cultural costs will be substantially the same as last year. The 1997 California almond crop is expected to be at a near record level. This will have an effect of the prices received for the Partnership almond crop, but it is too early to assess the effect. PART II Item No. - -------- 1.
