(A Limited Partnership) Notes to Financial Statements April 30, 1997 (unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Financial Statement Adjustments and Footnote Disclosure ------------------------------------------------------- The accompanying financial statements are unaudited. However, Boettcher Affiliated Investors L.P., ("BAILP"), the Managing General Partner of Boettcher Pension Investors Ltd. (the "Partnership"), believes all material adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been made and that such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Certain information and footnotes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. BAILP believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading and suggests that the condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Boettcher Pension Investors Ltd. October 31, 1996 Annual Report. (2) Significant Accounting Principles --------------------------------- Environmental Remediation Liabilities Liabilities for loss contingencies, including environmental remediation costs, arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties, and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated. The costs of site clean-up are recorded in the amount of the cash payments made or for future estimated costs for that site when fixed or reliably determinable based upon information derived from the remediation plan for that site. Recoveries from third parties which are probable of realization are separately recorded, and are not offset against the related environmental liability. In October 1996, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 96-1, Environmental Remediation Liabilities. SOP 96-1 will be adopted by the Partnership during fiscal 1997 and will require, among other things, environmental remediation liabilities to be accrued when the criteria of SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, have been met. The SOP also provides guidance with respect to the measurement of the remediation costs and therefore, adoption of this new statement will not have a material impact on the Partnership's financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Financial Instruments The fair value of the Partnership's financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the short maturities of those instruments or due to the interest rates of those instruments approximating interest rates for similar issues. 7 BOETTCHER PENSION INVESTORS LTD. (A Limited Partnership) Notes to Financial Statements April 30, 1997 (unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Use of Estimates Management of the Partnership has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Business and Credit Concentrations The Partnership's remaining real estate investment, Parkway Village Shopping Center, is located in Provo, Utah. Three national tenants account for fifty percent of the rental income. The Partnership estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the credit worthiness of its customers as well as general economic conditions. Consequently, an adverse change in those factors could effect the Partnership's estimate of its bad debts. At April 30, 1997, the Partnership had $96,784 of tenant receivables from current and former tenants of the Parkway Village Shopping Center for which an allowance for doubtful accounts have been established. Income Taxes No provision has been made for federal income taxes, as the taxable income (loss) is reported by the partners rather than the Partnership. The Partnership reports certain transactions differently for tax and financial statement purposes, primarily depreciation. Real Estate Investments Properties held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair market value, which exceeds or approximates independent appraised values. Building and improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 30 years. Equipment and furnishings are depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 10 years. Renewals and betterments are capitalized and repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets In March of 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ("SFAS 121"), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. SFAS 121 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. SFAS 121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of. The Partnership adopted SFAS 121 effective with its fiscal year beginning November 1, 1996. 8 BOETTCHER PENSION INVESTORS LTD. (A Limited Partnership) Notes to Financial Statements April 30, 1997 (unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deferred Leasing Costs Costs associated with the leasing of the Partnership's retail shopping centers are deferred and amortized over the life of the related leases. These costs are comprised of lease commissions and construction costs related to the buildout of tenant space. Upon implementation of SFAS 121 described in detail above, deferred leasing costs have been included in real estate held for sale on the balance sheet. Statements of Cash Flows For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of the following: As of April 30, 1997 1996 ---- ---- Money market fund $746,167 $608,330 Operating cash 71,693 10,558 -------- -------- Cash and cash equivalents $817,860 $618,888 ======== ======== Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for comparability with fiscal 1997 financial statement presentation. (3) Real Estate Investment ---------------------- Parkway Village Shopping Center In fiscal 1995, a non sudden release of a dry cleaning solution, tetrachloroethylene (PERC), was reported by the dry cleaning tenant (the Tenant) at Parkway Village Shopping Center ("Parkway") to the State of Utah Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). The Tenant, utilizing the services of an environmental consulting firm, investigated the extent of the PERC release and its effect on soil and groundwater in the vicinity. The DEQ is monitoring the Tenant's progress. Although the Tenant is responsible for the costs of any required remediation, should the Tenant be unable to complete the required work due to limitations of its financial resources, it is likely that the Partnership, as owner of Parkway, would be required to complete the needed remediation. The Partnership has been advised that groundwater contamination has occurred and the Partnership on behalf of and in cooperation with the tenant, is in the process of determining the method, cost and timing of required soil and groundwater remediation measures. The Partnership has spent approximately $72,000 to date on the above mentioned testing as well as legal representation in connection with the PERC release. Management is unable at this time to estimate the full extent of additional expenses that may be incurred. Due to groundwater contamination, the Partnership may incur 9 BOETTCHER PENSION INVESTORS LTD. (A Limited Partnership) Notes to Financial Statements April 30, 1997 (unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- significant additional remediation costs. The estimate of costs and their timing of payment could change as a result of (1) changes to a remediation plan required by the DEQ, (2) changes in technology available to treat the site, (3) unforeseen circumstances existing at the site and (4) differences between actual inflation rates and rates assumed in preparing the estimate. The ultimate resolution of this matter and its impact on the Partnership's financial statements is uncertain. (4) Transactions with Related Parties --------------------------------- BAILP is the Managing Agent of the Partnership and is paid property management, loan servicing, and acquisition fees for its services to the Partnership. The property management fee is equal to 5% of gross receipts from the properties, less management fees paid to others. The property management fee earned by BAILP amounted to $6,521 for the six months ended April 30, 1997. The Partnership also reimburses BAILP for its allocable share of salaries of nonmanagement and nonsupervisory personnel providing accounting, investor reporting and communications, and legal services to the Partnership and allowable expenses related to the maintenance and repair of data processing equipment used for or by the Partnership. The amount due BAILP for such reimbursements amounted to $6,606 for the six months ended April 30, 1997. (5) Property Held for Sale ---------------------- As of April 30, 1997, the Partnership has recorded its remaining real estate investment as property held for sale. The Managing General Partner is attempting to sell the remaining property ("Parkway") and liquidate the Partnership in 1997. However, there can be no assurances that the Partnership will sell Parkway in 1997. The Partnership's ability to sell Parkway may be adversely affected by the existence and remediation of the dry cleaning solution contamination at the property, as more fully discussed in Note 3. The Partnership has entered into a listing agreement with an unrelated real estate firm to act as the exclusive selling agent for the sale of Parkway. The Managing General Partner believes that the sale of this property, if consummated, will generate net proceeds to the Partnership after the payment of sales costs, closing costs and the mortgage payable at Parkway; however, the sale transaction may include cash at closing and deferred payments to the Partnership. The Partnership intends to apply net sales proceeds to first, pay its remaining liability to the Managing General Partner and the remaining costs of the liquidation of the Partnership and other liabilities as determined by the Managing General Partner arising out of or in connection with the operations of the Partnership and/or the sale of Parkway; then to make a final distribution to limited partners. 10 Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results ----------------------------------------------------------------------- and Operations -------------- Results of Operations - --------------------- For the three and six months ended April 30, 1997, the Partnership generated total revenue of $279,295 and $568,187 and incurred total expenses in the amount of $217,852 and $452,599, resulting in net earnings of $61,443 and $115,588, respectively. The Partnership's net earnings increased $57,020 and $107,692 for the three and six months ended April 30, 1997 when compared with the corresponding period of fiscal 1996. The most significant factors affecting the Partnership's results of operations were decreased total expenses in most categories, as a result of the sale of Lindsay-Main Plaza ("Lindsay") in the third quarter of fiscal 1996, as well as the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ("SFAS 121") in fiscal 1997. SFAS 121 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. SFAS 121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of; specifically it requires the elimination of depreciation and amortization related to those long-lived assets to be disposed of. For the quarter ended April 30, 1997, depreciation and amortization related to the Partnership's real estate held for sale eliminated by the adoption of SFAS 121 approximated $50,000. A summary of the Partnership's operations and period-to- period comparisons is presented below: Three Months Ended April 30 Six Months Ended April 30 (dollars in thousands) (dollars in thousands) ----------------------------- --------------------------- Amount Amount of % of % 1997 1996 Change Change 1997 1996 Change Change ----- ---- ------ ------ ---- ---- ------ ------ Total revenue $ 279 307 (28) (9%) $568 616 (48) (8%) Total expenses 218 303 (85) (28%) 453 608 (155) (25%) ----- ---- ---- --- Net earnings $ 61 4 57 $115 8 107 ===== ==== === ==== === ===== In making period-to-period comparisons, the exclusion of the operations of Lindsay from the results of fiscal 1996 allows for a more meaningful analysis of the operations of the Partnership's ongoing operations. For comparison purposes only, if the operations of Lindsay had been excluded from revenue and expenses in the applicable periods of fiscal 1996, the Partnership's Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended April 30, 1997 compared with the same period in fiscal 1996 would have been as follows: Three Months Ended April 30 Six Months Ended April 30 (dollars in thousands) (dollars in thousands) ----------------------------- ---------------------------- Pro Amount Pro Amount Forma of % Forma of % 1997 1996 Change Change 1997 1996 Change Change ----- ----- ------ ------ ----- ----- ------- ------ Total revenue $279 277 2 1% $568 557 11 2% Total expenses 218 271 (53) (20%) 453 555 (102) (19%) ---- ---- ---- ---- Net earnings $ 61 6 55 $115 2 113 ==== ==== === ==== ==== ==== 11 In analyzing the pro forma amounts shown above, which exclude the results of Lindsay, total revenue generated by the Partnership for the three and six months ended April 30, 1997 was $279,295 and $568,187, representing increases of $1,715 (1%) and $10,902 (2%) when compared with the corresponding periods in fiscal 1996. The Partnership's remaining property, Parkway Village Shopping Center ("Parkway") generated rental income of $476,679 for the first half of fiscal 1997, representing an increase of $6,247 (1%) when compared to the first half of fiscal 1996. Parkway Village's average occupancy increased to 99% from 94% in the corresponding quarter of fiscal 1996 and the average effective rental rate decreased $.48 to $9.48 for the second quarter of fiscal 1997, when compared with the second quarter of fiscal 1996. Tenant reimbursements and other income decreased $1,828 (5%) and increased $1,240 (2%) for the three and six months ended April 30, 1997, respectively, when compared to the corresponding periods of fiscal 1996, due to the increased occupancy at Parkway which resulted in more reimbursable expenses billed back to tenants. The decrease in the current period is due to finalization of fiscal 1996 billings to tenants for common area maintenance charges. A comparative summary of average occupancy and average effective rental rates for the Partnership's properties is presented below: Three months ended April 30, --------------------- Shopping Center 1997 1996 - --------------- ------ ------ Parkway Village (102,356 net rentable square feet) Average occupancy 99% 94% Average effective rental rate/(a)/ $9.48 $9.96 Lindsay-Main Plaza (37,000 net rentable square feet) Average occupancy N/A (b) 40% Average effective rental rate/(a)/ N/A (b) $5.24 (a) Average effective rental rates are stated in terms of an average annual rate per square foot. Effective rates take into account the effect of leasing concessions and bad debts. These rates are "triple net". In addition to this base rent, the majority of tenants pay their pro rata share of taxes, insurance and common area maintenance expenses at the property. (b) Lindsay-Main Plaza was sold on May 8, 1996. Based on the pro forma amounts presented previously, total expenses incurred by the Partnership for the three and six months ended April 30, 1997 were $217,852 and $452,599, representing decreases of $53,055 (20%) and $102,816 (19%) when compared with the proforma quarters of fiscal 1996. Excluding the impact of the adoption of SFAS 121, expenses related to the operations of the Partnership's remaining real estate investment remained relatively constant in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 when compared to fiscal 1996. A decrease in property tax expense of $7,095 (20%) to $28,726 for the six months ended April 30, 1997 from $35,821 in the corresponding period of fiscal 1996 is due to the reassessment of commercial property taxes throughout the state of Utah. This decrease is offset by an increase in repair and maintenance expense of $6,086 (23%) to $32,460 for the six months ended April 30, 1997 compared to 12 $26,374 for the corresponding period in fiscal 1996. Heavier snowfall in the current year and roof repairs completed in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 are the primary reasons for the increase. Environmental expenses related to the remediation of dry cleaning solution contamination at Parkway, more fully discussed in Note 3 of the Financial Statements, amounted to $6,342 for the three months ended April 30, 1997. There were no expenses of this nature in the comparable quarter of fiscal 1996. General and administrative expense decreased $34,466 (43%) to $45,677 for the six months ended April 30, 1997 from $80,143 for the comparable period in fiscal 1996. This is the result of decreased professional fees and the inclusion of certain expenses related to the sale of one of the Partnership's former real estate investments in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. Liquidity and Capital Resources Combined cash and cash equivalent balances, which represent Partnership cash reserves, were $817,860 at April 30, 1997, representing an increase of $149,926 when compared with fiscal 1996 year-end balances. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended April 30, 1997 amounted to $187,475. As a result of the payment of property tax liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal 1997, property taxes payable decreased $37,242. The payable to Managing General Partner increased $56,564, to $84,782 at April 30, 1997, when compared to the fiscal 1996 year-end balance, primarily due to cash advances of approximately $20,000 in the current quarter and to the accrual of fees and reimbursable expenses related to operations in the first half of fiscal 1997. Net cash used in investing activities in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 amounted to $2,732 and is comprised solely of deferred leasing costs included under the caption real estate held for sale on the balance sheet. The Partnership's deferred leasing costs in fiscal 1997 include costs related to lease commissions and tenant improvements associated with the leasing of vacant space to new tenants and the renewal of existing tenants at Parkway. Net cash used by financing activities amounted to $34,817 in the first half of fiscal 1997, the result of reductions in mortgage principal related to the Parkway mortgage. To the knowledge of the Managing General Partner, it's remaining property is generally in good physical condition. In fiscal 1997 other than tenant finish costs and lease commissions associated with the ongoing leasing efforts at Parkway, there are no other material capital improvements planned. It is currently anticipated that the funds required for such expenditures would be made available either from cash flow generated from property operations or from Partnership cash reserves. The Partnership is required under its Partnership Agreement to maintain cash reserves of not less than 2% of aggregate capital contributions from limited partners for normal repairs, replacements, working capital and other contingencies. As of April 30, 1997, the Partnership had $817,860 in cash reserves, while the minimum required amount was $214,340. The Partnership intends to apply net cash flow generated from Partnership operations in fiscal 1997 to maintain sufficient cash reserves as determined by the Managing General Partner including amounts required to fund liabilities arising from the environmental contamination at Parkway, more fully discussed in Note 3 of the Financial Statements. 13 As of April 30, 1997 the Partnership has recorded its remaining real estate investment as property held for sale. The Managing General Partner is attempting to sell its remaining property ("Parkway") and liquidate the Partnership in 1997. However, there can be no assurances that the Partnership will sell Parkway in 1997. The Partnership's ability to sell Parkway may be adversely affected by the existence and remediation of the dry cleaning solution contamination at the property, as more fully described in Note 3 to the Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report. The Partnership has entered into a listing agreement with an unrelated real estate firm to act as the exclusive selling agent for the sale of Parkway. The Managing General Partner believes that the sale of this property, if consummated, will generate net proceeds to the Partnership after the payment of sales costs, closing costs and the mortgage payable at Parkway; however, the sale transaction may include cash at closing and deferred payments to the Partnership. The Partnership intends to apply net sales proceeds to first, pay its remaining liability to the Managing General Partner and the remaining costs of the liquidation of the Partnership and other liabilities as determined by the Managing General Partner arising out of or in connection with the operations of the Partnership and/or the sale of Parkway; then to make a final distribution to limited partners. 14 PART II.
