YAGER/KUESTER PUBLIC FUND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. Nature of Business: The Partnership was formed in July 1986 to acquire, operate, hold for investment and sell real estate. The Partnership currently owns the EastPark Executive Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. On April 24, 1998, the Partnership sold its only other real property holding, the BB&T building facilities (formerly the UCB building) located in Greenville, South Carolina. 2. Opinion of Management: In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (all of which were normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for an entire year. 3. Statement of Cash Flows: For purposes of reporting the statements of cash flows, the Partnership includes all cash accounts, which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents on the accompanying condensed balance sheets. 4. Priority Return: At December 31, 2002, the cumulative unpaid priority return to the unit holders was $3,380,753 compared to $3,137,969 one year prior. This increase resulted from no distributions being made to partners during the year. Based on the current and projected commercial real estate market conditions, the General Partners believe that it is reasonably unlikely that a sale of the remaining Partnership property would produce net sale proceeds sufficient to pay any of such priority return. Furthermore, the General Partners believe that it is reasonably unlikely that the Partnership's operating income or any refinancing of Partnership debt would generate sufficient funds to pay any portion of the priority return.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Changes in Financial Condition There have not been any significant changes in financial condition from December 31, 2002 to June 30, 2003. Accrued expenses have increased slightly from year-end due to the monthly accrual of the 2003 real property taxes. Liquidity and Capital Resources During the quarter ended June 30, 2003, the Partnership operations continued to meet working capital requirements and working capital was increased by approximately $35,000 since year-end. The working capital as of June 30, 2003 was $165,608. Cash distributions in the amount of $4,388 were paid out during the first quarter. These distributions represented the 2002 Federal and North Carolina tax paid on behalf of foreign and non-resident partners. Results of Operations Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2003 are slightly more favorable as comparable to the same period of the prior year. Rental income is up approximately 2% due to escalation increases for the current tenants and for common area maintenance reimbursements received. Overall, operating expenses are down approximately 5.5% as compared to the same period of the prior year primarily due to the decrease in repairs and maintenance and utilities. However, the General Partners expect to incur approximately $40,000 in parking lot repairs during the third quarter of 2003. Interest expense continues to be down from the prior year due to the decrease in interest rates on the floating rate loan. Status of EastPark Executive Center The General Partners remain committed to selling the EastPark facility and continue to have it listed with a commercial real estate broker. At this time, the facility is not under contract with any potential buyers. The General Partners are also working towards extending the leases with the current tenants. Although the facility is 91% leased, all current tenants have the option to terminate their leases currently or within the next year. The GSA has the option to cancel its lease upon ninety (90) days written notice and accounts for 85% of the total rental income; accordingly, the General Partners will focus their lease extension efforts on a GSA extension. However, no assurances can be given that a replacement tenant could be found if GSA decides to terminate its lease. The General Partners will continue to search for the best offer for the property and manage it at acceptable standards until such time as it can sell the property to a qualified buyer. Forward-Looking Statements This report contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of the Partnership. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. ITEM 4.
