Nature of Business: The Partnership was formed in July 1986 to acquire, operate, hold for investment and sell real estate. The two properties currently owned are the BB&T Building (formerly the UCB building) in Greenville, South Carolina, and the EastPark Executive Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. 2. Opinion of Management: In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (all 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 Limited 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, 1996, the cumulative unpaid priority return to the unit holders was $1,924,049 compared to $1,681,265 one year prior. This increase resulted from no distributions being made to partners during the year and the pro rata share due partners pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement. 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 Partnership properties would produce net sale proceeds sufficient to pay the 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. 5 6 YAGER/KUESTER PUBLIC FUND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP MANAGEMENT'S 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, 1996 to September 30, 1997. Accounts receivable has decreased since year end due to the receipt of payment from the GSA for certain reimburseable items on their upfit at the EastPark facility. Accrued expenses, as well as cash and cash equivalents, have decreased from year end due to the payment of the 1996 real property taxes in January 1997. The Partnership continues to accrue monthly for the 1997 real property taxes to be paid in January 1998; therefore accrued expenses will continue to increase each quarter of 1997. In the third quarter, approximately $17,000 was expended for capital improvements. These capital expenditures included parking lot improvements at both the EastPark and Branch, Banking & Trust facility (formerly the UCB facility). Liquidity and Capital Resources During the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Partnership continued to fund working capital requirements, and the working capital deficit was reduced by approximately $24,000 from December 31, 1996. The $1,000,000 line of credit with First Union which was due and payable on April 30, 1997, was renewed on similar terms for an additional year. No distributions were paid to the limited partners this quarter, resulting in an increase to their cumulative unpaid priority return. (See note 4 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.) Results of Operations Net income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 is down approximately $107,000 compared to the same period of the prior year. Net income from operations for the third quarter is also down as compared to the same period of the prior year by approximately $20,000. Rental income for the third quarter is up $12,500 as compared to the same period of the prior year but overall is down by $5,697 for the year. This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in common area maintenance ("CAM") charges as provided in the leases at the BB&T building. Operating expenses for the first nine months of 1997 are up by approximately $101,000. This is primarily due to the increase in depreciation expense as a result of the completion and capitalization of the IRS upfit at the EastPark Executive Center. Expenses relating to repairs and maintenance are also up for the year. These same factors also accounted for the increase in expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 1997. Occupancy rate is currently 100% at the BB&T building and 98% at the EastPark building. Status of Sales/Leasing Efforts; Future Matters The General Partners earlier this year decided to focus efforts on lengthening the leases with the current tenants. To facilitate in these efforts, the General Partners have executed a one-year listing agreement with a Charlotte-based real estate broker. The General Partners believe that longer-term leases would support a higher asking price for the facilities than would be the case with short-term leases. The Partnership is currently in negotiation with BB&T (successor to UCB) regarding an extension of the bank's lease at the BB&T facility. 6 7 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
