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 the BB&T building facilities (formerly the UCB building) in Greenville, South 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, 1997, the cumulative unpaid priority return to the unit holders was $2,166,833 compared to $1,924,049 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. 5 6 YAGER/KUESTER PUBLIC FUND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Changes in Financial Condition As a result of the sale of the BB&T building (See "Results of Operations" below), properties held for lease as well as total long-term debt has decreased since year end. The long-term portion of the debt has been reclassified to current maturities, as this loan on the EastPark facility matures on June 30, 1999 (See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below). The Partnership continues to accrue monthly for the 1998 real property taxes to be paid in January 1999; therefore accrued expenses will continue to increase each quarter of 1998. Liquidity and Capital Resources During the quarter ended September 30,1998, the Partnership continued to fund working capital requirements, and the working capital deficit was reduced by $2,118,704 from December 31,1997. This reduction in the working capital deficit is mainly attributable to the use of the proceeds from the sale of the BB&T Building to payoff the First Union note on this property as well as to pay down $500,000 on the First Union line of credit for the upfit of the EastPark facility. The two loans on the EastPark facility mature on June 30, 1999. The General Partners are not considering refinance options at this time, in the anticipation of a sale before the maturity date. The General Partners believe that refinancing on acceptable terms could be obtained if the EastPark Facility was not sold before the maturity dates. 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, 1998 is down approximately $282,000 compared to the same period of the prior year. The main factor for this decrease is the $175,000 loss on the sale of the BB&T building in April. Net income form operations for the third quarter is down as compared to the same period of the prior year by approximately $14,000. Rental revenue is down $163,000 for the third quarter and operating expenses for the third quarter of 1998 are down by approximately $88,000, all of which relate to the disposition of the BB&T building. The occupancy rate at the EastPark facility is currently 80.2%. A lease signed in the third quarter for approximately 3,800 square feet will bring the occupancy to 90%. This three-year lease will commence in January 1999, with an initial rental per square foot of $13.80 escalating to $14.64 in year three. As a condition of the lease, approximately $40,000 in upfit costs will be incurred. Status of East Park Facility The General Partners are continuing to focus on selling the EastPark facility and continue to have it listed with a Charlotte-based real estate broker. The General Partners are also working on increasing the occupancy at EastPark (See "Results of Operations" above). The General Partners believe that the higher occupancy would support a higher asking price for the EastPark facility. 6 7 Risks Associated with Year 2000 The Partnership, in its day to day operations, relies upon various computer software and hardware that may be adversely affected by the change in the millennium, from 1999 to 2000. In general, information systems experts have predicted that a wide variety of problems, from systems failures to data entry and transfer errors, will result from the turn of the century. Repeated systems failures, data entry and transfer errors and similar computer problems would result in a material adverse effect on the Partnership and its operations. However, the Partnership has examined its computer hardware and software and, based on such examination, does not reasonably anticipate any significant internal problems as a result of the change in millennium. The Partnership may, however, be materially and adversely affected by external systems problems, problems over which the Partnership has minimal control. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
