Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year end. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. In the opinion of NAPICO, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Partnership as of March 31, 1997, and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the three months then ended. ORGANIZATION The Partnership was formed under the California Limited Partnership Act on March 9, 1984. The general partners are National Partnership Investments Corp. ("NAPICO"), a California corporation, and Real Estate Services XIII Inc., a Delaware corporation. Casden Investment Corporation owns 100 percent of NAPICO's stock. LB I Group Inc. owns 100 percent of the stock of Real Estate Services XIII Inc. The Partnership was formed to invest in a diversified portfolio of apartment complexes. The Partnership offered 45,000 limited partnership interests ("Units") at $1,000 each, of which 21,500 were sold through a public offering. The terms of the Partnership's Amended and Restated Certificate and Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement") provide, among other things, for allocation to the partners of profits, losses and any special allocations with respect thereto. Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, cash available for distribution is allocated 90 percent to the limited partners as a group and 10 percent to the general partners. The Partnership originally invested in five apartment buildings. Two of such buildings were contributed to a separate limited partnership in exchange for a subordinated limited partner interest therein, which, in turn, exchanged the buildings for an interest in a publicly traded Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT"). The Partnership sold the REIT stock it received as a result of that exchange in November 1996 for $890,371. One building was foreclosed upon by the lender in June 1993 and one building was substantially destroyed in the January 17, 1994 earthquake in the Los Angeles area and was sold in May 1996. The other building was sold in April 1996. Distributions of $2,823,700 were paid to the limited partners during 1996. Accordingly, since the Partnership's primary assets at December 31, 1996 consisted of cash of approximately $345,000 and certain short-term receivables and other claims, the Partnership was dissolved effective December 31, 1996. 5 8 REAL AMERICAN PROPERTIES (A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) MARCH 31, 1997 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) NAPICO was appointed the liquidation agent for the Partnership pursuant to a Liquidation Agreement, made as of December 1, 1996, among the Partnership, NAPICO, and RES XIII. Under the terms of the Liquidation Agreement, the liquidation agent will pursue collection of the Partnership's outstanding receivables and other non-liquid assets and, subject to the approval of RES XIII, cause the Partnership's final tax returns and reports to be filed. Upon collection and liquidation of the Partnership's remaining assets, the liquidation agent will cause the final distribution(s) to be paid to the partners in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership. The liquidation agent shall be entitled to (a) utilize its reasonable discretion in liquidating the Partnership's remaining assets and (b) reimbursement for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in conforming its duties under the Liquidation Agreement. As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership's remaining assets consisted of cash of approximately $345,000 and certain short-term receivables and other claims, and its remaining liabilities consisted of approximately $112,000 of accounts payable. The Partnership's remaining assets and liabilities were assigned to NAPICO as the liquidation agent under the Liquidation Agreement, and were reflected as a net distribution of approximately $233,000 to the limited partners, which is due from NAPICO, subject to the payment of costs and expenses of the liquidation. During the three months ended March 31, 1997, NAPICO incurred net expenses of 19,306 on behalf of the Partnership. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. RENTAL PROPERTY AND DEPRECIATION There are no remaining rental properties owned by the Partnership, therefore no rental property cost and accumulated depreciation are included in the March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996 financial statements. NET LOSS PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST Net loss per limited partnership interest was computed by dividing the limited partners' share of net loss by 21,500, the number of limited partnership interests outstanding for the periods presented. 6 9 REAL AMERICAN PROPERTIES (A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) MARCH 31, 1997 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS The Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Improvement of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of as of January 1, 1996 without a significant effect on its financial statements. The Partnership reviews long-lived assets to determine if there has been any permanent impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Partnership recognizes an impairment loss. NOTE 2 - INCOME TAXES No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements as such taxes, if any, are the liability of the individual partners. NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Partnership had entered into agreements with an affiliate of NAPICO to manage the operations of the West Colonial and Northridge rental properties owned by the Partnership. The agreements changed to a month-to-month basis and provided, among other things, for a management fee equal to 5% of gross revenue for West Colonial through July 23, 1995 and approximately $2,450 per month for the Northridge property through the date of sale. Management fees charged by the NAPICO affiliate under these agreements were approximately $7,400 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. On July 24, 1995, management of West Colonial was transferred to an independent property management firm. The management agreement was on a month-to-month basis and provided for a management fee of 3.5% of gross revenue, equal to $6,614 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. NOTE 4 - CONTINGENCIES NAPICO is involved in various lawsuits arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of NAPICO, the claims will not result in any material liability to the Partnership. 7 10 REAL AMERICAN PROPERTIES (A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) MARCH 31, 1997 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY The Partnership received a total of $10,750,000 in subscriptions for units of limited partnership interests (at $1,000 per unit) during the period September 12, 1985 to February 28, 1986, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11. $10,750,000 in subscriptions were received pursuant to the exercise of warrants and the sale of additional limited partnership interests from April 1, 1986 to May 31, 1986. The Partnership's primary sources of funds are income from rental operations and interest income on money market funds and certificates of deposit. The Partnership acquired five apartment complexes since inception, one of which was foreclosed by the lender in 1993. In 1992, two of the Partnership's properties (the Del Coronado Properties) were contributed to 843 South Longmore Limited Partnership, an unaffiliated limited partnership, and such buildings were thereafter sold by said partnership for REIT shares in August of 1995. The remaining two apartment complexes of West Colonial and Northridge were sold in 1996, In August 1995, the Del Coronado properties were sold by 843 South Longmore Limited Partnership to a publicly held Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT"). The net proceeds of $5,682,262 paid to 843 South Longmore Limited Partnership was in the form of limited partnership interests in the operating partnership controlled by the REIT. Of the net proceeds, the Partnership received an allocation equivalent to 23,524 shares, which were converted to REIT stock. The Partnership sold the REIT stock in November 1996 for $891,000 and recognized a gain in that amount because the investment was being carried at a zero balance. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Rental operations consisted primarily of rental income and depreciation expense, debt service, and normal operating expenses to maintain the properties. Depreciation was provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the buildings and equipment. Substantially all of the rental units were leased on a month-to-month basis. Partnership operations consisted primarily of interest income earned on certificates of deposit and other temporary investment of funds. Operating expenses of the Partnership consist substantially of recurring general and administrative expenses and professional fees for services rendered to the Partnership. 8 11 REAL AMERICAN PROPERTIES (A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) MARCH 31, 1997 PART II.
