ORGANIZATION Bass Income Plus Fund Limited Partnership (the Partnership) was organized to engage in the acquisition of specified parcels of undeveloped real estate and to construct, develop, operate, hold and dispose of income-producing, multifamily residential apartment complexes. At formation, the limited partnership interest consisted of two classes of units, income units and growth units. Each investment in limited partnership interest consisted of 60% income units and 40% growth units. Limited partnership interests had been sold at $100 per unit for a total of $15,482,000. During December 1989, the Partnership obtained mortgage financing on the rental properties. The proceeds from the mortgage financing were used to return the full amount of the capital contributions to the income unit holders for a total distribution of $9,289,200. Under the terms of the partnership agreement, net income (loss) is to be allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the general partners. Cash distributions from operations are to be distributed 100% to the limited partners. Upon the sale or refinance of the partnership properties, the partnership agreement specifies certain allocations of net proceeds and taxable gain or loss from the transaction. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Partnership records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Partnership's financial position as of September 30, 1997, results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, and cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. 3. RENTAL PROPERTIES The rental properties consist of three residential apartment complexes: Arrowood Crossing, The Chase and Sabal Point II. All were constructed by an affiliate of the general partners and contain 80, 120 and 88 rental units, respectively. The complexes are located on three plots of land purchased in 1988 from the managing general partner or an affiliate of the general partners. Affiliates of the general partners own residential apartment complexes adjacent to Arrowood Crossing and Sabal Point II. These complexes are sharing expenses related to grounds, maintenance, leasing, management and other related costs. The managing general partner believes that the allocation of expenses to each partnership has been made on a reasonable basis. The Partnership has three mortgage loans payable to a financial institution secured by the three rental properties. Interest of 9.5% was payable monthly through February 1992. Thereafter, principal and interest are due in payments totaling $78,117 with the remaining principal and any accrued interest due upon maturity in January 2000. 4. GENERAL PARTNERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The general partners are Marion F. Bass (The Individual General Partner) and Marion Bass Real Estate Group, Inc., (The Managing General Partner). The rental properties are managed by Marion Bass Properties, Inc., which is wholly owned by Marion F. Bass. 7 Under the terms of the partnership agreement, the general partners or their affiliates charged certain fees and expenses during the nine-month period ending September 30, 1997 as follows: Management fee of 5% of gross revenues $ 81,428 Reimbursed maintenance salaries and benefits 66,894 Reimbursed property manager salaries and benefits 69,265 --------- $217,587 The Partnership receives from an affiliated partnership an agreed-upon amount each year for the use of its pool and clubhouse located on the Partnership's property. The Partnership has recorded as other operating income $10,224 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 under the terms of this agreement. The general partners and certain of their affiliates also perform, without cost to the Partnership, day-to-day investment, management and administrative functions of the Partnership. 8 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Liquidity and Capital Resources At September 30, 1997, partners' equity was $115,000 or 1% of total assets and cash and cash reserves amounted to $582,267. The Partnership had accrued liabilities of $121,591 that consisted of 1997 property taxes of $94,068, management fees due to an affiliate of $8,967, trade accounts payable of $17,945 and resident prepaid rent of $611. Net cash provided by operations totaled $324,812 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This is compared to net cash provided by operations of $341,423 for the corresponding period in 1996. The Partnership had three 9.5% mortgage loans in the amount of $8,872,500 outstanding at September 30, 1997. Principal payments of $68,161 were made during the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 on the amortizing mortgage loans. The 1997 operating plan and budget projects a net cash flow from partnership activities (exclusive of changes in assets and liabilities and distribution to partners) of $42,000 at Arrowood Crossing, $220,000 at The Chase, and $135,000 at Sabal Point II. The budget assumes that the Partnership will achieve occupancy rates equivalent to 95% at Arrowood Crossing, 98% at The Chase and 95% at Sabal Point II. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, actual combined average economic occupancy was 96% and actual net cash flow from partnership activities (exclusive of changes in assets and liabilities and distribution to partners) was $231,903. Rents have been increased 3% over rates charged in 1996 to offset any normal increase in operating expenses. Capital expenditures of $74,000, $30,000 and $32,000 are budgeted for Arrowood Crossing, The Chase and Sabal Point II, respectively, and include mainly selected carpet and vinyl replacements and exterior painting of Arrowood Crossing. As of September 30, 1997, actual combined nonrecurring replacement expenses and additions to rental properties have totaled $146,139. On the basis of these estimates and year-to-date results, the Partnership believes that the cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet cash requirements, build cash reserves and provide distributions to partners. Funds totaling $300,000 provided by cash reserves and 1996 operational net cash flow were distributed to limited partners in May 1997. The next available distribution to partners is scheduled for the first quarter of 1998 and the amount is dependent upon 1997 operating results. Results of Operations The following discussion relates to the Partnership's operation of Arrowood Crossing, The Chase and Sabal Point II for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. Results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 1997 reflect an average economic occupancy of 95% compared to 99% for the corresponding period in 1996. A third quarter comparison of 1997 and 1996 reflects higher rental income of $2,988 during 1997 due to rents being increased 3% over rates charged in 1996. Overall, total income for the third quarter ended September 30, 1997 was $7,539 higher than the corresponding period in 1996. Operating expenses were $291,003 for the three months ended September 30, 1997, compared to $294,031 for the corresponding period in 1996 which reflects a variance of $3,028. Fees and expenses to affiliates that consist of a management fee of 5% of gross revenues and the reimbursement of complex employee salaries and benefits were higher by $960. This increase was due to the cost of additional maintenance personnel. Property taxes and insurance were higher by $1,377 due to increased rates. Utilities were higher by $3,171 due to increased utility rates and resident usage. Advertising was higher by $4,878 due to concessions offered to new residents and marketing efforts to increase the average occupancy. Other operating expenses of ($1,288) reflected collection of prior period income that had been written off as bad debt 9 After interest expense of $211,091 and nonoperating expenses (partnership expenses and nonrecurring replacement costs) of $43,556, partnership operations recognized a net income of $18,974 for the three months ended September 30, 1997. This is compared to a net loss of $4,030 for the corresponding period in 1996. Overall the Partnership recognized a net increase in total revenues of $32,591 (due to rents being increased 3% over rates charged in 1996) and a net decrease in total operating expenses of $33,207 (due mainly to a 1997 adjustment in deprecation and amortization) for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the corresponding period in 1996. After interest expense of $634,892 and nonoperating expenses of $147,582 (partnership expenses and nonrecurring replacement costs) the Partnership had a net income of $36,457 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This is compared to a net income of $19,485 for the corresponding period in 1996. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings Response: None Item 2.
