BALCOR REALTY INVESTORS-83 (An Illinois Limited Partnership) MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Balcor Realty Investors-83 (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership formed in 1981 to invest in and operate income-producing real property. The Partnership raised $75,005,000 from sales of Limited Partnership Interests and utilized these proceeds to acquire eleven real property investments and a minority joint venture interest in one additional real property. To date, four properties and the property in which the Partnership held a minority joint venture interest have been sold or relinquished through foreclosure to the lenders. The Partnership continues to operate its seven remaining properties. Inasmuch as the management's discussion and analysis below relates primarily to the time period since the end of the last fiscal year, investors are encouraged to review the financial statements and the management's discussion and analysis contained in the annual report for 1995 for a more complete understanding of the Partnership's financial position. Operations - ---------- Summary of Operations - --------------------- The Partnership received settlement income in February 1996 related to litigation with the seller of Deer Oaks Apartments and operations at several of the Partnership's properties improved in 1996. In addition, the North Cove Apartments, which recognized a loss for financial statement purposes during the quarter ended March 31, 1995, was sold in June 1995. These are the primary reasons the Partnership generated higher net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 when compared to the same period in 1995. Further discussion of the Partnership's operations is summarized below. 1996 Compared to 1995 - --------------------- Discussions of fluctuations between 1996 and 1995 refer to the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. The sale of North Cove Apartments in June 1995 resulted in decreases in rental and service income, interest expense on mortgage notes payable, depreciation, property operating expenses, real estate taxes and property management fees during 1996 as compared to 1995. Decreases in certain of these items were also affected by the events described below. Higher occupancy rates at certain of the Partnership's properties during 1996 were offset by the June 1995 sale of the North Cove Apartments. As a result, rental and service income and, correspondingly, property management fees decreased, compared to 1995. Due to lower interest rates and lower average cash balances as a result of a special distribution to Limited Partners in October 1995, interest income on short-term investments decreased during 1996 as compared to 1995. The Partnership reached a settlement with the seller of the Deer Oaks Apartments in February 1996 and received $208,250 of settlement income relating primarily to amounts due from the seller under the management and guarantee agreement. Lower accounting fees resulted in a decrease in administrative expense during 1996 as compared to 1995. During 1995, the Partnership recognized an extraordinary gain on forgiveness of debt of $40,653 in connection with the settlement reached with the seller of the Springs Pointe and Desert Sands apartment complexes. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- The cash position of the Partnership increased by approximately $495,000 as of March 31, 1996 when compared to December 31, 1995. Cash flow of approximately $999,000 was provided by operating activities during 1996 consisting primarily of cash flow from the operations of the Partnership's properties, interest income on short-term investments and settlement income received from the seller of the Deer Oaks Apartments, which were partially offset by the payment of administrative expenses. Cash used in financing activities of approximately $504,000 consisted of distributions to the Limited Partners and principal payments on mortgage notes payable. The Partnership classifies the cash flow performance of its properties as either positive, a marginal deficit or a significant deficit, each after consideration of debt service payments unless otherwise indicated. A deficit is considered to be significant if it exceeds $250,000 annually or 20% of the property's rental and service income. The Partnership defines cash flow generated from its properties as an amount equal to the property's revenue receipts less property related expenditures, which include debt service payments. During 1996 and 1995, all of the Partnership's seven remaining properties generated positive cash flow. The North Cove Apartments, which was sold in June 1995, generated a marginal cash flow deficit during 1995 prior to its sale. As of March 31, 1996, the occupancy rates of the Partnership's properties ranged from 92% to 100%. While the cash flow of certain of the Partnership's properties have improved, the General Partner continues to pursue a number of actions aimed at improving the cash flow of the Partnership's properties including improving operating performance and seeking rent increases where market conditions allow. The General Partner believes that the market for multifamily housing properties has become increasingly favorable to sellers of these properties. Currently, the Partnership is preparing to market two properties for sale, is actively marketing an additional three properties and has entered into contracts to sell the Desert Sands Village and Eagle Crest - Phase I apartment complexes for sale prices of $14,579,423 and $9,270,000, respectively. If current market conditions remain favorable and the General Partner can obtain appropriate sale prices, the Partnership's liquidation strategy may be accelerated. Although an affiliate of the General Partner has, in certain circumstances, provided loans for certain properties of the Partnership, there can be no assurance that loans of these types will be available from either an affiliate or the General Partner in the future. During 1997, approximately $734,000 of loan financing on the Walnut Ridge - Phase II Apartments from an affiliate of the General Partner matures. Each of the Partnership's properties is owned through the use of third-party mortgage loan financing and, therefore, the Partnership is subject to the financial obligations required by such loans. The Partnership has no third party financing which matures prior to 1998. In April 1996, the Partnership paid $1,350,090 ($18.00 per Interest) to Limited Partners representing the quarterly distribution for the first quarter of 1996. This distribution includes a regular quarterly distribution of $6.00 per Interest from Net Cash Receipts and a special distribution of $12.00 per Interest from Net Cash Proceeds reserves. The level of the regular quarterly distribution increased from the amount distributed for the fourth quarter of 1995 as a result of improved cash flow from the Partnership's properties. To date, investors have received distributions of Net Cash Receipts of $81.50 and Net Cash Proceeds of $179.00, totaling $260.50 per $1,000 Interest, as well as certain tax benefits. The General Partner expects to continue quarterly distributions to Limited Partners based on the current performance of the Partnership's properties. However, the level of future distributions will depend on cash flow from the Partnership's remaining properties, and proceeds from future property sales, as to all of which there can be no assurances. In light of results to date and current market conditions, the General Partner does not anticipate that investors will recover all of their original investment. Inflation has several types of potentially conflicting impacts on real estate investments. Short-term inflation can increase real estate operating costs which may or may not be recovered through increased rents depending on general or local economic conditions. In the long-term, inflation can be expected to increase operating costs and replacement costs and may lead to increased rental revenues and real estate values.
