[ X ] PART I Item 1. Business - ---------------- Balcor Realty Investors 86-Series I A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the "Registrant") is a limited partnership formed in 1984 under the laws of the State of Illinois. The Registrant raised $59,791,000 from sales of Limited Partnership Interests. The Registrant's operations consisted exclusively of investment in and operation of income-producing real property, and all financial information included in this report relates to this industry segment. The Registrant utilized the net offering proceeds to acquire eight real property investments and a minority joint venture interest in one additional real property. As of December 31, 1996, the Registrant had disposed of seven properties and the property in which it held a minority joint venture interest. The Registrant's one remaining property described under "Item 2. Properties" was sold in January 1997. The Partnership Agreement generally provides that the proceeds of any sale or refinancing of the Registrant's properties will not be reinvested in new acquisitions. See "Item 7. Liquidity and Capital Resources" for additional information. Real estate values, especially for good quality, well located property, increased significantly during 1996 due to a combination of readily available capital, low interest rates, and decreased vacancy rates resulting from steady demand and an acceptable level of new construction. While 1996 proved to be an excellent year to sell real estate, projected yields by buyers on new acquisitions have declined significantly due to competition and rising prices. Although there will be variances by asset class and geographic area, the investment climate is expected to remain strong for 1997. However, values could begin to level off as they approach replacement cost triggering new construction and an increase in capitalization rates. The investment market for apartments was excellent during 1996 due to a number of factors. Investor interest was strong, driven primarily by institutions, as Real Estate Investment Trusts aggressively expanded their portfolios and pension funds viewed apartments as an attractive asset class due to their perceived low volatility and the emergence of large professional property management companies. Operationally, existing apartment properties registered on a national basis occupancy in the mid 90's and rental rate increases of 3-4% in 1996. While above the rate of inflation, the rate of rental growth in 1996 was below that of the previous two years suggesting that the apartment cycle may have plateaued, especially as the impact of new construction in many areas is being felt. While 1997 is projected to be another solid year, values should begin to level off as capitalization rates move upward continuing a trend which began during the second half of 1996. The Registrant's remaining property at December 31, 1996, Lake Ridge Apartments, was subject to certain competitive conditions in the market in which it was located. See "Item 7. Liquidity and Capital Resources" for additional information. During 1996, the Registrant sold the Pines of Cloverlane, Lakeside, Brighton Townhomes, Lakeville and Cedar Crest apartment complexes. During January 1997, the Registrant sold its remaining property, the Lake Ridge Apartments. A majority of the proceeds from the sales was distributed to Limited Partners during 1996 and the first quarter of 1997. The Registrant has retained a portion of the cash to satisfy obligations of the Registrant as well as establish a reserve for contingencies. The timing of the termination of the Registrant and final distribution of cash will depend upon the nature and extent of liabilities and contingencies which exist or may arise. Such contingencies may include legal and other fees stemming from litigation involving the Registrant including, but not limited to, the lawsuits discussed in "Item 3. Legal Proceedings." In the absence of any contingency, the reserves will be paid within twelve months of the last property sale. In the event a contingency continues to exist or arises, reserves may be held by the Registrant for a longer period of time. During March 1996, the Registrant sold the Pines of Cloverlane and Lakeside apartment complexes for $18,974,000 and $14,100,000, respectively. During August, October and November 1996, the Registrant sold the Brighton Townhomes, Lakeville and Cedar Crest apartment complexes, respectively, for $11,150,000, $27,200,000 and $21,550,000, respectively. See "Item 7. Liquidity and Capital Resources" for additional information. During January 1997, the Registrant sold the Lake Ridge Apartments in an all cash sale for $5,400,000. See "Item 1. Other Information" and "Item 7. Liquidity and Capital Resources" for additional information. The Registrant, by virtue of its ownership of real estate, is subject to federal and state laws and regulations covering various environmental issues. Management of the Registrant utilizes the services of environmental consultants to assess a wide range of environmental issues and to conduct tests for environmental contamination as appropriate. The General Partner is not aware of any potential liability due to environmental issues or conditions that would be material to the Registrant. The officers and employees of Balcor Partners-XIX, the General Partner of the Registrant, and its affiliates perform services for the Registrant. The Registrant currently has no employees engaged in its operations. Other Information - ----------------- Lake Ridge Apartments - --------------------- As previously reported, on October 1, 1996, the Registrant contracted to sell Lake Ridge Apartments, Fresno, California, to an unaffiliated party, Fowlershore & Flanagan, a California general partnership, for a sale price of $5,400,000. The purchaser and the Registrant agreed to extend the closing date from December 1, 1996 and the sale closed on January 9, 1997. The purchaser assigned its rights under the agreement of sale to an affiliate, FSF Lake Ridge Associates, LLC, a California limited liability company. From the proceeds of the sale, the Registrant repaid the outstanding balances of the first and second mortgage loans of $4,123,938 and $86,200, respectively, and paid a prepayment penalty of $126,222, $108,000 to an unaffiliated party as a brokerage commission, $67,500 to an affiliate of the third party providing property management services for the property as a fee for services rendered in connection with the sale of the property and $21,156 in closing costs. The Registrant received the remaining proceeds of approximately $867,000. Item 2. Properties - ------------------ As of December 31, 1996, the Registrant owned in fee simple the Lake Ridge Apartments located in Fresno, California. This property, a 200-unit apartment complex located on approximately 11 acres, was sold during January 1997. See Note 14 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information. The average occupancy rate and effective average rent per unit for each of the last five years for the remaining property owned by the Registrant at December 31, 1996, is described below. 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Lake Ridge Apartments* Occupancy Rate 91% 90% 93% 97% 96% Effective Rate $494 $484 $484 $484 $474 *This property was sold during 1997. See Note 14 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information. Apartment units in the above property are rented with leases of one year or less, with no tenant occupying greater than ten percent of the property. The above property was held subject to two mortgages as described in more detail in Note 5 of Notes to the Financial Statements. Real estate taxes incurred in 1996 for the above property totaled $76,212. The Federal tax basis of the Registrant's property totaled $7,714,522 as of December 31, 1996. For Federal income tax purposes, the acquisition costs of the property are depreciated over a useful life of 19 years, using the ACRS method. Other minor assets are depreciated over their applicable recovery periods. In the opinion of the General Partner, the Registrant has provided for adequate insurance coverage for its real estate investment property. See Notes to Financial Statements for other information regarding real property investments. Item 3.

The Registrant, additional limited partnerships which were sponsored by The Balcor Company, three limited partnerships sponsored by the predecessor of Lehman Brothers, Inc. (together with the Registrant and the affiliated partnerships, the "Defendant Partnerships"), Lehman Brothers, Inc. and Smith Barney Holdings, Inc. are defendants.

The defendants intend to vigorously contest this action. No class has been certified as of this date. The Registrant believes it has meritorious defenses to contest the claims. It is not determinable at this time whether or not an unfavorable decision in this action would have a material adverse impact on the Registrant. Proposed class action - --------------------- On August 30, 1996, a proposed class action complaint was filed, Lenore Klein vs. Lehman Brothers, Inc., et al., Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Union County, Docket No. Unn-L-5162-96).

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Results of Operations - --------------------- Operations - ---------- Summary of Operations - --------------------- Balcor Realty Investors 86 - Series I (the "Partnership") sold five properties during 1996 and recognized significant gains on these sales. These events resulted in the recognition of net income during 1996 as compared to a net loss during 1995. No material events occurred during 1995 or 1994 which significantly impacted the net loss of the Partnership. Further discussion of the Partnership's operations is summarized below. 1996 Compared to 1995 - --------------------- Rental and service income decreased in 1996 as compared to 1995 primarily due to the 1996 sales of the Pines of Cloverlane, Lakeside, Brighton Townhomes, Lakeville Resort and Cedar Crest apartment complexes. Higher average cash balances due to the investment of the proceeds from the property sales prior to distribution to Limited Partners in April and October 1996, resulted in an increase in interest income on short-term investments during 1996 as compared to 1995. Interest expense on mortgage notes payable decreased in 1996 as compared to 1995, primarily due to the repayment of mortgage loans with proceeds from the 1996 property sales. The Partnership paid lenders' participations of $1,844,713 in connection with the sales of the Lakeside and Brighton Townhomes apartment complexes during 1996. Depreciation expense decreased in 1996 as compared to 1995 due to the 1996 property sales. Amortization of deferred expenses decreased in 1996 as compared to 1995 due to the 1996 property sales. Property operating expenses decreased during 1996 as compared to 1995 due to the 1996 property sales. Real estate tax expense decreased in 1996 as compared to 1995 due to the 1996 property sales. Property management fees decreased in 1996 as compared to 1995 due to the 1996 property sales. The Partnership incurred higher legal and consulting costs in connection with a response to a tender offer during the fourth quarter of 1995. During 1995 the Partnership also reimbursed the General Partner for legal fees previously advanced by the General Partner with respect to a lawsuit which was dismissed. As a result, administrative expenses decreased during 1996 as compared to 1995. The Partnership sold the Pines of Cloverlane, Lakeside, Brighton Townhomes, Lakeville Resort and Cedar Crest apartment complexes during 1996 and recognized gains totaling $37,198,777. The Lakeville Resort and Cedar Crest apartment complexes were owned through joint ventures with affiliates. As a result of the affiliates' share of the gain recognized from the property sales during 1996, affiliates' participation in income from joint ventures increased during 1996 as compared to 1995. As a result of the 1996 property sales, the Partnership wrote off the remaining unamortized deferred expenses in the amount of $531,135. This amount has been classified as debt extinguishment expense, with $195,204 representing the affiliates' share. As a result of the 1995 Lakeville Resort Apartments refinancing, the Partnership recognized an extraordinary debt extinguishment expense of $145,393 relating to the write off of the remaining unamortized deferred expenses on the former mortgage note, of which $58,521 represented the affiliate's share. 1995 Compared to 1994 - --------------------- Higher rental and occupancy rates at the Cedar Crest, Lakeville Resort and Brighton Townhomes apartment complexes resulted in an increase in rental and service income during 1995 as compared to 1994. Higher interest rates resulted in an increase in interest income on short-term investments during 1995 as compared to 1994. The Lakeville Resort Apartments was owned by a joint venture consisting of the Partnership and an affiliate. In June 1995, the mortgage note was refinanced with a new lender. The former mortgage note carried an interest rate based on a market index and increases in this index had caused an increase in interest expense during 1995 as compared to 1994. In connection with this transaction, the Partnership also recognized an extraordinary debt extinguishment expense of $145,393 relating to the write off of the remaining unamortized deferred loan fees on the former mortgage note, of which $58,521 represented the affiliate's share. The amortization of deferred loan fees on the new Lakeville mortgage note was less than the amortization related to the former mortgage note, resulting in a decrease in amortization expense for 1995 as compared to 1994. Higher expenditures in 1994 at the Lakeville Resort apartment complex relating to exterior painting and carpeting expenses, resulted in a decrease in property operating expense during 1995 as compared to 1994. The Partnership incurred legal, consulting, printing and postage costs in connection with a tender offer during the fourth quarter of 1995. The Partnership also reimbursed the General Partner for legal fees previously advanced by the General Partner with respect to a lawsuit which was dismissed. These events resulted in an increase in administrative expenses during 1995 as compared to 1994. Improved operations of approximately $561,000 at the Lakeville Resort Apartments, which were partially offset by higher interest expense on the mortgage note of approximately $195,000, resulted in affiliates' participation in income from joint ventures during 1995 as compared to affiliates participation in losses during 1994. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- The Partnership's cash position increased by approximately $11,765,000 as of December 31, 1996 when compared to December 31, 1995 primarily as a result of the proceeds received in connection with the sales of the Lakeville Resort and Cedar Crest apartment complexes in 1996. In January 1997, the Partnership made a special distribution of $9,566,560 from sales proceeds to Limited Partners. The Partnership's cash flow used in operating activities of approximately $591,000 was generated from the operations of its properties and interest income on short-term investments, which were offset by the payment of administrative expenses and lender participations. Cash provided by investing activities of approximately $70,268,000 consisted primarily of proceeds received from the five property sales, net of closing costs, of approximately $70,602,000. Cash used in financing activities of approximately $57,912,000 consisted primarily of the repayment of mortgage notes payable of approximately $48,345,000, distributions to Limited Partners of approximately $7,115,000, and distributions to the joint venture partner - affiliate of approximately $2,671,000. 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 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, the Partnership's remaining property, the Lake Ridge Apartments, generated positive cash flow and had an occupancy rate of 92% as of December 31, 1996. The Lakeside Apartments was sold in March 1996 and generated a marginal cash flow deficit prior to its sale in 1996 as compared to positive cash flow in 1995. The Pines of Cloverlane Apartments was sold in March 1996 and generated a significant cash flow deficit prior to its sale in 1996 as compared to positive cash flow in 1995. The Brighton Townhomes Apartments was sold in August 1996, the Lakeville Apartments was sold in October 1996 and the Cedar Crest Apartments was sold in November 1996. Each of these properties generated positive cash flow prior to its sale in 1996 and during 1995. Lake Ridge Apartments is located in northeast Fresno, California and, because of its proximity to major thoroughfares and the airport, it is considered to be one of the better properties in the market. The Fresno/Clovis multi-family market, which consists of approximately 35,000 units, has been either flat or declining through much of the 1990's and averaged 90 percent occupancy in 1996. Average occupancy at the property in 1996 was 91 percent, while the sub-market occupancy for similar product type averaged 92 percent. Fresno is an agricultural based city with a migratory population. Although much of California appears to be pulling out of the recession it has been in for much of the last several years, Fresno continues to maintain a stagnant economy with few prospects for significant growth in the near term. During 1996, the Partnership sold the Pines of Cloverlane, Lakeside, Brighton Townhomes, Lakeville Resort and Cedar Crest apartment complexes. During January 1997, the Partnership sold the Lake Ridge Apartments. A majority of the proceeds from the sales was distributed to Limited Partners during 1996 and January 1997. The Partnership has retained a portion of the cash to satisfy obligations of the Partnership as well as establish a reserve for contingencies. The timing of the termination of the Partnership and final distribution of cash will depend upon the nature and extent of liabilities and contingencies which exist or may arise. Such contingencies may include legal and other fees stemming from litigation involving the Partnership including, but not limited to, the lawsuits discussed in "Item 3. Legal Proceedings." In the absence of any contingency, the reserves will be paid within twelve months of the last property sale. In the event a contingency continues to exist or arises, reserves may be held by the Partnership for a longer period of time. In March 1996, the Partnership sold the Pines of Cloverlane Apartments in an all cash sale for $18,974,000. From the proceeds of the sale, the Partnership paid $14,208,240 to the third party mortgage holder in full satisfaction of the first mortgage loan, paid $288,460 in selling costs and also funded an escrow of $335,000 required in connection with the sale. The remaining proceeds were distributed as a special distribution to the Limited Partners in April 1996. See Note 10 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information. In March 1996, the Partnership sold the Lakeside Apartments in an all cash sale for $14,100,000. From the proceeds of the sale, the Partnership paid $12,426,799 to the third party mortgage holder in full satisfaction of the first mortgage loan and paid $299,150 in selling costs and $467,557 in lender participation. Lender participation represents additional interest paid to the lender calculated as a percentage of the sales price in excess of amounts specified in the loan agreement. The remaining proceeds were distributed as a special distribution to the Limited Partners in April 1996. See Note 10 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information. In August 1996, the Partnership sold the Brighton Townhomes Apartments in an all cash sale for $11,150,000. From the proceeds of the sale, the Partnership paid $6,858,644 to the third party mortgage holder in full satisfaction of the first mortgage loan and paid $221,925 in selling costs and $1,377,156 in lender participation. Lender participation represents additional interest paid to the lender calculated as a percentage of the sales price in excess of amounts specified in the loan agreement. The remaining proceeds were distributed as a special distribution to the Limited Partners in October 1996. See Note 10 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information. The Lakeville Resort Apartments was owned by a joint venture consisting of the Partnership and an affiliate. In October 1996, the joint venture sold the property in an all cash sale for $27,200,000. The purchaser took title subject to the existing first mortgage loan in the amount of $20,795,872. From the proceeds of the sale, the joint venture paid $355,000 in selling costs. The net proceeds of the sale were $6,049,128 of which $3,614,354 was the Partnership's share. Pursuant to the terms of the sale, $500,000 of the proceeds were retained by the joint venture until February 1997. The full amount of the holdback was released in February 1997. The Partnership's share of the remaining proceeds received by the joint venture were distributed to the Limited Partners in January 1997. See Note 10 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information. The Cedar Crest Apartments was owned by a joint venture consisting of the Partnership and an affiliate. In November 1996, the joint venture sold the property in an all cash sale for $21,550,000. From the proceeds of the sale, the joint venture paid $14,851,661 to the third party mortgage holder in full satisfaction of the first mortgage loan and paid $411,239 in selling costs. The net proceeds of the sale were $6,287,100, of which $6,058,250 was the Partnership's share. Pursuant to the terms of the sale, $500,000 of the proceeds were retained by the joint venture until March 1997. The full amount of the holdback was released in March 1997. The Partnership's share of the remaining proceeds received by the joint venture were distributed to the Limited Partners in January 1997. See Note 10 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information. In January 1997, the Partnership sold the Lake Ridge Apartments in an all cash sale for $5,400,000. From the proceeds of the sale, the Partnership paid $4,123,938 and $86,200 to the third party mortgage holder in full satisfaction of the first mortgage and second mortgage loans, respectively, and paid $196,656 in selling costs and $126,222 in prepayment penalties. The remaining available proceeds are expected to be distributed to the Limited Partners in 1997. See Note 14 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information. The Partnership commenced distributions in October 1995 and made distributions totaling $119.00 and $2.50 per interest in 1996 and 1995, respectively. See Statement of Partners' Capital for additional information. Distributions were comprised of $5.00 of Net Cash Receipts and $114.00 of Net Cash Proceeds consisting of Net Cash Proceeds from the sales of the Lakeside, Pines of Cloverlane, and Brighton Townhomes apartment complexes in 1996 and $2.50 of Net Cash Receipts in 1995. In January 1997, the Partnership paid a distribution of $9,865,515 ($165.00 per Interest) to holders of Limited Partnership Interests. This distribution represents a distribution of Net Cash Receipts for the fourth quarter of 1996 of $5.00 per Interest, and a special distribution of Net Cash Proceeds of $160.00 per Interest, of Net Cash Proceeds received in connection with the sales of the Lakeville Resort and Cedar Crest apartment complexes. Including the January 1997 distribution, Limited Partners have received cumulative distributions of Net Cash Receipts of $12.50 per $1,000 Interest and Net Cash Proceeds of $274.00 per $1,000 Interest, totaling $286.50 per $1,000 Interest, as well as certain tax benefits. Future distributions will be made from available Net Cash Proceeds, as to which there can be no assurances. In light of results to date, investors will not recover a substantial portion 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 and/or sales prices, depending on general or local economic conditions. In the long-term, inflation will increase operating costs and replacement costs and may lead to increased rental revenues and real estate values.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Partners of Balcor Realty Investors 86-Series I A Real Estate Limited Partnership: We have audited the financial statements and the financial statement schedule of Balcor Realty Investors 86-Series I A Real Estate Limited Partnership (An Illinois Limited Partnership) as listed in the index of this Form 10-K. These financial statements and the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Balcor Realty Investors 86-Series I A Real Estate Limited Partnership at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information required to be included therein. As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the partnership agreement provides for the dissolution of the Partnership upon disposition of all its interests in real estate. In January 1997, the Partnership disposed of its remaining real estate assets. Upon resolution of the litigation described in Note 12 to the financial statements, the Partnership intends to cease operations and dissolve. /s/Coopers & Lybrand, LLP COOPERS & LYBRAND L.L.P.

BALCOR REALTY INVESTORS 86-SERIES I A REAL ESTATE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (An Illinois Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Nature of the Partnership's Business: Balcor Realty Investors 86-Series I A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was engaged principally in the operation of residential real estate investments located in various markets within the United States. The Partnership sold its remaining property in January 1997. 2. Partnership Termination: The Partnership Agreement provides for the dissolution of the Partnership upon the occurrence of certain events, including the disposition of all interests in real estate. During 1996, the Partnership sold the Pines of Cloverlane, Lakeside, Brighton Townhomes, Lakeville Resort and Cedar Crest apartment complexes. During January 1997, the Partnership sold the Lake Ridge Apartments. A majority of the proceeds from the sales were distributed to Limited Partners during 1996 and January 1997. The Partnership has retained a portion of the cash to satisfy obligations of the Partnership as well as establish a reserve for contingencies. The timing of the termination of the Partnership and final distribution of cash will depend upon the nature and extent of liabilities and contingencies which exist or may arise. Such contingencies may include legal and other fees stemming from litigation involving the Partnership including, but not limited to, the lawsuits discussed in Note 12 of Notes to Financial Statements. In the absence of any contingency, the reserves will be paid within twelve months of the last property sale. In the event a contingency continues to exist or arises, reserves may be held by the Partnership for a longer period of time. 3. Accounting Policies: (a) The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the General Partner 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could vary from those estimates. (b) Depreciation expense was computed using the straight-line and accelerated methods. Rates used in the determination of depreciation were based upon the following estimated useful lives: Years ----- Buildings and improvements 20 to 30 Furniture and fixtures 5 Maintenance and repairs were charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for improvements were charged to the related asset account. As properties are sold, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the repective accounts. Any gain or loss on dispostion is recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. (c) Effective January 1, 1995 the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, No. 121 (SFAS 121), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of". Under SFAS 121, the Partnership records its investments in real estate at the lower of cost or fair value, and periodically assesses, but not less than on an annual basis, possible impairment to the value of its properties. The General Partner estimates the fair value of its properties based on the current sale price less estimated closing costs. In the event the General Partner determines an impairment in value has occurred, and the carrying amount of the real estate asset will not be recovered, a provision is recorded to reduce the carrying basis of the property to its estimated fair value. The General Partner considers the method referred to above to result in a reasonable measurement of a property's fair value, unless other factors affecting the property's value indicate otherwise. (d) Deferred expenses consist of financing fees which are amortized over the terms of the respective loan agreements. Upon sale, any remaining balance is recognized as debt extinguishment expense and classified as an extraordinary item. (e) The Financial Accounting Standard Board's Statement No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. Since quoted market prices are not available for the Partnership's financial instruments, fair values have been based on estimates using present value techniques. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. Statement No. 107 does not apply to all balance sheet items and excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments such as real estate and investment in joint ventures from its disclosure requirements. (f) Cash and cash equivalents include all unrestricted, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash is invested or held primarily in one financial institution. (g) The Partnership is not liable for Federal income taxes and each partner recognizes his proportionate share of the Partnership income or loss in his tax return; therefore, no provision for income taxes is made in the financial statements of the Partnership. (h) Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 4. Partnership Agreement: The Partnership was organized on October 1, 1984. The Partnership Agreement provides for Balcor Partners-XIX to be the General Partner and for the admission of Limited Partners through the sale of up to 250,000 Limited Partnership Interests at $1,000 per Interest, 59,791 of which were sold on or prior to July 31, 1986, the termination date of the offering. The Partnership Agreement provides that the General Partner will be allocated 1% of all profits and losses. One hundred percent of Net Cash Receipts available for distribution will be distributed to the holders of Interests in proportion to their Participating Percentages as of the record date for such distributions. There will, however, be accrued for the benefit of the General Partner as its distributive share from operations, an amount equivalent to approximately 1% of the total Net Cash Receipts being distributed. The accrued amount will be paid as a part of the General Partner's share of distributed Net Cash Proceeds. Under certain circumstances, the General Partner may participate in the Net Cash Proceeds of the sale or refinancing of Partnership properties. The General Partner's participation is limited to 15% of remaining Net Cash Proceeds after the return of Original Capital plus any deficiency in the Cumulative Distribution of 6% on Adjusted Original Capital to the holders of Interests. Based on the amount of Net Cash Proceeds received by the Partnership from the sales of its properties and the amount of Net Cash Receipts received by the Partnership, the General Partner will not receive any distributions of Net Cash Receipts or Net Cash Proceeds. 5. Mortgage Notes Payable: Mortgage notes payable at December 31, 1996 and 1995 consisted of the following: Carrying Carrying Current Final Property Amount of Amount of In- Matur- Current Estimated Pledged as Notes at Notes at terest ity Monthly Balloon Collateral 12/31/96 12/31/95 Rate % Date Payment Payment - -------------- ---------- ---------- -------- ------ ------- ---------- Apartment Complexes: Brighton Townhomes(A) None $ 7,069,078 Cedar Crest(A) None 15,294,576 Lakeside (A) None 12,445,156 Lakeville Resort(A)(B) None 20,879,579 Lake Ridge(C) $ 4,210,138 4,241,100 10.05% 2000 $37,983 $3,999,000 Pines of Cloverlane (A) None 14,267,090 ----------- ----------- Total $ 4,210,138 $74,196,579 =========== =========== (A) This property was sold in 1996. See Note 10 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information. (B) In June 1995, the mortgage note was refinanced with a new lender. The interest rate decreased from a variable rate of approximately 10.4% to a fixed rate of 8.2%. The maturity date was extended from April 1997 to July 2030 and the monthly payment of principal and interest decreased from a variable payment (of approximately $209,000) to a fixed payment of $151,727. A portion of the proceeds from the new $20,932,600 first mortgage loan was used to repay the existing mortgage note of $18,728,280 as well as to pay deferred loan fees of $499,868 and fund an improvement escrow of $1,604,551. The Lakeville Resort Apartments was owned by a joint venture consisting of the Partnership and an affiliate. In connection with this refinancing, the Partnership recognized an extraordinary debt extinguishment expense of $145,393 relating to the write off of the remaining unamortized deferred loan fees on the former mortgage note, of which $58,521 represents the affiliate's share. (C) In January 1997, this property was sold. See Note 14 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information. The Lake Ridge Apartments first and second mortgage loans described above required current monthly payments of principal and interest. Real estate with an aggregate carrying value of $4,378,986 at December 31, 1996 was pledged as collateral for repayment of the remaining mortgage loan. During 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Partnership incurred and paid interest expense on mortgage notes payable of $3,726,596, $6,558,223 and $6,287,058, respectively. 6. Management Agreements: As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership's remaining property was under a management agreement with a third-party management company. The management agreement provides for annual fees of 5% of gross operating receipts. 7. Affiliates' Participations in Joint Ventures: The Cedar Crest and Lakeville Resort apartment complexes were each owned by the Partnership and an affiliate. Both properties were sold in 1996. Profits and losses were allocated 96.36% to the Partnership and 3.64% to the affiliate for Cedar Crest Apartments, and 59.75% to the Partnership and 40.25% to the affiliate for Lakeville Resort Apartments. All assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the joint ventures are included in the financial statements of the Partnership with the appropriate adjustment to profit or loss for each affiliate's participation. Net contributions (distributions) of $(2,670,607), $46,281 and $(84,517) were made to joint venture partners during 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. In addition, joint venture partners were allocated their pro rata share of the gain on the sales of the Lakeville and Cedar Crest apartment complexes of $4,877,854 and $334,258, respectively, in 1996. 8. Tax Accounting: The Partnership keeps its books in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code, rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and existing interpretations thereof. The accompanying financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, will differ from the tax returns due to the different treatment of various items as specified in the Internal Revenue Code. The net effect of these accounting differences is that the net income for 1996 in the financial statements is $16,062,403 less than the tax income of the Partnership for the same period. 9. Transactions with Affiliates: Fees and expenses paid and payable by the Partnership to affiliates are: Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended 12/31/96 12/31/95 12/31/94 -------------- -------------- -------------- Paid Payable Paid Payable Paid Payable ------ ------- ------ ------- ------ ------- Property management fees None None None None $734,296 None Reimbursement of expenses to General Partner, at cost: Accounting $13,192 $18,021 $42,252 $2,280 60,490 $29,580 Data processing 5,403 3,195 28,190 2,113 44,397 10,161 Investor communica- tions None None 5,112 None 12,506 6,116 Legal 12,364 16,499 27,962 2,944 12,847 6,283 Portfolio management 52,663 71,103 105,436 12,199 28,114 13,749 Property sales admin- istration 28,393 8,543 11,838 9,169 None None Other 118 None 10,960 118 17,542 8,578 Allegiance Realty Group, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partner, managed all of the Partnership's properties until the affiliate was sold to a third party in November 1994. The Partnership participates in an insurance deductible program with other affiliated partnerships in which the program pays claims up to the amount of the deductible under the master insurance policies for its properties. The program is administered by an affiliate of the General Partner who receives no fee for administering the program; however, the General Partner is reimbursed for program expenses. The Partnership paid premiums to the deductible insurance program of $12,750, $97,161 and $149,324 for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. 10.
