BUSINESS (a) General Description of Business and Objectives PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS (a) GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND OBJECTIVES ConAm Realty Investors 2 L.P., formerly known as Hutton/ConAm Realty Investors 2, (the "Partnership") is a California limited partnership formed on October 8, 1992. ConAm Property Services II, Ltd. ("CPS II"), a California limited partnership, and RI 2 Real Estate Services, Inc. ("RI 2"), a Delaware corporation, were the original co-general partners of the Partnership. On January 27, 1998, CPS II acquired RI 2's co-general partner interest in the Partnership, effective July 1, 1997, pursuant to a Purchase Agreement between CPS II and RI 2 dated August 29, 1997. As a result, CPS II now serves as the sole general partner (the "General Partner") of the Partnership. In conjunction with this transaction, the name of the Partnership was changed from Hutton/ConAm Realty Investors 2 to ConAm Realty Investors 2 L.P. The Partnership was organized to engage in the business of acquiring, operating and holding for investment multifamily residential properties. The Partnership originally invested in four joint ventures and one limited partnership, each of which was formed to own a specific residentual apartment property. As described below one property has been sold. Funds held as a working capital reserve are invested in bank certificates of deposit, unaffiliated money market funds or other highly liquid short-term investments where there is appropriate safety of principal in accordance with the Partnership's investment objectives and policies. The Partnership's principal investment objectives with respect to its interests in real property are: (1) capital appreciation; (2) distribution of net cash from operations attributable to rental income; and (3) preservation and protection of capital. Distribution of net cash from operations is the Partnership's objective during its operational phase, while preservation and appreciation of capital are the Partnership's long-term objectives. The attainment of the Partnership's investment objectives will depend on many factors, including future economic conditions in the United States as a whole and, in particular, in the localities in which the Partnership's properties are located, especially with regard to achievement of capital appreciation. From time to time the Partnership expects to sell its real property interests taking into consideration such factors as the amount of appreciation in value, if any, to be realized and the possible risks of continued ownership. Proceeds from any future sale, financing or refinancing of properties will not be reinvested and may be distributed to the Limited Partners and General Partner (sometimes referred to together herein as the "Partners"), so that the Partnership will, in effect, be self-liquidating. If deemed necessary, the Partnership may retain a portion of the proceeds from any sale, financing or refinancing as capital reserves. As partial payment for properties sold, the Partnership may receive purchase money obligations secured by mortgages or deeds of trust. In such cases, the amount of such obligations will not be included in Net Proceeds From Sale or Refinancing (distributable to the Partners) until and only to the extent the obligations are realized in cash, sold or otherwise liquidated. Originally, the Partnership utilized the net proceeds of its public offering to acquire five residential apartment complexes (collectively, the "Properties") through investments in four joint ventures and one limited partnership, as follows: (1) Creekside Oaks, a 120-unit apartment complex located in Jacksonville, Florida; (2) Ponte Vedra Beach Village I, a 122-unit apartment complex located in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida; (3) Rancho Antigua, a 220-unit apartment complex located in McCormick Ranch area of Scottsdale, Arizona; (4) Village at the Footholls I, a 60-unit apartment complex located in Tucson, Arizona; and (5) Country Place Village I, an 88-unit apartment complex located in Clearwater, Florida. On July 20, 1995, Country Place Village I, was sold to an unaffiliated institutional buyer for $3,665,000. The Partnership considers itself to be engaged in only one industry segment, real estate investment. COMPETITION The Partnership's real property investments are subject to competition from similar types of properties in the vicinities in which they are located and such competition has increased since the Partnership's investment in the Properties due principally to the addition of newly constructed apartment complexes offering increased residential and recreational amenities. The Properties have also been subject to competition from condominiums and single-family properties especially during periods of low mortgage interest rates. The Partnership competes with other real estate owners and developers in the rental and leasing of its Properties by offering competitive rental rates and, if necessary, leasing incentives. Such competition may affect the occupancy levels and revenues of the Properties. The occupancy levels at all four Properties reflect some seasonality, which is typical in these markets in which they are located. In some cases, the Partnership may compete with properties owned by other partnerships affiliated with the General Partner. For a discussion of current market conditions in the areas where the Partnership's Properties are located, reference is made to the Partnership's Annual Report to Unitholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, which is filed as an exhibit under Item 14. EMPLOYEES The Partnership has no employees. Services are provided by CPS II, ConAm Management Corporation ("ConAm Management"), an affiliate of CPS II, as well as Service Data Corporation and First Data Investor Services Group, both unaffiliated companies. The Partnership has entered into management agreements pursuant to which ConAm Management provides management services with respect to the Properties. First Data Investor Services Group had been retained by the Partnership to provide all accounting and investor communication functions, while Service Data Corporation provides transfer agent services. Effective January 1, 1998, the accounting functions of the Partnership have been transferred to the firm of Brock, Tibbitts, & Snell, an unaffiliated company located in San Diego, California. See Item 13, "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions", for a further description of the service and management agreements between the Partnership and affiliated entities.
