Yes [X]. No [ ]. DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE Annual Report to Limited Partners for the Year Ended December 31, 1999 is incorporated by reference into Parts II and III 1 PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS (a.) GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS. Sierra Pacific Development Fund (the "Partnership") is a California limited partnership that was formed in February 1981 for the purpose of acquiring, developing, and operating commercial real estate. The Partnership's first real estate investment was for the acquisition of land and development of a 41,000 square foot office project in San Bernardino, California known as Sierra Commercenter. On December 31, 1993, the Partnership sold Sierra Commercenter for $3,722,362 and recorded a gain on the sale of $766,068. In 1983, the Partnership acquired land in San Ramon, California as the first step in development of the Sierra Creekside office project (the "Property"), a 47,800 square foot building that was completed in October 1984. In February 1994, the Partnership created a California general partnership (Sierra Creekside Partners) with Sierra Mira Mesa Partners ("SMMP") to facilitate cash contributions by SMMP for the continued development and operation of the Sierra Creekside property. The Partnership contributed the Property (at an agreed value of $2,825,000) and SMMP contributed cash ($198,159, net, through December 31, 1998) in exchange for a 6.55% interest in Sierra Creekside Partners. SMMP made additional contributions of $40,000, and received distributions of $87,000 from Sierra Creekside Partners during 1999. The percentage interests of the Partnership and Sierra Mira Mesa Partners are to be adjusted every January 1st during the term of Sierra Creekside Partners, beginning January 1, 1995. Accordingly, as of January 1, 2000, the Partnership's interest in Sierra Creekside Partners will be increased to 94.92%, and SMMP's interest will be decreased to 5.08%. (b.) NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. The Partnership owns and operates Sierra Creekside, an office building in San Ramon, California. Success of the office building is dependent upon the timely payment of rent by three tenants who accounted for approximately 44% of the rental income of the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 1999. There is significant competition in the office building rental market in the Partnership's trade area. A 1994 appraisal identified six buildings in the immediate area that offered space and amenities comparable to Sierra Creekside. (c.) COMPARISON OF CURRENT ACTIVITIES TO THOSE PROPOSED AT THE INITIATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP. In the Partnership's prospectus dated June 25, 1982, the investment objectives were described as follows: "The Partnership was formed to invest in properties which will: (i.) have the potential for long-term capital gains through appreciation in value; (ii.) to the extent consistent with (i.) above, preserve, protect and return the Partnership's invested capital; (iii.) provide distributable Cash Flow from operations; (iv.) provide Federal Income Tax deductions so that all or a portion of any distributable cash from operations may be treated as a return of capital for tax purposes and, therefore, may not represent taxable income to the Limited Partners; and (v.) build up equity through the reduction of mortgage loans on those of the Partnership's properties which have been leveraged. There can be no assurance that such objectives will be achieved." 2 The prospectus also states: "The Partnership expects to commence liquidation of all its properties after approximately the fifth year of Partnership operations. However, the Managing General Partners may exercise their discretion as to whether and when to sell, finance or refinance a property, and the Partnership will have no obligations to sell properties at any particular time." Operations of the Partnership through 1999 have been consistent with the intent of the original prospectus in that the Partnership has invested in real estate projects that had the potential for capital gains, preservation of capital and providing distributable cash flow partially sheltered from Federal Income Tax. However, the Partnership and its real estate have been adversely affected by the Tax Reform Act of 1986, aggressive lending by banks that resulted in commercial real estate overbuilding, and subsequent severe recessions. The original intention to begin liquidation of properties after the fifth year of operations was delayed indefinitely. As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership had paid cash distributions of $166.75 for each $500 unit investment and remaining partners' equity is $47.04 per unit. Thus, if the Partnership were to be liquidated at the end of 1999 at book value, each $500 investment would have returned a total of $213.79. The General Partner's goal is to continue operating the Property until such time as rental rates return to the level necessary to support new office building development. At that time, the Property may be sold at a price substantially greater than current book value. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES During 1999, the Partnership owned (fee simple) a 93.45% interest in Sierra Creekside, a commercial office building located in San Ramon, California. (See Item 1. Business for discussion of changes in ownership percentages). The building consists of 47,800 rentable square feet and is 100% occupied at December 31, 1999. The average effective annual rent per square foot at December 31, 1999 is $19.52. The Property was encumbered by a mortgage lien in favor of Home Federal Savings of San Francisco with a principal balance of $1,673,186 at December 31, 1999. The mortgage bore interest at 3.5% above the 11th District Cost of Funds Index with a minimum of 9% and a maximum of 14% (9% at December 31, 1999). The loan term was 120 months with a maturity date of July 1, 2005. Payments were amortized over a 240 month period with a remaining principal balance of $1,316,055 due at maturity assuming no payment had been made on principal in advance of its due date. On January 25, 2000, the Home Federal Savings note was repaid. On the same date, the Partnership entered into a new loan agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation ("GECC") in the amount of $4,250,000. The lender funded $4,050,000 at closing and held back $200,000 to be drawn upon to help finance future tenant improvements and leasing costs. This loan, which is secured by the Sierra Creekside property, bears interest at 2.75% above the GECC Composite Commercial Paper Rate. Principal and interest payments are due monthly based on a 30-year amortization. The loan matures January 31, 2005. 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT TENANTS/LEASES Four of the Property's 17 tenants occupy ten percent or more of rentable space. The principal businesses of these significant tenants are banking, construction services, insurance and billing/collections services. Details of the leases follow:

SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS None 4 PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S PARTNERS' EQUITY AND RELATED MATTERS As of December 31, 1999, the number of security holders is as follows: NUMBER NUMBER OF OF UNITS RECORD HOLDERS ---------- -------------- Limited Partners 29,354 1,829 ========== ============== These securities are all of the same class, namely, limited partnership interests (units) and were sold pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The total offering was 30,000 units at $500.00 per unit. No broker or dealer currently makes a market in the units of the Partnership. Accordingly, there are no published price or trading volume figures available for the units. The units have been transferred on an extremely limited extent from time-to-time since the inception of the Partnership; however, the market for the units is highly restricted and sporadic, especially in view of the investor suitability requirements imposed on new purchasers by the various state blue sky laws and the restrictions on transfer contained in the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership has neither paid nor declared any cash or other distributions to the General or Limited Partners during the two most recent years. There are no contractual or other restrictions on the Partnership's ability to make such distributions. ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA The Selected Financial Data for the Partnership is filed by reference to the Annual Report to the Limited Partners attached as an Exhibit. ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes certain forward looking statements reflecting the Partnership's expectations in the near future; however, many factors which may affect the actual results, especially changing regulations, are difficult to predict. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Partnership's expectations will be realized. Overview: The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Selected Financial Data and the Partnership's Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto incorporated by reference to the Annual Report to the Limited Partners attached as an Exhibit. As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership owns a 93.45% interest in the Sierra Creekside Partners, which operates one property, Sierra Creekside (the "Property"). 5 Results of Operations: COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998. Rental income for the year ended December 31, 1999 remained virtually unchanged in comparision to the prior year, despite an increase in rental rates and occupancy. In 1998, rental income included a lease buy-out negotiated with a former tenant. The weighted-average effective annual rent per square foot, on an accrual basis, increased from $18.57 at December 31, 1998 to $19.52 at December 31, 1999. Occupancy rose from 96% at December 31, 1998 to 100% at December 31, 1999. Operating expenses remained relatively unchanged, increasing by $4,000, when compared to 1998. Bad debt expense of $27,000 was recorded as a result of a receivable write-off from an affiliate. Further, property taxes and insurance, and administrative costs rose during the period. This increase was primarily offset by a decrease in depeciation and amortization expenses. Depreciation expense decreased principally as a result of fully depreciated tenant improvements. COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997. Rental income increased by $162,000, or 21%, when compared to the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to a lease buy-out negotiated in May 1998. The majority of the vacated space was re-leased at a higher rental rate. The weighted-average effective annual rent per square foot, on an accrual basis, increased from $16.16 at December 31, 1997 to $18.57 at December 31, 1998. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in occupancy from 100% at December 31, 1997 to 96% at December 31, 1998. Operating expenses decreased by $46,000, or 5%, principally due to a decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses resulting from certain capitalized tenant improvements and lease costs becoming fully depreciated during 1998. Further, lower maintenance and repair costs were incurred in 1998 when compared to the prior year. The increase was partially offset due to higher management fees resulting from the increased rental income of the property and due to higher property tax expense recorded in 1998. Liquidity and Capital Resources: In January 2000, the Partnership paid its loan balance due to Home Federal Savings and entered into a new loan agreement for $4,250,000. The lender funded $4,050,000 at closing and held back $200,000 to be drawn upon to help finance future tenant improvements and leasing costs. The loan is secured by a trust deed on the Sierra Creekside property. The Partnership received net proceeds of $2,222,000 as a result of the new loan. The proceeds will primarily be used for construction of new tenant space and as a source for contributions to the minority owner of the Property, Sierra Mira Mesa Partners ("SMMP"). During 1999, the Partnership generated cash flows from operations of $182,000 and paid $67,000 for property additions and lease commissions. SMMP contributed a total of $40,000 to the Partnership and received distributions of $87,000 from the Partnership in 1999. The Partnership is in a liquid position at December 31, 1999 with cash and billed rents of $143,000 and current liabilities of $15,000. The Partnership's primary capital requirements will be for construction of new tenant space. It is anticipated that these requirments will be funded from the operations of the Property, proceeds from the new loan and contributions from SMMP. Inflation: The Partnership's long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation on its results from operations. Such provisions may include escalation clauses related to Consumer Price Index increases. 6 YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE The Year 2000 Compliance issue is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Partnership's computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities. As a result, many companies' software and computer systems may need to be upgraded or replaced in order to comply with Year 2000 requirements. The Partnership did not experience any major system failures or disruptions in operations over the year 2000 transition. All systems have continued to operate as normal. The Partnership did not separately track internal costs related to the Year 2000 issue and Partnership management believes these amounts did not have a material impact on the Partnership's financial position or results of operations. The Partnership employs a property management company to manage, operate and lease the property. The management company did not experience any major systems failures or disruptions in operations at the property. The Partnership remains confident that no Year 2000 issues with the property management company or other third parties will arise in the future although no guarantees can be made to that effect.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sierra Pacific Development Fund as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

SEE ACCOMPANYING NOTES. 20 SIERRA PACIFIC DEVELOPMENT FUND (A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) -------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ORGANIZATION Sierra Pacific Development Fund (the "Partnership") was organized on February 13, 1981 in accordance with the provisions of the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act to acquire, develop and operate certain real properties. S-P Properties, Inc. is the General Partner and manager of the Partnership. On December 30, 1994, all of the outstanding stock of TCP, Inc. was sold to Finance Factors, Inc. TCP, Inc. owns all of the common stock of S-P Properties, Inc. Finance Factors, Inc. was a subsidiary of CGS Real Estate Company, Inc., a national real estate company. In July 1995, Finance Factors, Inc. merged with Bancor Real Estate Company, Inc., another subsidiary of CGS Real Estate Company, Inc. The Partnership's first real estate investment was for the acquisition of land and development of a 41,000 square foot office project in San Bernardino, California known as Sierra Commercenter. This property was subsequently sold by the Partnership. In 1983, the Partnership acquired land in San Ramon, California as the first step in development of the Sierra Creekside office project (the "Property"), a 47,800 square foot building that was completed in October 1984. In February 1994, the Partnership created a California general partnership (Sierra Creekside Partners) with Sierra Mira Mesa Partners ("SMMP") to facilitate cash contributions by SMMP for the continued development and operation of the Sierra Creekside property. The Partnership contributed the Property and SMMP contributed cash to this newly formed California general partnership. At December 31, 1999, the Partnership's remaining real estate asset is a 93.45% interest in Sierra Creekside Partners. BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Partnership maintains its books and prepares its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. However, the Partnership prepares its tax returns on the accrual basis of accounting as defined by the Internal Revenue Code with adjustments to reconcile book and taxable income (loss) for differences in the treatment of certain income and expense items. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any provision for federal or state income taxes since such taxes are the obligation of the individual partners. 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and Sierra Creekside Partners, a majority owned California general partnership (see Note 4). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid, short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. 21 Sierra Pacific Development Fund Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Page two FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The financial instruments of the Partnership at December 31, 1999 and 1998 consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, due from affiliates, accounts payable and note payable. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable approximates the carrying value due to the short term nature of these items. In the opinion of management, the fair value of the note payable approximates the carrying value as the interest rate is based on a floating index. The amounts due from affiliates are not fair valued due to the related party nature of this receivable. INCOME-PRODUCING PROPERTY Property and tenant improvements are carried at cost and depreciated on the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the related assets, ranging from one to thirty years. Tenant improvements incurred at the initial leasing of the properties are depreciated over ten years and tenant improvements incurred at the re-leasing of the properties are depreciated over the life of the related lease. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged against income as incurred. Improvements and major renewals are capitalized. Costs and the related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal or when fully depreciated and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income. The Partnership regularly evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Future cash flows are estimated and compared to the carrying amount of the asset to determine if an impairment has occurred. If the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Partnership shall recognize an impairment loss. Impairments totaling $1,000,000 were recognized prior to 1995 as appraisals indicated other than temporary declines in value. Because the determination of fair value is based upon projections of future economic events such as property occupancy rates, rental rates, operating cost inflation and market capitalization rates which are inherently subjective, the amounts ultimately realized at disposition may differ materially from the net carrying value as of December 31, 1999. The cash flows used to determine fair value and net realizable value are based on good faith estimates and assumptions developed by management. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur and some assumptions may not materialize; therefore, actual results may vary from the estimates and the variances may be material. The Partnership may provide additional write-downs which could be material in subsequent years if real estate markets or local economic conditions change. OTHER ASSETS Deferred leasing costs represent costs incurred to lease properties and are amortized over the life of the related lease using the straight line method of accounting. Deferred loan costs represent costs incurred to obtain financing and are amortized over the life of the related loan using the straight line method of accounting. 22 Sierra Pacific Development Fund Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Page three RENTAL INCOME AND RENT RECEIVABLE Rental income is recognized on the straight-line method over the term of the related operating lease in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, "Accounting for Leases". Rent receivable consists of (a) unbilled rent - the difference between rent recognized on the straight-line method and actual cash due; and (b) billed rent - - rent due but not yet received. CALCULATION OF EQUITY AND NET INCOME (LOSS) PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNIT Equity and net income (loss) per limited partnership unit are determined by dividing the Limited Partners' equity and net income (loss) by the number of limited partnership units outstanding, 29,354 for all periods presented. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." These SFAS's, which are effective for the Partnership's fiscal year ending December 31, 1998, establish additional disclosure requirements but do not affect the measurement of the results of operations. During the periods presented, the Partnership did not have any items of comprehensive income. The adoption of SFAS No. 131 had no effect on the Partnership's financial statements as the Partnership operates in only one segment, the acquisition, development and operation of commercial real estate. 2. DETAILS OF CERTAIN BALANCE SHEET ACCOUNTS Additional information regarding certain balance sheet accounts, at December 31, 1999 and 1998, is as follows: 1999 1998 -------- -------- Other assets: Prepaid expenses ................................ $ 14,906 $ 14,196 Deferred loan costs, net of accumulated amortization of $36,365 in 1999 and $28,122 in 1998 ........................... 86,020 54,263 Deferred leasing costs, net of accumulated amortization of $227,612 in 1998 and $175,256 in 1998 .......................... 137,271 184,129 -------- -------- $238,197 $252,588 ======== ======== Accrued and other liabilities: Accounts payable ................................ $ 2,684 $ 7,488 Accrued expenses ................................ 0 16,603 Security deposits ............................... 49,592 42,986 Interest payable ................................ 12,549 12,902 Other ........................................... 0 2,040 -------- -------- $ 64,825 $ 82,019 ======== ======== 23 Sierra Pacific Development Fund Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Page four 3. GENERAL PARTNER AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS An affiliate of the General Partner may receive a management fee of 6% of the gross rental income (as defined in the partnership agreement) collected from the properties. Management fees paid to affiliates for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $39,654, $41,516 and $33,559, respectively. An affiliate of the General Partner is entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred by the affiliate for services provided to the Partnership such as accounting, legal, data processing and similar services. The affiliate was reimbursed $50,428, $38,922 and $34,870 for such services for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Additionally, the Partnership reimbursed affiliates for construction supervision costs incurred by the affiliates. For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 the affiliates received $0, $6,209 and $12,358, respectively, for tenant improvements supervisory costs. In consideration for services rendered with respect to initial leasing of Partnership properties, affiliates of the General Partner are paid initial leasing costs. For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 these fees amounted to $2,875, $42,738 and $19,097, respectively, and were recorded as deferred leasing costs. During 1996, the Partnership made a non-interest bearing loan to an affiliate in the amount of $26,916. This loan was uncollectible and subsequently written off to bad debt expense in 1999. 4. INCOME-PRODUCING PROPERTY At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the total cost and accumulated depreciation of the property are as follows: 1999 1998 ----------- ----------- Land ................................. $ 1,555,033 $ 1,555,033 Building and improvements ............ 4,291,935 4,358,584 ----------- ----------- Total ....................... 5,846,968 5,913,617 Accumulated depreciation ............. (2,289,481) (2,140,905) Valuation allowance (Note 1) ......... (1,000,000) (1,000,000) ----------- ----------- Net ......................... $ 2,557,487 $ 2,772,712 =========== =========== During 1999 and 1998, the Partnership removed $103,329 and $101,860, respectively, from its buildings and improvements and related accumulated depreciation accounts for fully depreciated property. 24 Sierra Pacific Development Fund Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Page five On February 1, 1994, the Partnership formed a California general partnership with Sierra Mira Mesa Partners ("SMMP"), an affiliate. The joint venture, known as Sierra Creekside Partners ("SCP"), was formed to develop and operate the Sierra Creekside property. The Partnership had a 79.2% equity interest with its contribution of Sierra Creekside. Such interest was computed based upon the estimated fair value of SCP's net assets at the date of formation of the joint venture. SMMP was allocated a 20.8% initial equity interest in SCP in exchange for its $745,000 cash contribution ($147,359, net, through December 31, 1996). SMMP made additional cash contributions amounting to $168,500, $85,300 and $40,000 and received distributions amounting to $25,000, $178,000 and $87,000 during 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively. The percentage interests of the Partnership and Sierra Mira Mesa Partners are to be adjusted every January 1st during the term of Sierra Creekside Partners, beginning January 1, 1995. Accordingly, as of January 1, 1997, 1998 and 1999, the Partnership's interest in SCP was changed to 95.04%, 90.67% and 93.45%, respectively. On January 1, 2000, the Partnership's interest will be increased to 94.92% and SMMP's interest will be decreased to 5.08% to reflect the 1999 contributions and distributions. Under the terms of the SCP joint venture agreement, SMMP will receive preferential cash distributions of available "Distributable Funds" from the operation of SCP or sale of its property to the extent of its capital contributions. Additional Distributable Funds are allocable to the Partnership to the extent of the deemed fair value of its property contribution, and the remainder to the Partnership and SMMP in proportion to their respective equity interests. The excess of cash distributions to SMMP over cash contributions from SMMP and income or loss allocated to SMMP is reported as an asset in the Partnership's balance sheet. Future minimum base rental income, under the existing operating leases for the Sierra Creekside property, to be recognized on a straight-line basis and amounts to be received on a cash basis are as follows: STRAIGHT-LINE CASH YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, BASIS BASIS ------------------------ ---------- ---------- 2000 $ 799,950 $ 808,869 2001 579,738 596,785 2002 380,580 400,408 2003 134,902 141,055 2004 1,998 2,032 ---------- ---------- Total $1,897,168 $1,949,149 ========== ========== The Partnership relied on three tenants to generate 44% of total 1999 rental income.

NOTE PAYABLE At December 31, 1999, note payable consisted of one loan with a bank with an original principal balance of $1,850,000. The note bore interest at 3.5% above the 11th District Cost of Funds Index with a minimum of 9% and a maximum of 14% (9% at December 31, 1999). The note was secured by substantially all of the assets of the Partnership. The maturity date of the note was July 1, 2005. On January 25, 2000, the bank note was repaid. On the same date, the Partnership entered into a new loan agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation ("GECC") in the amount of $4,250,000. The lender funded $4,050,000 at closing and held back $200,000 to be drawn upon to help finance future tenant improvements and leasing costs. This loan, which is secured by the Sierra Creekside property, bears interest at 2.75% above the GECC Composite Commercial Paper Rate (8.52% at December 31, 1999). Principal and interest payments are due monthly based on a 30-year amortization. The loan matures January 31, 2005. 25 Sierra Pacific Development Fund Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Page six Annual maturities on the GECC loan are: $23,983 in 2000; $31,183 in 2001; $34,030 in 2002; $37,138 in 2003; $40,529 in 2004; and $3,883,137 thereafter.

PARTNERS' EQUITY Accrual basis profits and losses resulting from operations of the Partnership are allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner. Currently, the Partnership does not meet the criteria for distributing cash to the General Partner, and it cannot reasonably predict when the criteria will be met. Accordingly, no accrual basis profits and losses from operations were allocated to the General Partner. Upon any sale, refinancing or other dispositions of the Partnership's real property, allocations of the proceeds are distributed to the Limited Partners until each has received 100% of his Adjusted Capital Contributions plus a 15% per annum cumulative return on such invested capital. Any remaining proceeds shall be distributed 80% to the Limited Partners and 20% to the General Partner. 26 EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE GENERAL PARTNER The Executive Officers of S-P Properties, Inc., the General Partner are as follows: NAME POSITION - ---- -------- Thomas N. Thurber President and Director Gregory J. Nooney, Jr. Vice President Patricia A. Nooney Vice President William J. Carden Assistant Secretary/Treasurer and Director The 10-K Report sent to the Securities and Exchange Commission contains additional information on the Partnership's operations and is available to Limited Partners upon request. 27 EX-27 2
