e) INVESTORS FIRST-STAGED EQUITY L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Investors First- Staged Equity L.P. (the "Partnership") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of MAERIL, Inc. (the "General Partner"), all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 information to conform to the 1998 presentation. NOTE B - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the General Partner or its affiliates for the management and administration of all partnership activities. The General Partner is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Insignia Properties Trust ("IPT"), an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia"). The General Partner or its affiliates may be reimbursed for direct expenses relating to the Partnership's administration and other costs charged on behalf of the Partnership. Effective January 2, 1998, VMS Realty Investment II the prior General Partner was replaced by MAERIL, Inc. an affiliate of Insignia. The Partnership has engaged affiliates of Insignia to provide day-to-day management of the Partnership's properties. These affiliates received approximately $116,000 and $99,000 of such fees for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. An affiliate of Insignia also provided partnership administration and management services for the Partnership. Reimbursements for direct expenses relating to these services totaled approximately $77,000 (including $40,000 of loan costs related to the refinancing of the properties in 1997) for the three months ended March 31, 1998, and $38,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. On March 17, 1998, Insignia entered into an agreement to merge its national residential property management operations, and its controlling interest in IPT with Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust. The closing, which is anticipated to happen in the third quarter of 1998, is subject to customary conditions, including government approvals and the approval of Insignia's shareholders. If the closing occurs, AIMCO will then control the General Partner of the Partnership. NOTE C - EARLY EXTINGHUISHMENT OF DEBT At March 31, 1998, the total estimated future cash payments, on the Partnership's properties second mortgages, are less than the recorded balance. Therefore, in compliance with Financial Accounting Standards 15, the Partnership reduced the carrying balance to the estimated future cash payments of $1,573,000 (Richardson Highlands) and $3,355,000 (Rivercrest Village), recognizing an extraordinary gain of approximately $10,000 on the partial extinguishment of debt. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS The Partnership's investment properties consist of two apartment complexes and one commercial property. The following table sets forth the average occupancy for these properties for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997: 1998 1997 Rivercrest Village Apartments Sacramento, California 90% 95% Richardson Highlands Apartments Marin City, California 99% 98% Serramonte Plaza Daly City, California 95% 79% The General Partner attributes the decrease in occupancy at Rivercrest Village Apartments to a recent change in demographics of the property's location. The increase in occupancy at Serramonte Plaza was primarily due to the vacancy of one building during 1997 which accounted for approximately 8% of the property. This building was sold in April of 1997. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Partnership realized a net loss of approximately $65,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998, compared to a net loss of approximately $479,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The decrease in net loss is attributable to an increase in rental income and a decrease in interest expense. Rental income increased due to increased occupancy at Serromonte Plaza and Richardson Highlands Apartments which was partially offset by a decrease in occupancy at Rivercrest Village Apartments. The increase in rental income was also due to rental rate increases at Richardson Highlands and Rivercrest Village Apartments. Interest expense decreased due to the refinancing of the first mortgages on Serramonte Plaza, Richardson Highland and Rivercrest Village and the pay down of Richardson Highland and Rivercrest Village's second mortgages. The pay down of these second mortgages caused the total estimated future cash payments to be less than the recorded balances; therefore, in compliance with Financial Accounting Standard 15, the Partnership reduce the carrying balance to the estimated future cash payments of $1,573,000 (Richardson Highlands) and $3,355,000 (Rivercrest Village), recognizing an extraordinary gain of approximately $10,000 on the partial extinguishment of debt at March 31, 1998. Included in operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 1998 is approximately $6,000 of major repairs and maintenance comprised primarily of exterior building improvements and swimming pool repairs. For the three months ended March 31, 1997, approximately $13,000 of major repairs and maintenance comprised primarily of major landscaping and exterior building improvements were included in operating expense. As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the General Partner monitors the rental market environment of each of its investment properties to assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in expenses. As part of this plan, the General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from the burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a high overall occupancy level. However, due to changing market conditions, which can result in the use of rental concessions and rental reductions to offset softening market conditions, there is no guarantee that the General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Partnership held cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2,769,000 at March 31, 1998, compared to approximately $2,006,000 at March 31, 1997. The net increase in cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $129,000. The net increase in cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $449,000. The net cash provided by operating activities increased primarily due to the decrease in net loss as described above and an increase in accrued property taxes related to the timing of payments and the sale of one building at Serramonte Plaza. This increase was partially offset by the reduction in the accrual of interest. The decrease in the accrual of interest as compared to the three month period in 1997 is due to the refinancing of all the properties' first mortgages at a lower interest rate and the decrease in mortgage notes payable as a result of payments made. Net cash provided by investing activities increased due to an increase in withdrawals from the capital improvement and replacement reserve escrows. These funds were used to purchase property improvements and replacements. Net cash used in financing activities increased due to additional loan costs incurred on the refinancing of Richardson Highland and Rivercrest Village Apartments. This increase is also attributable to an increase on the second mortgage payments on the Richardson Highland and Rivercrest Village Apartments. The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital expenditures required at the properties to adequately maintain the physical assets and other operating needs of the Partnership. The mortgage indebtedness of approximately $45,285,000, matures from January 2000 until January 2008, with balloon payments due at maturity, at which time the properties will either be refinanced or sold. Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of cash generated from operations, property sales, and availability of cash reserves. No cash distributions were paid during the three months ended March 31, 1998 or March 31, 1997. Year 2000 The Partnership is dependent upon the General Partner and Insignia for management and administrative services. Insignia has completed an assessment and will have to modify or replace portions of its software so that its computer systems will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and thereafter (the "Year 2000 Issue"). The project is estimated to be completed not later than December 31, 1998, which is prior to any anticipated impact on its operating systems. The General Partner believes that with modifications to existing software and conversions to new software, the Year 2000 Issue will not pose significant operational problems for its computer systems. However, if such modifications and conversions are not made, or are not completed timely, the Year 2000 Issue could have a material impact on the operations of the Partnership.
