4. Related party transactions:
The terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement provide that the General
Partners and/or their Affiliates are entitled to receive certain fees for
equipment acquisition, management and resale and management of the
Partnership.
The General Partners earned partnership management fees equal to 5% of cash
distributed from operations and equipment management fees equal to 2% of full
payout lease rentals and 5% of operating lease rentals pursuant to the Limited
Partnership Agreement. Effective April 1, 1994, the General Partners elected
to waive all management fees. The amount of management fees earned in 1994 was
$20,359.
The Limited Partnership Agreement allows for the reimbursement of costs
incurred by ATEL in providing administrative services to the Partnership.
Administrative services provided include partnership accounting, investor
relations, legal counsel and lease and equipment documentation. ATEL is not
reimbursed for services where it is entitled to receive a separate fee as
compensation for such services, such as acquisition and disposition of
equipment. Reimbursable costs incurred by ATEL are allocated to the
Partnership based upon actual time incurred by employees working on
Partnership business and an allocation of rent and other costs based on
utilization studies. Effective May 1, 1994, the General Partners have elected
to waive all reimbursements of administrative costs. In 1995, $32,427 was
waived. Costs charged and reimbursed in 1994 totaled $34,380.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Capital Resources and Liquidity
At June 30, 1995, the Partnership had cash balances of $168,677. Of this
amount, $135,761 was cash held for the distribution made to the Limited
Partners in July of 1995.
During the first and second quarters, the Partnership's primary sources of
liquidity were cash flows from the sales of marketable securities and cash
received relating to the bankruptcy settlement of Financial News Network (FNN),
a former lessee of the Partnership. Lease rentals were the second major source
of liquidity in the first and second quarters. The liquidity of the
Partnership will vary in the future, increasing to the extent cash flows from
operations exceed expenses, and decreasing as distributions are made to the
Limited Partners and to the extent expenses exceed cash flows from leases and
proceeds form asset sales.
The Partnership currently has available adequate reserves to meet
contingencies.
As of June 30, 1995, the Partnership had borrowed approximately $2,817,500 with
a remaining unpaid balance of $205,517. Between December 31, 1994 and June 30,
1995, new borrowings totaled $207,517. The borrowings are non-recourse to the
Partnership, that is the only recourse of the lender is to equipment or
corresponding lease acquired or secured with the loan proceeds. The Agreement
of Limited Partnership limits such borrowings to 80% of the total cost of
equipment, in aggregate.
The Partnership made a distribution of cash from operations to the Limited
Partners in April 1995. This distribution was based on the results of
operations in the first quarter of 1995. The amount of the distribution was
$3.43 per Unit. The distribution represents an annualized distribution rate
of 2.74%.
The Partnership also made a distribution of cash from operations to the
Limited Partners in July 1995. This distribution was based on the results of
operations in the second quarter of 1995. The amount of the distribution was
$6.07 per Unit. The distribution represents an annualized distribution rate of
4.86%.
If inflation in the general economy becomes significant, it may affect the
Partnership inasmuch as the residual (resale) values and rates on re-leases of
the Partnership's leased assets may increase as the costs of similar assets
increase. However, the Partnership's revenues from existing leases would not
increase, as such rates are generally fixed for the terms of the leases without
adjustment for inflation.
If interest rates increase or decrease significantly, the lease rates that the
Partnership can obtain on future leases will be expected to increase or
decrease in parallel as the cost of capital is a significant factor in the
pricing of lease financing. Leases already in place, for the most part, would
not be affected by changes in interest rates.
Six months, 1995 vs. 1994
During the first six months of 1995, the Partnership's largest sources of
operating cash flows came from the sales of marketable securities and from
cash received as a part of the bankruptcy settlement of FNN, $68,158 and
$103,286, respectively. Both of these events were of a one time nature.
Cash flows from operations resulting from operating lease rents decreased by
about $67,000 due to lease terminations as discussed under the caption
"Results of Operations". Operating lease rents and proceeds from asset sales
were the primary sources of cash for the six month period in 1994.
Proceeds of the sales of assets decreased in 1995 compared to 1994. This was
a result of a smaller amount of equipment being sold (cost of $114,972 in 1995
compared to $1,161,120 in 1994). The types of equipment sold in the two years
was not comparable. Reductions in the net investment in financing leases
decreased due to lease terminations and asset dispositions in the last twelve
months. Investing uses of cash decreased from $250,705 in 1994 to $208,789 in
1995. In both years the uses related to the purchase of lease assets.
In 1995, the only financing source of cash was proceeds from long-term
non-recourse debt. The debt proceeds were used to purchase operating lease
assets. There were no financing sources of cash in the six month periods in
1994. Repayments of debt decreased for the six month period due to lower debt
balances in 1994 compared to 1993 resulting from scheduled debt payments. As of
December 31, 1994, all long-term non-recourse debt had been repaid. The new
borrowings were made near the end of the second quarter and no principal
payments were scheduled between the date the funds were borrowed and June 30,
1995.
Three months, 1995 vs. 1994
Cash flows from operations increased due to the same causes noted above for the
six month period. Cash flows from securities sales and FNN were the primary
sources of cash in the three month period in 1995.
Cash flows from investing activities decreased compared to 1994. The decrease
was primarily the result of lower amounts of asset sales in the second quarter
of 1995 compared to 1994.
The only financing source of cash was the proceeds of debt discussed above.
There were no financing sources of cash in the three month period in 1994.
Results of Operations
The results of operations in future periods may vary significantly from those
of the first six months of 1995 as the Partnership's lease portfolio of capital
equipment matures. Revenues from leases are expected to decline over the long
term as leased assets come off lease and are sold or re-leased at lower lease
rates. The effect on net income is not determinable as it will depend to a
large degree on the amounts received from the sales of assets or from re-leases
to either the same or new lessees once the initial lease terms expire.
Six and three months, 1995 vs. 1994
Operating lease revenues have declined due to lease terminations and
subsequent asset sales. Depreciation has also decreased due to the asset
dispositions and the resulting smaller portfolio of leased equipment.
Management fees are related to the amounts of lease revenues and have decreased
as a result of the decreased amounts of those revenues. Additionally, the
General Partners have suspended the accrual and payment of these fees effective
April 1, 1994. The General Partners also suspended administrative cost
reimbursements effective May 1, 1994. Interest expense has decreased as the
average balances of outstanding debt have been reduced as a result of scheduled
debt payments. The gains on sales of marketable securities and cash received
related to FNN are not expected to occur again in future periods.
