PART I Item 1. Description of Business Angeles Partners XV (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") is a publicly-held limited partnership organized under the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act pursuant to the Certificate and Agreement of Limited Partnership (herein- after referred to as "the Agreement") dated June 29, 1984. The Partnership's Managing General Partner is Angeles Realty Corporation II, a California corpo- ration (hereinafter referred to as the "Managing General Partner" or "ARCII"). The Managing General Partner was formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of Angeles Real Estate Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Angeles Corporation and is engaged in providing similar services to other partnerships. On November 24, 1992, the outstanding stock of the Managing General Partner was effectively transferred to IAP GP Corporation, an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group, Inc. Inasmuch as the information contained herein relates to the operation of the Partnership for periods during which neither IAP GP Corporation nor any of its affiliates managed the properties or operations of the Partnership, such information has been provided by Angeles Real Estate Corporation. The Partnership, through its public offering of Limited Partnership Units, sold 17,321 units aggregating $17,321,000. The Managing General Partner contributed capital in the amount of $1,000 for a 1% interest in the Partnership. The Partnership was formed for the purpose of acquiring fee and other forms of equity interests in various types of real property. The Partnership currently owns two investment properties. The Registrant has no employees. Administrative services are performed by Angeles Realty Corporation II, the Managing General Partner and an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia"). Item 2. Description of Properties As of December 31, 1994, the Partnership adopted the liquidation basis of accounting. The Partnership has experienced significant recurring operating losses. In March 1995, the lender on the non-recourse debt secured by the Marina Plaza notified the Partnership that this debt was in default and initiated foreclosure proceedings. Marina Plaza was placed in receivership in June 1995, and was foreclosed upon on August 1, 1995. In addition, the Partnership was in default on recourse indebtedness totaling $3,500,000 due to Angeles Mortgage Investment Trust ("AMIT"). Of this debt, $1,500,000 was secured by one of the remaining Cleveland Industrial Complex ("Cleveland") buildings and AMIT placed the property in receivership in January 1995, and foreclosed on the property on September 6, 1995. AMIT also foreclosed on another of the Cleveland buildings on August 23, 1995. The remaining $2,000,000 was recourse to the Partnership and AMIT received a default judgment against the Partnership on January 18, 1995. As a result of the foreclosure on the Cleveland building on August 23, 1995, this judgment was reduced by $500,000. At this time, the Managing General Partner believes the equity in the remaining three Cleveland buildings is not sufficient to retire the AMIT debt, therefore, the Managing General Partner expects to transfer the Partnership's interest in the remaining Cleveland buildings to AMIT. In July of 1996, AMIT entered a complaint for foreclosure and other relief against Angeles Partners XV. On July 26, 1996, the remaining Cleveland properties were placed in receivership. The receiver is authorized to collect the rents, profits and all income derived from the properties, to maintain the premises, and otherwise preserve, manage, maintain and protect such properties. The Partnership does not intend, nor does it have the ability, to purchase any additional properties and the Managing General Partner has decided to liquidate the Partnership upon foreclosure of the final property. Item 3. Legal Proceedings In July 1996, AMIT entered a complaint for foreclosure and other relief against Angeles Partners XV. On July 26, 1996, the remaining Cleveland Properties were placed in receivership. The receiver is authorized to collect the rents, profits and all income derived from the properties, to maintain the premises, and otherwise preserve, manage, maintain and protect such properties. The Partnership does not intend nor does it have the ability to purchase any additional properties and the Managing General Partner has decided to liquidate the Partnership upon foreclosure of the final property. MAE GP Corporation ("MAE GP"), an affiliate of the General Partner, owns 1,675,113 Class B Shares of AMIT. MAE GP has the option to convert these Class B Shares, in whole or in part, into Class A Shares on the basis of 1 Class A Share for every 49 Class B Shares. These Class B Shares entitle MAE GP to receive 1% of the distributions of net cash distributed by AMIT. These Class B Shares also entitle MAE GP to vote on the same basis as Class A Shares which allows MAE GP to vote approximately 39% of the total shares (unless and until converted to Class A Shares at which time the percentage of the vote controlled represented by the shares held by MAE GP would approximate 1.3% of the vote). Between the date of acquisition of these shares (November 24, 1992) and March 31, 1995, MAE GP declined to vote these shares. Since that date, MAE GP voted its shares at the 1995 and 1996 annual meetings in connection with the election of trustees and other matters. MAE GP has not exerted, and continues to decline to exert, any management control over or participate in the management of AMIT. MAE GP may choose to vote these shares as it deems appropriate in the future. In addition, Liquidity Assistance, LLC, ("LAC"), an affiliate of the General Partner and an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group, Inc., ("Insignia") which provides property management and partnership administration services to the Partnership, owns 126,500 Class A shares of AMIT. These Class A Shares entitle LAC to vote approximately 2.9% of the total shares. In addition, Insignia has engaged and continues to engage in discussions with AMIT regarding various potential business combinations with affiliates of Insignia. As part of the settlement of certain disputes with AMIT, MAE GP granted to AMIT an option to acquire the Class B shares owned by it. This option can be exercised at the end of 10 years or when all loans made by AMIT to partnerships affiliated with MAE GP as of November 9, 1994, (which is the date of execution of a definitive Settlement Agreement) have been paid in full, but in no event prior to November 9, 1997. AMIT delivered to MAE GP cash in the sum of $250,000 at closing, which occurred April 14, 1995, as payment for the option. Upon exercise of the option, AMIT would remit to MAE GP an additional $94,000. Simultaneously with the execution of the option, MAE GP executed an irrevocable proxy in favor of AMIT the result of which is MAE GP will be able to vote the Class B shares on all matters except those involving transactions between AMIT and MAE GP affiliated borrowers or the election of any MAE GP affiliate as an officer or trustee of AMIT. On those matters, MAE GP granted to the AMIT trustees, in their capacity as trustees of AMIT, proxies with regard to the Class B shares instructing such trustees to vote said Class B shares in accordance with the vote of the majority of Class A Shares voting to be determined without consideration of the votes of "Excess Class A Shares" as defined in Section 6.13 of the Declaration of Trust of AMIT. Except for the issues stated, the Registrant is unaware of any pending or outstanding litigation that is not of a routine nature. The Managing General Partner of the Registrant believes that all such pending or outstanding litigation will be resolved without a material adverse effect upon the business, financial condition, or operations of the Partnership. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders The security holders of the Partnership did not vote on any matter during the fiscal year covered by this report. PART II Item 5. Market for the Partnership's Common Equity and Related Security Holder Matters The Partnership, a publicly-held limited partnership, sold 17,321 Limited Partnership Units during its offering period through April 1, 1987. The Partnership currently has 17,149 Limited Partnership Units outstanding and 1,708 Limited Partners of record. There is no intention to sell additional Limited Partnership Units nor is there an established market for these units. The Partnership has discontinued making cash distributions from operations and does not anticipate any cash available for distributions upon the liquidation of the Partnership. Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation This item should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and other items contained elsewhere in this report. Results of Operations, Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 31, 1994, the Partnership adopted the liquidation basis of accounting. The Partnership has experienced significant recurring operating losses. In March 1995, the lender on the non-recourse debt secured by the Marina Plaza notified the Partnership that this debt was in default and initiated foreclosure proceedings. Marina Plaza was placed in receivership in June 1995, and was foreclosed upon on August 1, 1995. The Partnership was in default on recourse indebtedness totaling $3,500,000 due to Angeles Mortgage Investment Trust ("AMIT"). Of this debt, $1,500,000 was secured by one of the remaining Cleveland Industrial Complex ("Cleveland") buildings and AMIT placed the property in receivership in January 1995, and foreclosed on it September 6, 1995. AMIT also foreclosed on another of the Cleveland buildings on August 23, 1995. The remaining $2,000,000 is recourse to the Partnership and AMIT received a default judgment against the Partnership on January 18, 1995. As a result of the foreclosure on the Cleveland building on August 23, 1995, this judgment was reduced by $500,000. At this time, the Managing General Partner believes the equity in the remaining three Cleveland buildings is not sufficient to retire the AMIT debt, therefore, the Managing General Partner expects to transfer the Partnership's interest in the remaining Cleveland buildings to AMIT. In July of 1996, AMIT entered a complaint for foreclosure and other relief against Angeles Partners XV. On July 26, 1996, the remaining Cleveland properties were placed in receivership. The receiver is authorized to collect the rents, profits and all income derived from the properties, to maintain the premises, and otherwise preserve, manage, maintain and protect such properties. The Managing General Partner intends to terminate the Partnership upon foreclosure of the final property. In November 1992, Angeles Acceptance Pool ("AAP"), a Delaware limited partnership, was organized to acquire and hold the obligations evidencing the working capital loan previously provided by Angeles Capital Investment, Inc. ("ACII"). Angeles Corporation ("Angeles") is the 99% limited partner of AAP and Angeles Acceptance Directives, Inc.("AAD"), an affiliate of the Managing General Partner, was, until April 14, 1995, the 1% General Partner of AAP. On April 14, 1995, as part of a settlement of claims between affiliates of the Managing General Partner and Angeles, AAD resigned as general partner of AAP and simultaneously received a 1/2% limited partner interest in AAP. An affiliate of Angeles now serves as the general partner of AAP. AAP's working capital loan funded the Partnership's operating deficits in prior years. Total indebtedness, which is included as a note payable, was approximately $1,582,000 at December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, with monthly interest only payments at prime plus 2%. Principal is to be paid the earlier of i) the availability of funds, ii) the sale of one or more properties owned by the Partnership, or iii) November 25, 1997. Total interest charges for this loan were approximately $163,000 and $171,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. As a result of the decision to liquidate the Partnership, the Partnership changed its basis of accounting for its financial statements at December 31, 1994, from the going concern basis of accounting to the liquidation basis of accounting. Consequently, assets have been valued at the estimated net realizable value and liabilities are presented at their estimated settlement amounts, including estimated costs associated with carrying out the liquidation. The valuation of assets and liabilities necessarily requires many estimates and assumptions and there are substantial uncertainties in carrying out the liquidation. The actual realization of assets and settlement of liabilities could be higher or lower than amounts indicated and is based upon the Managing General Partner's estimates as of the date of the financial statements. The investment properties were adjusted to their estimated net realizable value. The estimated net realizable value for the three Cleveland buildings remaining at December 31, 1996, was based on independent appraisals. The statement of net liabilities in liquidation as of December 31, 1996, includes approximately $548,000 of accrued costs that the Managing General Partner estimates will be incurred during the period of liquidation, based on the assumption that the liquidation process will be completed during the fourth quarter of 1997. These costs include anticipated legal fees ($11,000) and administrative expenses ($811,000), less income from property operations ($274,000). Because the success in realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities is based on the Managing General Partner's best estimates, the liquidation period may be shorter than projected or it may be extended beyond the projected period. For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Partnership recorded an increase in the estimated costs during the period of liquidation of approximately $241,000. This increase is primarily due to the extension of the liquidation period to December of 1997. Item 7. Financial Statements ANGELES PARTNERS XV LIST OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Report of Independent Auditors Statement of Net Liabilities in Liquidation - December 31, 1996 Statement of Changes in Net Liabilities in Liquidation - Year ended December 31, 1996 Statement of Changes in Net Liabilities in Liquidation - Year ended December 31, 1995 Notes to Financial Statements Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors The Partners Angeles Partners XV We have audited the statement of net liabilities in liquidation of Angeles Partners XV as of December 31, 1996 and the related statements of changes in net liabilities in liquidation for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1996. 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 the Partnership's 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 net liabilities in liquidation of Angeles Partners XV as of December 31, 1996 and the changes in net liabilities in liquidation for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on the basis of accounting described in Note A to the financial statements. /S/ERNST & YOUNG LLP Greenville, South Carolina March 12, 1997 ANGELES PARTNERS XV Statement of Net Liabilities in Liquidation (in thousands) December 31, 1996 1996 Assets Cash $ 370 Other assets 14 Investment properties (Note A) 5,400 5,784 Liabilities Property taxes 111 Interest 2,183 Notes payable, including $1,500,000 in default (Notes A and B) 6,967 Estimated costs during the period of liquidation (Note A) 548 9,809 Net liabilities in liquidation (Note A) $(4,025) See Accompanying Notes to Financial Statements ANGELES PARTNERS XV STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET LIABILITIES IN LIQUIDATION (in thousands) Year Ended December 31, 1996 Net liabilities in liquidation at December 31, 1995 $(3,209) Changes in net liabilities in liquidation attributed to: Increase in unrestricted cash 139 Decrease in restricted cash (11) Decrease in escrows for taxes (8) Decrease in other assets (28) Increase in accrued taxes (58) Decrease in tenant security deposit liabilities 2 Increase in accrued interest (623) Decrease in other liabilities 12 Increase in estimated costs during the period of liquidation (241) Net liabilities in liquidation at December 31, 1996 $(4,025) See Accompanying Notes to Financial Statements ANGELES PARTNERS XV STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET LIABILITIES IN LIQUIDATION (in thousands) Year Ended December 31, 1995 Net liabilities in liquidation at December 31, 1994 $(5,861) Changes in net liabilities in liquidation attributed to: Increase in unrestricted cash 53 Decrease in restricted cash (47) Decrease in accounts receivable (86) Decrease in escrows for taxes (146) Decrease in other assets (4) Decrease in investment properties (9,701) Decrease in accounts payable 68 Decrease in accrued taxes 95 Decrease in tenant security deposit liabilities 158 Increase in accrued interest (225) Decrease in other liabilities 259 Decrease in mortgage notes payable 11,858 Decrease in estimated costs during the period of liquidation 370 Net liabilities in liquidation at December 31, 1995 $(3,209) See Accompanying Notes to Financial Statements ANGELES PARTNERS XV (A Limited Partnership) Notes to Financial Statements Note A - Organization and Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation As of December 31, 1994, the Partnership adopted the liquidation basis of accounting. The Partnership has experienced significant recurring operating losses. In March 1995, the lender on the non-recourse debt secured by the Marina Plaza notified the Partnership that this debt was in default and initiated foreclosure proceedings. Marina Plaza was placed in receivership in June 1995, and was foreclosed upon on August 1, 1995. In addition, the Partnership was in default on recourse indebtedness totaling $3,500,000 due to Angeles Mortgage Investment Trust ("AMIT"). Of this debt, $1,500,000 was secured by one of the remaining Cleveland Industrial Complex ("Cleveland") buildings and AMIT placed the property in receivership in January 1995, and foreclosed on the property on September 6, 1995. AMIT also foreclosed on another of the Cleveland buildings on August 23, 1995. The remaining $2,000,000 was recourse to the Partnership and AMIT received a default judgment against the Partnership on January 18, 1995. As a result of the foreclosure on the Cleveland building on August 23, 1995, this judgment was reduced by $500,000. At this time, the Managing General Partner believes the equity in the remaining three Cleveland buildings is not sufficient to retire the AMIT debt, therefore, the Managing General Partner expects to transfer the Partnership's interest in the remaining Cleveland buildings to AMIT. In July of 1996, AMIT entered a complaint for foreclosure and other relief against Angeles Partners XV. On July 26, 1996, the remaining Cleveland properties were placed in receivership. The receiver is authorized to collect the rents, profits and all income derived from the properties, to maintain the premises, and otherwise preserve, manage, maintain and protect such properties. The Partnership does not intend nor does it have the ability to purchase any additional properties and the Managing General Partner has decided to liquidate the Partnership upon foreclosure of the final property. As a result of the decision to liquidate the Partnership, the Partnership changed its basis of accounting for its financial statements at December 31, 1994, from the going concern basis of accounting to the liquidation basis of accounting. Consequently, assets have been valued at estimated net realizable value and liabilities are presented at their estimated settlement amounts, including estimated costs associated with carrying out the liquidation. The valuation of assets and liabilities necessarily requires many estimates and assumptions and there are substantial uncertainties in carrying out the liquidation. The actual realization of assets and settlement of liabilities could be higher or lower than amounts indicated and is based upon the Managing General Partner's estimates as of the date of the financial statements. The investment properties were adjusted to their estimated net realizable values. The net realizable values were based on certified appraisals. The statement of net liabilities in liquidation as of December 31, 1996, includes approximately $548,000 of costs, net of income, that the Managing General Partner estimates will be incurred during the period of liquidation, based on the assumption that the liquidation process will be completed by December 31, 1997. These costs include anticipated legal fees and administrative expenses, net of estimated income from property operations. Because the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities is based on the Managing General Partner's best estimates, the liquidation period may be shorter than projected or it may be extended beyond the projected period. Organization: Angeles Partners XV ("the Partnership") is a California limited partnership organized on June 29, 1984, to acquire and operate commercial properties. The Partnership's Managing General Partner is Angeles Realty Corporation II ("ARC II"), an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group, Inc. As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership operates three commercial properties in Cleveland, Ohio. Allocations to Partners: Net income and losses (excluding those arising from the occurrence of sales or dispositions) of the Partnership will be allocated 1% to the Managing General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners on an annual basis. In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, any gain from the sale or other disposition of Partnership assets will be allocated first to the Managing General Partner to the extent of the amount of any Incentive Interests (as defined below) to which the Managing General Partner is entitled. Any gain remaining after said allocation will be allocated to the Managing General Partner and Limited Partners in proportion to their interests in the Partnership, provided that the gain shall first be allocated to Partners with negative account balances, in proportion to such balances, in an amount equal to the sum of such negative capital account balances. Except as discussed below, the Partnership will allocate distributions 1% to the Managing General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners. Upon the sale or other disposition, or refinancing of any asset of the Partnership, the Distributable Net Proceeds shall be distributed as follows: (i) First, to the Partners in proportion to their interests until the Limited Partners have received proceeds equal to their Original Capital Investment applicable to the property; (ii) Second, to the Partners until the Limited Partners have received distributions from all sources equal to their 6% Cumulative Distribution; (iii) Third, to the Managing General Partner until it has received an amount equal to 3% of the aggregate disposition price of all properties ("Initial Incentive Interest") and (iv) Thereafter, 76% to the Partners in proportion to their interests and 24% ("Final Incentive Interest") to the Managing General Partner. Cash: Unrestricted cash includes cash on hand and in banks and money market funds. At certain times the amount of cash deposited at a bank may exceed the limit on insured deposits. Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 balances to conform to the 1996 presentation. Leases: The Partnership leases commercial space to tenants under various lease terms. Note B - Notes Payable The principal terms of notes payable are as follows (dollar amounts in thousands): Principal Monthly Principal Balance At Payment Stated Balance December 31, Including Interest Maturity Due At 1996 Interest(1) Rate Date Maturity Cleveland Industrial 1st mortgage $1,775 $11 7.15% 09/98 $1,775 1st mortgage 2,090 12 7.15% 09/98 2,090 Angeles Partners XV-AAP Notes payable (Note D) 1,582 10 (5) 11/97 1,582 Note payable in default(2)(3)(4) 1,500 21 12.50% 12/95 1,500 Note payable 20 0 8.00% 07/04 20 $6,967 $54 $6,967 (1) Interest only payments. (2) The Partnership executed mortgages on previously owned properties to secure this obligation. However, the holder of the first trust deeds, whose loan documents prohibit subliens, required the second trust deeds to be removed from record. Accordingly, this obligation is now unsecured. (3) Debt is currently in default as debt service has been discontinued. (4) Loan provided by Angeles Mortgage Investment Trust (See "Note D"). (5) Interest calculated at prime plus 2% (currently 10.25%). Mortgages are collateralized by the related property and improvements and by pledge of revenues from the property and improvements of the Partnership. Scheduled principal payments of notes payable subsequent to December 31, 1996, are as follows (in thousands): 1997 $3,082 1998 3,865 1999 -- 2000 -- 2001 -- Thereafter 20 $6,967 Note C - Income Taxes Taxable income or loss of the Partnership is reported in the income tax returns of its partners. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is made in the financial statements of the Partnership. For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Federal taxable loss was approximately $818,000, or $47.23 per limited partnership unit. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Federal taxable income was $2,704,000 or $155.26 per limited partnership unit. The following is a reconciliation between the Partnership's reported amounts and Federal tax basis of net liabilities (in thousands): Net liabilities in liquidation, as reported $(4,025) Land and buildings 1,042 Accumulated depreciation (3,002) Syndication and distribution costs 2,548 Other 664 Net liabilities - Federal tax basis $(2,773) Note D - Transactions with Affiliated Parties On November 24, 1992, Angeles Real Estate Corporation, the parent of the Managing General Partner at that time, effectively transferred all of the outstanding stock of the Managing General Partner to IAP GP Corporation, an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group. As a result of the transfer of ownership of the Managing General Partner to IAP GP Corporation, affiliates of Insignia now provide property management and asset management services to the Partnership. The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the Managing General Partner and its affiliates for the administration of all partnership activities. The Partnership Agreement provides for payments to affiliates for services and as reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership. The day to day management of the remaining investment properties are managed by a third party receiver, which was court appointed. The following amounts (in thousands) were paid to the Managing General Partner and affiliates in 1996 and 1995: 1996 1995 Property management fees $ 29 $ 76 Property lease commissions -- 79 Reimbursement for services of affiliates 73 145 The Partnership insures its properties under a master policy through an agency and insurer unaffiliated with the Managing General Partner. An affiliate of the Managing General Partner acquired, in the acquisition of a business, certain financial obligations from an insurance agency which was later acquired by the agent who placed the current year's master policy. The current agent assumed the financial obligations to the affiliate of the Managing General Partner who receives payments on these obligations from the agent. The amount of the partnership's insurance premiums accruing to the benefit of the affiliate of the Managing General Partner by virtue of the agent's obligations is not significant. In November 1992, Angeles Acceptance Pool ("AAP"), a Delaware limited partnership, was organized to acquire and hold the obligations evidencing the working capital loan previously provided by Angeles Capital Investment, Inc. ("ACII"). Angeles Corporation ("Angeles") is the 99% limited partner of AAP and Angeles Acceptance Directives, Inc.("AAD"), an affiliate of the Managing General Partner, was, until April 14, 1995, the 1% General Partner of AAP. On April 14, 1995, as part of a settlement of claims between affiliates of the Managing General Partner and Angeles, AAD resigned as general partner of AAP and simultaneously received a 1/2% limited partner interest in AAP. An affiliate of Angeles now serves as the general partner of AAP. AAP's working capital loan funded the Partnership's operating deficits in prior years. Total indebtedness, which is included as a note payable, was approximately $1,582,000 at December 31, 1996, with monthly interest only payments at prime plus 2%. Principal is to be paid the earlier of i) the availability of funds, ii) the sale of one or more properties owned by the Partnership, or iii) November 25, 1997. Total interest charges for this loan were approximately $163,000 and $171,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Angeles Mortgage Investment Trust ("AMIT"), a real estate investment trust, has provided secondary financing to the Partnership secured by the Partnership's investment properties known as Cleveland Industrial and Marina Plaza. One of the notes in the amount of $600,000 secured by one of the Cleveland Industrial buildings was assumed by the purchaser of the building during 1994. Total AMIT indebtedness at December 31, 1996, is $1,500,000, plus accrued interest of approximately $1,541,000. Total interest charges were approximately $436,000 and $580,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. MAE GP Corporation ("MAE GP"), an affiliate of the General Partner, owns 1,675,113 Class B Shares of AMIT. MAE GP has the option to convert these Class B Shares, in whole or in part, into Class A Shares on the basis of 1 Class A Share for every 49 Class B Shares. These Class B Shares entitle MAE GP to receive 1% of the distributions of net cash distributed by AMIT. These Class B Shares also entitle MAE GP to vote on the same basis as Class A Shares which allows MAE GP to vote approximately 39% of the total shares (unless and until converted to Class A Shares at which time the percentage of the vote controlled represented by the shares held by MAE GP would approximate 1.3% of the vote). Between the date of acquisition of these shares (November 24, 1992) and March 31, 1995, MAE GP declined to vote these shares. Since that date, MAE GP voted its shares at the 1995 and 1996 annual meetings in connection with the election of trustees and other matters. MAE GP has not exerted, and continues to decline to exert, any management control over or participate in the management of AMIT. MAE GP may choose to vote these shares as it deems appropriate in the future. In addition, Liquidity Assistance, LLC, ("LAC"), an affiliate of the Managing General Partner and an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group, Inc., ("Insignia") which provides property management and partnership administration services to the Partnership, currently owns 126,500 Class A shares of AMIT. These Class A Shares entitle LAC to vote approximately 2.9% of the total shares. In addition, Insignia has engaged and continues to engage in discussions with AMIT regarding various potential business combinations with affiliates of Insignia. As part of the settlement of certain disputes with AMIT, MAE GP granted to AMIT an option to acquire the Class B shares owned by it. This option can be exercised at the end of 10 years or when all loans made by AMIT to partnerships affiliated with MAE GP as of November 9, 1994, (which is the date of execution of a definitive Settlement Agreement) have been paid in full, but in no event prior to November 9, 1997. AMIT delivered to MAE GP cash in the sum of $250,000 at closing, which occurred April 14, 1995, as payment for the option. Upon exercise of the option, AMIT would remit to MAE GP an additional $94,000. Simultaneously with the execution of the option, MAE GP executed an irrevocable proxy in favor of AMIT thereby enabling MAE GP to vote the Class B shares on all matters except those involving transactions between AMIT and MAE GP affiliated borrowers or the election of any MAE GP affiliate as an officer or trustee of AMIT. On those matters, MAE GP granted to the AMIT trustees, in their capacity as trustees of AMIT, proxies with regard to the Class B shares instructing such trustees to vote said Class B shares in accordance with the vote of the majority of Class A Shares voting to be determined without consideration of the votes of "Excess Class A Shares" as defined in Section 6.13 of the Declaration of Trust of AMIT.
