e) U.S. REALTY PARTNERS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Note A - Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited financial statements of U.S. Realty Partners Limited Partnership (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 the Corporate General Partner, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1996. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1995. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 information to conform to the 1996 presentation. Note B - Reconciliation of Cash Flows The Partnership considers all cash to be restricted for tenant security deposits and for the purpose of the deposit of Net Cash Flow, as defined by the debt restructure in October of 1993. Note C - Transactions with Affiliated Parties The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the Corporate General Partner and its affiliates for the management and 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. Transactions between the partnership and affiliates of Insignia Financial Group, Inc. for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were as follows: Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 1995 (in thousands) Property management fees $146 $140 Reimbursement for services of affiliates 50 37 Due to Corporate General Partner-- includes principal and accrued interest 512 488 Note C - Transactions with Affiliated Parties - continued The Partnership insures its properties under a master policy through an agency and insurer unaffiliated with the Corporate General Partner. An affiliate of the Corporate 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 Corporate 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 Corporate General Partner by virtue of the agent's obligations is not significant. Note D - Contingency On March 29, 1994, Insignia Financial Group, Inc., an affiliate of the Corporate General Partner, was served with a complaint filed in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Kentucky and styled Kenneth Ogle, et. al., v. U.S. Shelter Corporation, et. al. The Corporate General Partner was a named defendant in such suit and was served with such complaint. Such complaint alleged, inter alia, that the Corporate General Partner engaged in a conspiracy to defraud limited partners in the Partnership, made certain material misstatements and omissions in the prospectus relating to the sale of limited partnership interests in the Partnership, and breached its fiduciary duties to a putative class of limited partners of the Partnership. The plaintiffs sought the certification by the court that the case may proceed as a class action. The case was dismissed with prejudice by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky on April 25, 1996. Plaintiffs have appealed the dismissal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. The Partnership anticipates that a decision on the appeal will be rendered. Except for the issue stated, the Registrant is unaware of any pending or outstanding litigation that is not of a routine nature. The Corporate 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 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION On April 1, 1993, the Partnership filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. The filing was made due to the Partnership's inability to repay its secured debt as a result of a deficiency of funds necessary to retire debt to an insurance company. On April 23, 1993, the Partnership filed the Reorganization Plan (the "Plan") with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of South Carolina (the "Court"). The significant provision of the Plan was the refinancing of the secured debt which occurred on October 15, 1993. On July 23, 1993, the Court entered an order confirming the Partnership's Plan. On January 27, 1994, the Court closed the case. The Partnership's investment properties consist of two apartment complexes and two commercial shopping centers. The following table sets forth the average occupancy of the properties for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995: Average Occupancy Property 1996 1995 Twin Lakes Apartments Palm Harbor, Florida 95% 92% Governor's Park Apartments Little Rock, Arkansas 92% 96% The Gallery - Huntsville Huntsville, Alabama 94% 94% The Gallery - Knoxville Knoxville, Tennessee 98% 96% The Corporate General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at Twin Lakes to a decrease in the number of home purchases by existing tenants and an increase in renewals at the property. The Corporate General Partner attributes the decrease in occupancy at Governor's Park to residents purchasing homes. Additionally, Pulaski County is experiencing a decline in population growth as people are moving to surrounding counties because of cheaper housing and better school districts. The Partnership's net loss for the six months ended June 30, 1996, was $39,000, with the second quarter recording a net loss of $26,000. The Partnership reported net losses of $168,000 and $81,000 for the corresponding periods in 1995. The decrease in net loss is primarily due to a decrease in general and administrative expense and an increase in rental revenue. General and administrative expense decreased due to a decrease in professional fees as the Partnership paid the final invoice related to the debt restructuring in the first quarter of 1995. Rental income increased as a result of rent increases at the residential properties. Also, the percentage rental income, which is rental income based on an agreed percentage of sales, from certain commercial tenants increased during the six months ended June 30, 1996. Offsetting the decrease in net loss was a decrease in other income and an increase in maintenance expense. Other income decreased due to a reduction in cleaning and damage fees, lease cancellation fees, and application fees at Twin Lakes as turnover is down in comparison to the prior year. Maintenance expense increased due to an increase in repair work which is necessary to maintain the appearance of the properties. Parking lot repairs, interior painting, landscaping, and building improvements increased during 1996 as compared to 1995. As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the Corporate 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 Corporate 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 Corporate General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan. Based on the terms of the debt structure, all cash is considered restricted. Cash flows provided by operating activities increased as a result of the decrease in net loss for the six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995. Net cash used in investing activities increased as a result of an increase in property improvements and replacements. Canopies at the Gallery Huntsville are being replaced as the existing canopies have deteriorated due to age. Net cash used in financing activities decreased due to a decrease in principal payments in 1996 as the debt payments are calculated as a factor of the Partnership's cash flow which was reduced due to increased capital improvements. The Partnership has no material capital programs scheduled to be performed in 1996, although certain routine capital expenditures and maintenance expenses have been budgeted. These capital expenditures and maintenance expenses will be incurred only if cash is available from operations or is received from the capital reserve account. 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 property to adequately maintain the physical assets and other operating needs of the Partnership. Such assets are currently thought to be sufficient for any near-term needs of the Partnership. The mortgage indebtedness of approximately $21,786,000 requires a balloon payment on August 1, 2001, at which time the properties will either be refinanced or sold. The Corporate General Partner is currently assessing the feasibility of refinancing the mortgage encumbering the Partnership's investment properties. Pursuant to the loan agreement, no distributions can be made until all long-term debt is repaid. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
