Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Significant Accounting Policies	1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The Partnership was formed on November 20, 1987, pursuant to the Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of Wisconsin. The initial capital, contributed during 1987, consisted of $300, representing aggregate capital contributions of $200 by the former general partners and $100 by the initial limited partner. A subsequent offering of limited partnership interests closed on February 22, 1990, with 46,280.3 limited partnership interests having been sold in that offering, resulting in total proceeds to the Partnership, net of underwriting compensation and other offering costs, of $39,358,468. The Partnership is currently engaged in the business of owning and operating its investment portfolio of commercial real estate properties (each a “Property”, and collectively, the “Properties”). The Properties are leased on a triple net basis to, and operated by, franchisees of national, regional, and local retail chains primarily under long-term leases. The lessees are operators of fast food, family style, and casual/theme restaurants. As of September 30, 2017, the Partnership owned eleven Properties, which are located in a total of four states. The Partnership is scheduled to be dissolved on November 30, 2020, or earlier upon the prior occurrence of any of the following events: (a) the disposition of all its Properties; (b) the written determination by the General Partner, that the Partnership’s assets may constitute “plan assets” for purposes of ERISA; (c) the approval by limited partners owning a majority of the outstanding limited partner interests to dissolve the Partnership; or (d) the dissolution, bankruptcy, death, withdrawal, or incapacity of the last remaining General Partner, unless an additional General Partner is elected previously by the limited partners. During the second or third quarters of the eight odd numbered years from 2001 through 2015, consent solicitations were circulated to the Partnership’s limited partners which, if approved by the limited partners, would have authorized the General Partner to initiate the potential sale of all of the Properties and the dissolution of the Partnership (each a “Consent”). Limited partners owning a majority of the outstanding limited partnership interests did not vote in favor of any of the Consents. Again, on or about June 15, 2017, a consent solicitation was circulated to the limited partners (the “2017 Consent”), which if approved would have authorized the sale of all of the Properties and the dissolution of the Partnership. Limited partners holding more than a majority of the outstanding limited partnership interests did not vote in favor of the 2017 Consent, and therefore the Partnership will continue to operate as a going concern. Significant Accounting Policies Rental revenue from the Properties is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective lease. Percentage rents are only accrued when the tenant has reached the sales breakpoint stipulated in the lease. Rents and other receivables are comprised of billed but uncollected amounts due for monthly rents and other charges, and amounts due for scheduled rent increases for which rentals have been earned and will be collected in the future under the terms of the leases. Receivables are recorded at management’s estimate of the amounts that will be collected. Based on an analysis of specific accounts and historical experience, as of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, there was $0 recorded as allowance for doubtful accounts. The Partnership considers its operations to be in only one segment, the operation of a portfolio of commercial real estate leased on a triple net basis, and therefore no segment disclosure is made. Depreciation of the Properties are provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the buildings and improvements. Deferred charges represent leasing commissions paid when the Properties are leased and upon the negotiated extension of a lease. Leasing commissions are capitalized and amortized over the term of the lease. As of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, accumulated amortization amounted to $210,845 and $186,850, respectively. Fully amortized deferred charges of $183,021, including related accumulated amortization, were removed from the balance sheets as of December 31, 2016. Deferred tenant award proceeds escrow represents the portion of the award proceeds from the County of Charleston’s partial taking of a portion of the Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina Property in 2011. We have been paying a portion of those award proceeds to the tenant ratably over 99 months starting August 1, 2013, in the form of a monthly rent reduction provided that the tenant continues to lease the Property without default. The Partnership generally maintains cash in federally insured accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Partnership has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Partnership to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash investments and leases. Additionally, as of September 30, 2017, eight of the Partnership’s eleven Properties are leased to three significant tenants, Wendgusta, LLC (“Wendgusta”), Wendcharles I, LLC (“Wendcharles I”) and Wendcharles II, LLC (“Wendcharles II”), all three of whom are Wendy’s restaurant franchisees. The property leases for the three tenants comprised approximately 51%, 17% and 9%, respectively, of the total operating base rents reflected as of September 30, 2017. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Assets disposed of or deemed to be classified as held for sale require the reclassification of current and previous years’ operations to discontinued operations in accordance with GAAP applicable to “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets”. As such, prior year operating results for those properties considered as held for sale or properties no longer considered for sale have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation without affecting total income. When properties are considered held for sale, depreciation of the properties is discontinued, and the properties are valued at the lower of the depreciated cost or fair value, less costs to dispose. If circumstances arise that were previously considered unlikely, and, as a result, the property previously classified as held for sale is no longer to be sold, the property is reclassified as held and used. Such property is measured at the lower of its carrying amount (adjusted for any depreciation and amortization expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used) or fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. Assets are classified as held for sale, generally, when all criteria within GAAP applicable to “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets” have been met. The Partnership periodically reviews its long-lived assets, primarily real estate, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The Partnership’s review involves comparing current and future operating performance of the assets, the most significant of which is undiscounted operating cash flows, to the carrying value of the assets. Based on this analysis, a provision for possible loss is recognized, if any. There were no adjustments to carrying values for the three or nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance on “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measures required under other accounting pronouncements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. The adoption of the provisions of this FASB issuance, with respect to nonrecurring fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and liabilities, including (but not limited to) the valuation of reporting units for the purpose of assessing goodwill impairment and the valuation of property and equipment when assessing long-lived asset impairment, did not have a material impact on how the Partnership estimated its fair value measurements but did result in increased disclosures about fair value measurements in the Partnership’s financial statements as of and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016. See Note 10 for further disclosure. GAAP applicable to disclosure about fair value of financial instruments requires entities to disclose the fair value of all financial assets and liabilities for which it is practicable to estimate. Fair value is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The General Partner believes that the carrying value of the Partnership’s assets (exclusive of the Properties) and liabilities approximate fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. No provision for federal income taxes has been made, as any liability for such taxes would be that of the individual partners rather than of the Partnership. The Partnership is not subject to federal income tax because its income and losses are includable in the tax returns of its partners, but may be subject to certain state taxes. FASB has provided guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, disclosed and presented in the financial statements. This requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the entity’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained when challenged or when examined by the applicable taxing authority. Management has determined that there were no material uncertain income tax positions. Tax returns filed by the Partnership generally are subject to examination by U.S. and state taxing authorities for the years ended after December 31, 2013.
