As such, these financial statements do not include all information and footnote disclosures required under generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and, accordingly, the accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the footnotes presented in the 1996 Annual Report. Except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change to the information presented in the footnotes to the 1996 Annual Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 and results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 have been made and are reflected. NOTE 2 - CASH At June 30, 1997, the Partnership had $2,540,000 invested in reverse repurchase agreements secured by U.S. Treasury Bills or interests in U.S. Government securities. NOTE 3 - REVENUE RECOGNITION Rents are payable to the Partnership monthly or quarterly and no significant amounts are calculated on factors other than the passage of time. The leases are accounted for as operating leases and are noncancellable. Rents received prior to their due dates are deferred. Future minimum rents of $544,293 are due as follows: For the year ending June 30, 1998 $ 406,413 1999 137,880 --------- Total $ 544,293 ========= The Partnership entered into a new 18-month lease agreement with Transmeridian Airlines for its proportionate interest in a Boeing 727 aircraft at a base rent to the Partnership of $17,920 for 8 months and $15,680 for 10 months, effective April 30, 1997. NOTE 4 - EQUIPMENT The following is a summary of equipment owned by the Partnership at June 30, 1997. In the opinion of Equis Financial Group Limited Partnership ("EFG"), the acquisition cost of the equipment did not exceed its fair market value. 6 AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS V-A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued) Lease Term Equipment Equipment Type (Months) at Cost - ------------------------------ ---------- ----------- Aircraft 10-72 $ 4,596,188 Materials handling 4-60 1,175,580 Retail store fixtures 48-60 247,961 Communications 12-60 226,017 Tractors and heavy duty trucks 1-84 54,240 Furniture and fixtures 60 5,636 Computers and peripherals 3-48 3,459 ----------- Total equipment cost 6,309,081 Accumulated depreciation (6,055,626) ----------- Equipment, net of accumulated depreciation $ 253,455 =========== At June 30, 1997, the Partnership's equipment portfolio included equipment having a proportionate original cost of $4,596,189, representing approximately 73% of total equipment cost. The summary above includes equipment held for sale or re-lease with a cost and net book value of approximately $243,000 and $1,000, respectively, at June 30, 1997. The General Partner is actively seeking the sale or re-lease of all equipment not on lease. NOTE 5 - INVESTMENT IN BANYAN On April 30, 1997, the vessel partnerships, in which the Partnership and certain affiliated investment programs are limited partners and through which the Partnership and the affiliated investment programs shared economic interests in three cargo vessels (the "Vessels") leased by KGJS/Gearbulk Holdings Limited (the "Lessee"), exchanged their ownership interests in the Vessels for aggregate consideration of $11,565,375, including 1,987,000 shares (at $1.50 per share) of common stock in Banyan Strategic Land Fund II ("Banyan") and a purchase money note of $8,219,500 (the "Note"). Banyan is a Delaware corporation organized on April 14, 1987 and has its common stock listed on NASDAQ. Banyan holds certain real estate investments, the most significant being a 274 acre site near Malibu, California ("Rancho Malibu"). The exchange was organized through an intermediary company (Equis Exchange LLC, 99% owned by Banyan and 1% owned by EFG), which was established for the sole purpose of facilitating the exchange. There were no fees paid to EFG by Equis Exchange LLC or Banyan or by any other party that otherwise would not have been paid to EFG had the Partnership sold its beneficial interest in the Vessels directly to the Lessee. The Lessee prepaid all of its remaining contracted rental obligations and purchased the Vessels in two closings occurring on May 6, 1997 and May 12, 1997. The Note was repaid with $3,800,000 of cash and delivery of a $4,419,500 note from Banyan (the "Banyan Note"). As a result of the exchange transaction and its original 46.46% beneficial ownership interest in Larkfield, one of the three Vessels, the Partnership received $735,201 in cash and is the beneficial owner of 341,435 shares of 7 AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS V-A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued) Banyan common stock valued at $512,153 ($1.50 per share) and holds a beneficial interest in the Banyan Note of $771,450. Cash equal to the amount of the Banyan Note is being held in escrow for the benefit of Banyan in a segregated account pending the outcome of certain shareholder proposals. Specifically, as part of the exchange, Banyan agreed to seek consent ("Consent") from its shareholders to: (1) amend its certificate of incorporation and by-laws; (2) make additional amendments to restrict the acquisition of its common stock in a way to protect Banyan's net operating loss carry-forwards, and (3) engage EFG to provide administrative services to Banyan, which services EFG will provide at cost. If the Consent is not obtained, repayment of the Banyan Note will be accelerated and repaid from the cash held in the segregated account. If the Consent is obtained, the Banyan Note will be amortized over three years and bear an annual interest rate of 10%. In connection with the Banyan transaction, Gary D. Engle, President and Chief Executive Officer of EFG, joined the Board of Directors of Banyan and James A. Coyne, Senior Vice President of EFG became Banyan's Chief Operating Officer. The agreement also provides that a majority of the Board of Directors remain independent of Banyan and EFG. Provided Consent is received by December 31, 1997, Banyan has agreed to declare a $0.20 per share dividend to be paid on all shares, including those beneficially owned by the Partnership. The General Partner believes that the underlying tangible assets of Banyan, particularly the Rancho Malibu property, can be sold or developed on a tax free basis due to Banyan's net operating loss carryforwards and can provide an attractive economic return to the Partnership. NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS All operating expenses incurred by the Partnership are paid by EFG on behalf of the Partnership and EFG is reimbursed at its actual cost for such expenditures. Fees and other costs incurred during each of the six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, which were paid or accrued by the Partnership to EFG or its Affiliates, are as follows: 1997 1996 -------- -------- Equipment management fees $ 66,568 $ 95,393 Administrative charges 26,250 10,500 Reimbursable operating expenses due to third parties 153,253 269,171 -------- -------- Total $246,071 $375,064 ======== ======== All rents and proceeds from the sale of equipment are paid directly to either EFG or to a lender. EFG temporarily deposits collected funds in a separate interest-bearing escrow account prior to remittance to the Partnership. At June 30, 1997, the Partnership was owed $80,824 by EFG for such funds and the interest thereon. These funds were remitted to the Partnership in July 1997. 8 AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS V-A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued) NOTE 7 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On July 27, 1995, EFG, on behalf of the Partnership and other EFG-sponsored investment programs, filed an action in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Superior Court Department of the Trial Court in and for the County of Suffolk, for damages and declaratory relief against a lessee of the Partnership, National Steel Corporation ("National Steel"), under a certain Master Lease Agreement ("MLA") for the lease of certain equipment. EFG is seeking the reimbursement by National Steel of certain sales and/or use taxes paid to the State of Illinois and other remedies provided by the MLA. On August 30, 1995, National Steel filed a Notice of Removal which removed the case to the United States District Court, District of Massachusetts. On September 7, 1995, National Steel filed its Answer to EFG's Complaint along with Affirmative Defenses and Counterclaims, seeking declaratory relief and alleging breach of contract, implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and specific performance. EFG filed its Answer to these counterclaims on September 29, 1995. Though the parties have been discussing settlement with respect to this matter for some time, to date, the negotiations have been unsuccessful. Notwithstanding these discussions, EFG recently filed an Amended and Supplemental Complaint alleging a further default by National Steel under the MLA and EFG recently filed a Summary Judgment on all claims and counterclaims. The matter remains pending before the Court. The Partnership has not experienced any material losses as a result of this action. On June 24, 1997, four plaintiffs (the "Plaintiffs") owning limited partner units or beneficiary interests in eight investment programs sponsored by EFG filed a lawsuit, as a derivative action, on behalf of the Partnership and 27 other investment programs (collectively, the "Nominal Defendants") in the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for the County of Suffolk against EFG and certain of EFG's affiliates, including the General Partner of the Partnership and four other wholly-owned subsidiaries of EFG which are the general partner or managing trustee of one or more of the investment programs, (collectively, the "Managing Defendants"), and certain other entities and individuals that have control of the Managing Defendants and the Nominal Defendants (the "Controlling Defendants"). The Plaintiffs assert claims of breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and equitable relief and seek various remedies, including compensatory and punitive damages to be determined at trial. The General Partner and EFG are in the early stages of evaluating the nature and extent of the claims asserted in this lawsuit and cannot predict its outcome with any degree of certainty. However, based upon all of the facts presently being considered by management, the General Partner and EFG do not believe that any likely outcome will have a material adverse effect on the Partnership. The General Partner, EFG and their affiliates intend to vigorously defend against the lawsuit. 9 AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS V-A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP FORM 10-Q PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Certain statements in this quarterly report that are not historical fact constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties. There are a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made herein. These factors include, but are not limited to, the ability of EFG to collect all rents due under the attendant lease agreements and successfully remarket the Partnership's equipment upon the expiration of such leases. Three and six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 1996: Overview The Partnership was organized in 1989 as a direct-participation equipment leasing program to acquire a diversified portfolio of capital equipment subject to lease agreements with third parties. The Partnership's stated investment objectives and policies contemplated that the Partnership would wind-up its operations within approximately seven years of its inception. Accordingly, the General Partner is pursuing the remarketing of all of the Partnership's remaining equipment and expects to engage an investment advisor to provide assistance and evaluate alternative remarketing strategies. Currently, the General Partner anticipates that it will wind-up the operations of the Partnership and make a liquidating distribution to the Partners, net of any cash reserves which the General Partner may consider appropriate, within the next twelve months and possibly by December 31, 1997. Results of Operations For the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, the Partnership recognized lease revenue of $1,085,914 and $1,331,361, respectively, compared to $917,320 and $1,841,805 for the same periods in 1996. The increase in lease revenue during the three months ended June 30, 1997, reflects the receipts of prepaid contractual rental obligations of $991,703 associated with the exchange of its interest in the vessel (see discussion below). The overall decrease in lease revenue from 1996 to 1997 resulted principally from renewal lease expirations and the sale of equipment. The Partnership also earns interest income from temporary investments of rental receipts and equipment sales proceeds in short-term instruments. The Partnership's equipment portfolio includes certain assets in which the Partnership holds a proportionate ownership interest. In such cases, the remaining interests are owned by an affiliated equipment leasing program sponsored by EFG. Proportionate equipment ownership enables the Partnership to further diversify its equipment portfolio by participating in the ownership of selected assets, thereby reducing the general levels of risk which could result from a concentration in any single equipment type, industry or lessee. The Partnership and each affiliate individually report, in proportion to their respective ownership interests, their respective shares of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses associated with the equipment. During the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, the Partnership sold or exchanged equipment having a net book value of $1,385,750, to existing lessees and third parties. These transactions resulted in a net loss, for financial statement purposes, of $338,649 and $294,349, respectively. The equipment transactions included the Partnership's interest in a vessel with an original cost and net book value of $3,666,680 and $1,385,750, respectively. In connection with this transaction, the Partnership realized proceeds of $1,027,101, which resulted in a net loss for financial statement purposes, of $358,649. In addition, as this vessel was disposed of prior to the 10 AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS V-A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP FORM 10-Q PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION expiration of the related lease term, the Partnership received a prepayment of the remaining contracted rent due under the vessel's lease agreement, as described above. See below for further discussion related to the vessel. On April 30, 1997, the vessel partnerships, in which the Partnership and certain affiliated investment programs are limited partners and through which the Partnership and the affiliated investment programs shared economic interests in three cargo vessels (the "Vessels") leased by KGJS/Gearbulk Holdings Limited (the "Lessee"), exchanged their ownership interests in the Vessels for aggregate consideration of $11,565,375, including 1,987,000 shares (at $1.50 per share) of common stock in Banyan Strategic Land Fund II ("Banyan") and a purchase money note of $8,219,500 (the "Note"). Banyan is a Delaware corporation organized on April 14, 1987 and has its common stock listed on NASDAQ. Banyan holds certain real estate investments, the most significant being a 274 acre site near Malibu, California ("Rancho Malibu"). The exchange was organized through an intermediary company (Equis Exchange LLC, 99% owned by Banyan and 1% owned by EFG), which was established for the sole purpose of facilitating the exchange. There were no fees paid to EFG by Equis Exchange LLC or Banyan or by any other party that otherwise would not have been paid to EFG had the Partnership sold its beneficial interest in the Vessels directly to the Lessee. The Lessee prepaid all of its remaining contracted rental obligations and purchased the Vessels in two closings occurring on May 6, 1997 and May 12, 1997. The Note was repaid with $3,800,000 of cash and delivery of a $4,419,500 note from Banyan (the "Banyan Note"). As a result of the exchange transaction and its original 46.46% beneficial ownership interest in Larkfield, one of the three Vessels, the Partnership received $735,201 in cash and is the beneficial owner of 341,435 shares of Banyan common stock valued at $512,153 ($1.50 per share) and holds a beneficial interest in the Banyan Note of $771,450. Cash equal to the amount of the Banyan Note is being held in escrow for the benefit of Banyan in a segregated account pending the outcome of certain shareholder proposals. Specifically, as part of the exchange, Banyan agreed to seek consent ("Consent") from its shareholders to: (1) amend its certificate of incorporation and by-laws; (2) make additional amendments to restrict the acquisition of its common stock in a way to protect Banyan's net operating loss carry-forwards, and (3) engage EFG to provide administrative services to Banyan, which services EFG will provide at cost. If the Consent is not obtained, repayment of the Banyan Note will be accelerated and repaid from the cash held in the segregated account. If the Consent is obtained, the Banyan Note will be amortized over three years and bear an annual interest rate of 10%. The General Partner believes that the underlying tangible assets of Banyan, particularly the Rancho Malibu property, can be sold or developed on a tax free basis due to Banyan's net operating loss carryforwards and can provide an attractive economic return to the Partnership. During the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership sold equipment having a net book value of $36,107 and $65,132, respectively, to existing lessees and third parties. These sales resulted in net gains, for financial statement purposes, of $71,952 and $190,927, respectively. It cannot be determined whether future sales of equipment will result in a net gain or a net loss to the Partnership, as such transactions will be dependent upon the condition and type of equipment being sold and its marketability at the time of sale. In addition, the amount of gain or loss reported for financial statement purposes is partly a function of the amount of accumulated depreciation associated with the equipment being sold. The ultimate realization of residual value for any type of equipment is dependent upon many factors, including EFG's ability to sell and re-lease equipment. Changing market conditions, industry trends, technological 11 AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS V-A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP FORM 10-Q PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION advances, and many other events can converge to enhance or detract from asset values at any given time. EFG attempts to monitor these changes in order to identify opportunities which may be advantageous to the Partnership and which will maximize total cash returns for each asset. The total economic value realized upon final disposition of each asset is comprised of all primary lease term revenue generated from that asset, together with its residual value. The latter consists of cash proceeds realized upon the asset's sale in addition to all other cash receipts obtained from renting the asset on a re-lease, renewal or month-to-month basis. The Partnership classifies such residual rental payments as lease revenue. Consequently, the amount of gain or loss reported in the financial statements is not necessarily indicative of the total residual value the Partnership achieved from leasing the equipment. Depreciation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 was $99,248 and $219,579, respectively, compared to $520,837 and $1,050,742 for the same periods in 1996. For financial reporting purposes, to the extent that an asset is held on primary lease term, the Partnership depreciates the difference between (i) the cost of the asset and (ii) the estimated residual value of the asset on a straight-line basis over such term. For purposes of this policy, estimated residual values represent estimates of equipment values at the date of primary lease expiration. To the extent that an asset is held beyond its primary lease term, the Partnership continues to depreciate the remaining net book value of the asset on a straight-line basis over the asset's remaining economic life. Interest expense was $1,025 and $3,388, or less than 1% of lease revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $34,526 and $64,340, or 3.8% and 3.5% of lease revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996. The Partnership's notes payable were fully amortized during the six months ended June 30,1997. Management fees were 5% of lease revenue for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, respectively, compared to 4.8% and 5.2% of lease revenue during the same periods in 1996. Management fees during the six months ended June 30, 1996 include $6,065, resulting from an underaccrual in 1995. Management fees are based on 5% of gross lease revenue generated by operating leases and 2% of gross lease revenue generated by full payout leases. Operating expenses consist principally of administrative charges, professional service costs, such as audit and legal fees, as well as printing, distribution and remarketing expenses. In certain cases, equipment storage or repairs and maintenance costs may be incurred in connection with equipment being remarketed. Significant operating expenses were incurred during the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1997 due to heavy maintenance and airframe overhaul costs incurred or accrued in connection with the Partnership's interests in two Boeing 727 aircraft. Certain of the costs incurred in the first quarter of 1996 were subsequently reimbursed by the former lessee of the related aircraft. In 1996, the Partnership entered into a new 36-month lease agreement with Sunworld International Airlines, Inc. to re-lease one of the aircraft. The second aircraft was re-leased to Transmeridian Airlines beginning April 1997. The amount of future operating expenses cannot be predicted with certainty; however, such expenses are usually higher during the acquisition and liquidation phases of a partnership. Other fluctuations typically occur in relation to the volume and timing of remarketing activities. Liquidity and Capital Resources and Discussion of Cash Flows The Partnership by its nature is a limited life entity which was established for specific purposes described in the preceding "Overview". As an equipment leasing program, the Partnership's principal operating activities derive from asset rental transactions. Accordingly, the Partnership's principal source of cash from operations is generally 12 AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS V-A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP FORM 10-Q PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION provided by the collection of periodic rents. These cash inflows are used to satisfy debt service obligations associated with leveraged leases, and to pay management fees and operating costs. Operating activities generated net cash inflows of $1,633,159 and $1,307,846 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Future renewal, re-lease and equipment sale activities will cause a decline in the Partnership's lease revenue and corresponding sources of operating cash. Overall, expenses associated with rental activities, such as management fees, and net cash flow from operating activities will also decline as the Partnership experiences a higher frequency of remarketing events. Ultimately, the Partnership will dispose of all assets under lease. This will occur principally through sale transactions whereby each asset will be sold to the existing lessee or to a third party. Generally, this will occur upon expiration of each asset's primary or renewal/re-lease term. In certain instances, casualty or early termination events may result in the disposal of an asset. Such circumstances are infrequent and usually result in the collection of stipulated cash settlements pursuant to terms and conditions contained in the underlying lease agreements. Cash expended for equipment acquisitions and cash realized from asset disposal transactions are reported under investing activities on the accompanying Statement of Cash Flows. During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Partnership realized net cash proceeds of $1,091,401, including proceeds from the exchange transaction, compared to $256,059 for the same period in 1996. Future inflows of cash from asset disposals will vary in timing and amount and will be influenced by many factors including, but not limited to, the frequency and timing of lease expirations, the type of equipment being sold, its condition and age, and future market conditions. During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership expended $245,280 to replace certain aircraft engines to facilitate the re-lease of an aircraft to Transmeridian Airlines, discussed above. There were no equipment acquisitions during the same period in 1997. As a result of the exchange transaction and its original 46.46% beneficial ownership interest in Larkfield, one of the three Vessels, the Partnership received $735,201 in cash and is the beneficial owner of 341,435 shares of Banyan common stock valued at $512,153 ($1.50 per share) and holds a beneficial interest in the Banyan Note of $771,450. The Partnership obtained long-term financing in connection with certain equipment leases. The repayments of principal related to such indebtedness are reported as a component of financing activities. The Partnership's notes payable were fully amortized during the six months ended June 30, 1997. Cash distributions to the General Partner and Recognized Owners are declared and generally paid within fifteen days following the end of each calendar quarter. The payment of such distributions is presented as a component of financing activities. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Partnership declared total cash distributions of Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales and Refinancings of $363,330. In accordance with the Amended and Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership, the Recognized Owners were allocated 95% of these distributions, or $345,163, and the General Partner was allocated 5%, or $18,167. The second quarter 1997 cash distribution was paid on July 14, 1997. Cash distributions paid to the Recognized Owners consist of both a return of and a return on capital. Cash distributions do not represent and are not indicative of yield on investment. Actual yield on investment cannot be determined with any certainty until conclusion of the Partnership and will be dependent upon the collection of all future contracted rents, the generation of renewal and/or re-lease rents, and the residual value realized for each asset at its disposal date. Future market conditions, technological changes, the ability of EFG to manage and remarket the assets, and many other events and circumstances, could enhance or detract from individual asset yields and the collective performance of the Partnership's equipment portfolio. 13 AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS V-A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP FORM 10-Q PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION The Partnership's future cash distributions will be adversely affected by the bankruptcy of a former lessee of the Partnership, Midway Airlines, Inc. ("Midway"). In 1993, the Partnership's interests in two DC-9-30 aircraft leased by Midway were transferred to a designee of the lender in lieu of foreclosure. Although this bankruptcy had no immediate adverse effect on the Partnership's cash flow, as the Partnership had almost fully leveraged its ownership interest in the underlying aircraft, this event resulted in the Partnership's loss of any future interest in the residual value of the aircraft. Notwithstanding such adverse impact, the overall investment results to be achieved by the Partnership will be dependent upon the collective performance results of all of the Partnership's equipment leases. The future liquidity of the Partnership will be influenced by the foregoing and will be greatly dependent upon the collection of contractual rents and the outcome of residual activities. The General Partner anticipates that cash proceeds resulting from these sources will satisfy the Partnership's future expense obligations. However, the amount of cash available for distribution in future periods will fluctuate. Equipment lease expirations and asset disposals will cause the Partnership's net cash from operating activities to diminish over time and equipment sale proceeds will vary in amount and period of realization. In addition, the Partnership may be required to incur asset refurbishment or upgrade costs in connection with future remarketing activities. Accordingly, fluctuations in the level of future quarterly cash distributions are anticipated. 14 AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS V-A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP FORM 10-Q PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
